Poland buildI enjoy playing early war battles with my friends. We generally only play up to 1941 in our games. We've played with all the "big" nations ie., USA, USSR, and Germany. I've been trying to construct a good all Polish army to play with. I have at least doubles of every Polish unit in the game. I was wondering if there is a good way to best utilize the cavalry, infantry, and small tanks they have. Does anyone know how to I can best utilize my figures to make a strong army? If anyone could help, it would be greatly appreciated.

Well , I don't think you can since most of their unit don't have any AT capacity. The few that have some is your regular riflemen with his close assault SA.
BUT, if you're only interested in keeping historical you can!
A lot of Bofors were used by Polland and a few Renault R35 were bought before the war.
Also, you can see that the T-26 looks a lot like the 7tpw. That's because the 7tpw (the version with 2 small turrets) and the 7tp (a version with one bigger turret with a AT gun) were probably the best version of Vickers 6 tons tank (with a bigger engine than the other versions).
The T-26 was almost the same tank because... the soviets bought a licence to produce the 6 tons and renamed it T-26 with minor modifications. So you could just use T-26 to represent the single turret 7tp.

We do the same thing uisng the Soviet T-26 to represent the Vicker's license built 7tpw also, but we make it cost more points to reflect the more vast resources available to the Soviets and the limited resources available to the Poles. Kind of like spending for a "heavy tank" for the Poles. (Soviet T26 11pts, Polish 7tpdw 8pts, so, Polish 7tpj 16pts). Whether this is historically accurate or not.
Besides, our scenario always has the Poles playing defend or delaying action.
Great idea on the Bofors and the R35; I think will suggest/use that idea!
Would Red Devil be willing to post your scenario/army builds for vs. Polish battles? If not, that's okay.
I like pre 1941 games too. Nice break from the Vet tiger for crying out loud. We are working on our own version of Soviet Japanes border war scenario to play. When else do you get to use some of these units.

The Poles also manufactured many copies of the US BAR.
