What units from other nations can Poland use?

At the most I get 2-3, so my tactics may differ. If you have more, it best to drop them in a spread to prevent enemy movement, but still keep them close to eachother.

Most often I either drop em early to get the most use out of them.
They work well either by entering behind enemy lines and taking commanders/artillery out, or landing on objective hexes or bridge to prevent early capture.
Sometimes I keep them back to face a threat the enemy has (Armored cars or apposing Paras/Heros. But for the most part they pop out pretty early! :D

@Ducky:

My Russia is always outclassed by Germany. I’ve won with them, but don’t remember the last time. I had an amazing 200 point build, but bit the dust because of an unfavorable side of the map for me, and a very favorable one for him, as well as the fact he fielded almost no armor, which screwed me. Both of us use Russia well (quick and aggressive), but Germany always seems to come out on top. Either because of it hitting harder or just being awesome at playing defensively against Soviet armor. When they are dug in, Russia’s aggression really doesn’t pay off, and it can’t play defensively because of lacking range on attacks. I have a problem of building a Soviet army to take on what I’d personally field as a German player, which I didn’t realize until the last game I played, when I opted to take a KV-1 instead of a Soviet Partisans platoon, and got eaten alive by 5 PAK40s and some MG teams…

My next build is going to be balanced for once… not 90% armor:

Soviet T-34 Platoon - 78
-1x Guards T-34/85
-2x T-34/75
-2x PPSh-41 SMG
Soviet Assault Gun Platoon - 59
-4x SU-76M
Soviet Partisans - 23 (x2)
-1x Cossack Captain
-3x Communist Partisans
-1x Fanatical Sniper
Maxim M1910 MG - 7 (x2)
Mousin-Nagant 1891/30 - 3
Ammo Dump - 10

(the cool thing about the Soviet Partisans platoon is that it doesn’t count against “special unit” limits and all the 6 communist partisans and 2 fanatical snipers within them have a special rule of being deployed on any unoccupied edge hex… 2 snipers with crack shot behind enemy lines!!)

I can’t remember the last time my Germans lost though, which is nice. The only side I have a hard time with is the USA, solely because their infantry is really amazing.

Yeah– I run into the same problem fighting the US. Amazing infantry. I’ve been trying to focus on good German infantry builds and not armor. The german infantry can hold the line like nobodies business with a haupsturmfuhrer present. I’m still waiting on the 2 81mm mortars and spotters I ordered. When the F##k are they going to get here?? My opponent is getting good with Russia and the problem is: they have excellent armor. Almost too good. They have tanks that can do really well against infantry as well so it’s well balanced. I hate those frickin Nagasat men and the snipers. Now I know how my opponent must feel fighting my weirmacht snipers. They are rarely killed and out of the 2 I usually field, it’s rare that one of them dies. In fact, in every game I’ve played, they have been one of the last units standing.

Still too expensive, but better than nothing!

That’s great info, thanks everyone!

Max and I played through a short game tonight. It was only when I played solo after he hit the hay, that I really grasped the rules. It’s actually a nice blend of skirmish and area style games. Positioning is oh so important. When I rush in I get slaughtered ‘cause I don’t realize how much damage those tiny pieces of plastic are capable of. I’m lovin’ it so far!

**Hello my defenders of the Fatherland.  I’m looking for your thoughts again.  I like assult groups, I’m wondering what you have used in the past as a combined force or (assult group)  ie: 4 sspg 1 sshaup 1 pz faust 1 exp snipe.  It can be armor or infantry.

list out Parameters:

Year
Unit limit
Why was it successful? (what did you use it against?)**

idk the 88 works awsome if you surrond them with good infantry and meduim tanks "panzer IV’s

Though I like the grizzled veteran, it is the inspiring hero who has captured my heart.  The last two games I have played with the British I have used the Inspiring Hero in conjuction with 2 piat gunners by themselves in adjacent hexes.  I wait for the Germans to get close- then chaos erupts as I drop my Hero in with my PIATs and they skip forward and stop any armor column dead in it’s tracks.  In each game I have destroyed three tanks, the last one I destroyed a Elite Panzer III, a Puma, and a Panzer IV.  I love PIAT gunners now.
