Polish 1939 army in Civ 2 graphics - mistakes.

[KASHANKA]

I have seen the graphics of the polish army around the site, and I'm sorry to say that most are incorrect (only some of those by Alex Mor came close).

The most important thing: Don't use this checked symbol for all Polish units, as it is ONLY an airforce symbol.

And for the infantry, here are some photos, I hope you enjoy them.

If someone does a good icon of polish infantry, TK-3 and 7 TP tank graphics I promise to make a Poland 1939 scenario

What did the polish flag looked like anyways before Poland got occupied by Germany in -39?

If Mr KASHANKA had been intending to inform us, as opposed to pouring scorn on we mere mortals,
he might have provided a link to a site like this one, to give some pointers.

Btw, would this unit work?
I used the airforce thingy to make the shield (I didn't have anything else to use at the time)


edit: CURT: she's a girl *whispers* :P

A girl ... HERE?!

hey, everybody, put your pants on!!

KASHANKA has done some great work in Pacific General, and I am sure she meant only to give us some friendly information regarding the Polish situation.

Personally, I had no idea the shield was wrong.

Thanks for the heads-up KASHANKA

Cheers!

This is supposed to be a gentlemen only club!

I strongly protest on the presence of females in this last bastion of manhood!

[curtsibling]

LOL!
My apologies, KASHANKA!

Forgive this slip in my usual British good manners!

BANDERA HANDLOWA I NIEWOJSKOWYCH STAKÓW PA?STWOWYCH 1928-1945 (takze flaga przedstawicielstw za granic?)

from http://republika.pl/akromer/flagi_pl_bandera.html. Hope it says something about the flag and not something that violates slander laws in the US.

Or check http://flagspot.net/flags/pl-xx.html#st27 for a history in English. They also have a listing of military flags at http://flagspot.net/flags/pl-mil.html. Any Poles want to verify?

A polish 1939 scenario? Well i guess that would be played by the polish and you need a miracle to stop the Germans! No offence.

Yep, as a Pole I wanted to do just that. Sorry if I sounded rude. (English is my 3rd language and its probably because of that).

The image you posted WAS used as an unofficial national flag, and can be used for all units, but officially it was a naval banner.

The official national flag was the same as it is now. It is horizontally divided into two parts, the upper one is white with the lower one beeing red.

To Arthedain :
Sure, your infantry is the best one I've seen yet.

Well i guess that would be played by the polish and you need a miracle to stop the Germans!

No... stopping the Germans wouldn't be that difficult.
Stopping the Germans AND the Soviets - now that's when you need a miracle.

Thats nearly impossible


Just wondering, How much bigger was the polish army in 1939 compared to Finlands? (Well, we were in a war with Russia already)

[curtsibling]

Poland's brave troops put up gallant defiance to Hitler's war machine in Sept 1939.

But I cannot see how the final result could be anything other than delayed.

The casualty figures speak for themselves...

Axis German forces: 10,000+ losses.
Allied Polish forces: 250,000+ losses.

Tragic but true.
