Another Battallion of Completed Poles 1919

My third battalion of Poles for the Russo-Polish War are completed and based.

This unit is wearing the 1919 uniform, the pre-curser of the uniform worn by the Poles during early WW2. Most Poles were still wearing Uniforms issued by the armed forces of their origin armies, so this uniform was often issued to the newly raised volunteer regiments.

As with other units this is 4 companies of 8. The MG has already been completed and included in an earlier post.

A mix of manufacturers mainly Woodbine Miniatures from Gripping Beast.

The below company has 7 Gripping Beast troopers, a Studio Siberia Officer and a couple of Studio Siberia Polish caps.
With this unit 5 Woodbine and two Studio Siberia on the right hand base, the chap at the back and the one on the right with the Grenade, again a couple of Studio Siberia Caps keep the Polish theme.

The command base is all Studio Siberia and very nice with a flag from Flags the lads, no longer available I believe.
The gun and crew again Woodbine with a couple of Siberia heads. This isnt a battalion gun I just did it at the same time and gives me two now.
Another Woodbine figures company with just one Siberia head at the back of the right hand base. I do like the bare head and bandaged head options from Woodbine.
Lastly this company are mainly Studio  Siberia with appropriate heads, the very left hand figure is actually a Wargames Atlantic German trooper with a French helmeted head and the officer is from Woodbine.
Pretty pleased with how these came out, German (Greater Poland) uniforms next up I think and getting closer to a game with them.

A few more close up pictures to give you a better feel for these lovely figures.









Thanks for stopping by.
