Polish armies in Bolt Action are known for their strong early-war infantry, defensive tactics, and courageous cavalry charges. They often rely on fieldcraft and sheer bravery rather than advanced weaponry. Players can build either early 1939 Polish forces or late-war Free Polish units using British equipment and structure.

Yes. Warlord Games provides army list support for both the 1939 Polish Army and the Free Polish forces that fought later in the war. Early-war lists include unique vehicles and cavalry units, while late-war forces often use British equipment and organization, such as those seen in Italy and Normandy.

Yes. Cavalry played a notable role in the early days of the war, particularly during the September Campaign of 1939. In Bolt Action, Polish cavalry can be fielded as mobile assault units capable of charging enemy lines, adding a unique tactical option rarely seen in other nations’ forces.

The 1939 Polish Army used a variety of light tanks and armored cars, such as the 7TP, TKS tankettes, and improvised vehicles. In the Free Polish forces, players can field British-made tanks like the Sherman, Cromwell, and other support options common to Allied lists.

Polish forces offer unique tactical challenges and can be very effective in the hands of a skilled commander. Their versatility in both early- and late-war formats allows for a range of playstyles—from defensive infantry lines to aggressive cavalry flanks and armored assaults using Allied equipment.

Polish armies offer rich historical appeal, from their brave defense in 1939 to their contributions across Europe with the Allies. The unique combination of uniforms, cavalry, and transitional equipment creates a visually distinct and narratively rewarding force for hobbyists and history enthusiasts alike.

Rules for Polish forces can be found in several Bolt Action supplements. "Armies of France and the Allies" includes early-war Polish lists, while campaign books like "Italy: Soft Underbelly" and "D-Day: British & Canadian Sectors" include Free Polish army options and theater selectors for late-war play.
