Allied Support for Poland?

[thefish7]

Has anyone ever kicked around the idea of writing an event in which the UK or France (or other allies) actually offer some meaningful support to Poland? Like, sending them expeditionary forces, etc? Would be interesting to see a tougher fight for Poland...

some events are already done.
check the "TAG Treasury and Id Allocation" thread for more info
and...
PLEASE can you use the proper thread the next time. For example, this event that you are talking about is about Poland, so put it in the Eastern Europe thread

Sorry

Generalissimo,
Sorry my fault. I meant to put it in Eastern Europe thread. I hit the wrong button "post new thread." Best part is, I was looking for the post, and couldn't find it in Eastern Europe, and thereby posted it again. So I did it, not once, but twice. Sorry again. And thanks for the reply.

no problema

The allies never had the ability to send expeditionary forces. Its unhistorical.

Yup, they would have never gotten trough the Sund...

Well, those events are not about another BEF, but about Brittish and French pre-war arms shipment (via Konstanca, Romania, not Sund).
Planes (French MS 406 and English Battles) were never delivered - war broke out and Romania didn't allow to send them to Poland. In new events there is a slim chance, that POL would get them before war and very, very slim chance, that even during the war Romania will allow to deliver them.
But I'm not going to add more "supporting" events - since (except of the case described above) nothing like that happened.

Well, the first escadrille of Hurricanes (and a single Spitfire for testing purposes) were actually sent to Poland through the Sund. The problem was that, due to some dockers' strike in Plymouth, the ship had left the port as late as late evening of the last day of August. After the war broke out, the captain decided to turn his ship back as he feared the german bombers in the port of Gdynia. But this is a slightly different story, as the planes were carried in containers, and were to be assembled in Poland.
