Bayonets Polished: BoB Army Ready

By | Published On: 29 May 2021 | Categories: Early Twentieth Century | 0.7 min read | Views: 284 |

I have now finished my Polish interwar army for Back of Beyond.

This consists of 10 infantry units, 6 MGs, 3 mortars, 3 field guns, 4 cavalry units, 3 tanks, an armoured car, and an aircraft. While perhaps not technically necessary, I will be adding seven mounted officers (including a converted Napoleonic Blucher figure for Marshal Pilsudski) to lead brigades before our first game in June.

We seem to be getting close to having enough figures for a campaign. Different club members and associates have said they can provide WW1 Germans, Turks, Anzac troops, ‘White’ (pro-Tsarist) Russians, as well as the ubiquitous Bolsheviks, while some have Spanish Civil War figures which wouldn’t be too far fetched… With this period, it seems, many figures are interchangeable, so there should be enough units to go round, however we assign the factions.

Looking forward to some fun gaming in the near future!
