Just finished reading Zamoyski's book Warsaw 1920, inspiring stuff. I know there are no 28mm figs out there for the Poles, but has anyone any ideas (short of me coming up with them myself)which figures I could use to represent them? |

French, Germans, maybe some head swapping if you are up to it. |

What was their uniform/helmet/rifle at the time? |

IIRC Straight-up WWI French should do for the Blue Army at least. |

I'd be inclined to use lots of creative license. picture Poles fought in a number of different armies in the Great War, and I have the impression that the Polish army in 1920 was still very much "come as you are" |

What kind of armor rateing should the Virgin Mary have? I have a picture in a magazine that shows them in mixed german outfits. |

Lentulus: that picture mostly shows the "official" Polish uniform. Worn by almost no-one in 1920. The "come as you are" is right. German, Austrian, British, Russian and French -- all can be used. More with cap than helmets, and without much by way of trench kit (no gas masks in particular), but otherwise straight up WWI. |

Great pic, thanks for posting. Is that figure in the front a woman in a skirt or a man in a kilt like uniform? |
