Romainians in the Woods

Romainian troops moving into the woods.

You never know what's in the woods.

Could be Germans.

Could be nothing.

Keep a sharp eye out.

Polish People's Army

Another useful set from the Eastern Front, Polish People's Army

After Russia and Germany conquered Poland in 1939, many Polish people ended up in the Red Army.

Still, they were often very nationalist and often wore bits of Polish uniforms with their Red Army uniforms.

Of course, most of the troops will wear the standard Soviet uniform.

Long ago, I set aside some of my Soviet troops and tanks for a Polish Army.

I am very pleased these guys came along because they will make it more distinctively "Polish."

Good poses, a reasonable mix of active firing and moving around in combat.

These are they type of figures I really like, and some I never thought I would ever see.

Polish Troops

Strelets Polish People's Army are the counterpoint to the Police Battalion set.

Many Polish people fought for the Soviet Union in the hope of restoring Poland after the war.

They have a nice mixture of equipment from the Soviet Union and from Poland.

The most obvious item being the Polish cap.

Polish troops helped with the capture of Berlin.

The caps and a Polish flag really give them a great, distinctive appearance.

Figures are a little better than usual for Strelets.

Animation is good and the weapons  mix of a variety of small arms is good too.   I intend to supply them with a few heavy weapons from my Russian troops and mix these guys in with them.
