April 1937 - January 1938
Extensive modernisation programme for the whole army was approved after the Latvian operation had finished. Edward Rydz-Smigly declared that all research should be concentrated on improving land forces, instead of dividing avalible industry between airforce and army. This meant suspension of PZL-P45 and PZL-P50 interceptor fighters' research as well as stopping process to replace LWS-4 "Zubr" bombers with modern PZL-P37 "Los" model.
PZL-P50 "Jastrzab" (Hawk)
PZL-P45 "Sokol" (Falcon)
All resources not used to form new units were to be allocated in improving artillery, infantry weaponry and land doctrines. A number of new infantry divisions was ordered to be constructed as well. A reason for this change of plans was rather simple. After the events of Febuary and March 1937, when a war between Poland and Germany could have begun every minute, it became clear that Hitler will not hesitate to attack if the Polish Army becomes much weaker then the Werhmacht.
Gamewise: Germans seem to have disbanded all their armoured divisions and started creating masses of infantry... Strange.
A program aimed to create a number of modern, motorised divisions has been applied as well. A tank bigade, named 10. Pancerno-Motorowa Brygada Kawalerii (10th Armoured-Motorised Cavalry Brigade) and 1. Dywizja Piechoty Zmotoryzowanej (1st Motorised Infantry Division) were ordered to be formed as soon as possible. In future, such units were planned to replace ordinary cavalry brigades, like the Mazowiecka Cavalry Brigade.
First trails have been commenced at the beginning of June, shortly before the brigade reached readiness. Its efficiency exceeded all expectations. On the 9th of September another manouvers were organised. This time the brigade was accompanied by freshly organised 1. DP Zmotoryzowanej. In a simulated wargame they managed to break through a fortified defensive line and sieze all their objectives twice as fast as it had been expected. The result has ultimately convinced the General Staff to start a formation process of an another armoured unit, which was called Warszawska Brygada Pancerno-Motorowa (Warsowian Armoured-Motorised Brigade).
General Wladyslaw Anders, commander of the 1. DP Zmotoryzowanej
Pulkownik* Stanislaw Maczek, commander of the 10. Pancerno-Motorowa BK
2nd of April - Second line of Dmowski's line bunkers has been finished
16th of June - 10. Pancerno-Motorowa BK has been formed (sent to reserves)
29th of August - 6. Dywizja Piechoty (6th Infantry Division) has been formed (sent to reserves)
22nd of October - The end of the Spanish Civil War (Nationalist victory)
11th of December - Japan declares war on China
2nd of January - COP is ready (Industry upgrade finished in Rowne, Sandomierz and Przemysl). Further upgrades have begun in Grodno, Bialystok, Pinsk and Berst-Litovsk (Brzesc Litewski in Polish).
3rd of January - The intelligence minister, Tadeusz Pelczynski-Grzegorz resigns. Wieslaw Domianewski is chosen as his successor.

Guderian overruled somehow? Blitzkrieg discredited, Hitler favors old-style Generals? Iiinteresting..
this isn't the AI? i remember reading that the 1.06c German AI does not build armor. does that also mean that the AI would even disband armor? :wacko:Alikchi said:
OH, and nice update!
many thanks. that means that i have to edit my paint gun post. i thought the colours were white and green. on top of that, i even managed to reverse the colours.Henry v. Keiper said:

11th of November 1918 - Polish Independence Day
Today is the 11th of November, the Polish Independence Day. Let us remember about those who fought for free Poland during the Great War of 1914-1918 and the Polish-Bolshevik war of 1920-1921.
I'll try to update my AAR tommorow. Sorry for such pause between updates, I suddenly found Call of Duty a bit more interesting than HoI.

You're lucky that the Soviets haven't attacked you yet. Every time I try to expand in the Baltic, they always ally with the Reds and down I go.
Extract from general Wieniawa Dlugoszewski's diary
8th of September, 1.15PM
A meeting with marshal Rydz-Smigly, general Anders and colonel Maczek has just ended. Tommorow we are to begin a serie of field trails, in which possibilities of using motorised and armoured units will be tested. My cavalry brigade is to take part in this exercise as a mobile reserve with Edward [Rydz-Smigly] as my superior. I am most keen on seeing Maczek's new vechicles, but I don't think they stand a chance against my veterans!
9th of September, 7.50AM
The manouvers are about to begin. My brigade is to help the 2. DP Legionow* in repelling an attack executed by Anders and Maczek's units. We seem to have quite good defensive positions in a hilly terrain. I've just visited Dudek's szwadron. He and his ulans** are most keen on seeing our new steel beasts. So do I...
9th of September, 8.43PM
Well, a debriefing after the exercise is over and I am most impressed with our soliders' performance. So is the rest of our officers. I have decided to copy some lines from my after action report to this diary:
8.00: Numerous radio transmissions could be heard on the other side of frontline. Our exercise has just begun...
8.04: Our fighters have taken off. The airforce has been splitted equally between us and our opponents, each team has twelve PZL-P11c and twelve LWS-4 "Zubr". Edward has agreed with captain Skalski that we should use six "elevens" at one time, so that we can provide constant air cover for our ground troops. "Zubrs" are standing by, ready to take off on any notice.
8.59: I have just recieved a report that one PZL-P11c has appeared above our lines. Skalski and his wingmen are trying to intercept it.
9.13: Skalski has failed to shoot the enemy down.
9.33: 2 DP reports that first contact with enemy forces has been made on my right wing. My brigade is to hold position and await further orders.
9.46: The skirmish continues. I can hear machine guns and artillery shooting. According to reports, we have some losses but we are holding the line.
10.10: The enemy is retreating. My brigade is ordered to initiate a pursuit. I'm sending the second szwadron, commanded by rotmistrz*** Dudek in. Dudek was promoted after the Latvian conflict and he proves to be my most talented officer.
10.58: Dudek has just reported back. He informs that they managed to capture some of 1. DP Zmot. cars and trucks, as well as to take a number of prisoners. It seems we are holding the line.
12.18: An airstrike has hit our lines. Eight "Zubrs", accompanied with six "elevens" attacked my positions. A simmilar air force attacked the second end of our lines.
12.30: An artillery barrage has started, concentrating fire on my unit. I ordered all soliders to prepare for direct assault.
12.33: First enemy units appeared. Our guns have opened fire.
12.46: We are holding the line. Dudek reports that he stalled enemy advance on the right, while rotmistrz Rzepecki informs that enemy assault on our left flank is getting more and more powerful. Enemy fighters are still present, immobilising our bombers.
12.57: It's a trap! A battalion of tanks struck our middle section, while most of my forces was concentrated on defending the flanks. All avalible forces have been sent to strenghten the middle, but I don't know if they manage to hold long...
13.25: Motorised infantry followed the tanks, and encircled my units after a breakthrough had been made. If this wasn't an exercise, I and all of my staff would be captured and my brigade would take heavy losses.
15.15: The exercise is over. After breaking through my lines, Maczek struck 2. DP's rear areas, and Anders quickly advanced to sieze the objective. Their victory is complete.
I wouldn't have expected that armoured units can be such a powerful weapon, but I must admit I was wrong about this. Let's see if Edward thinks so...

I've played the game up to August 1938 so far... And I must say that you are right; Jerry won't be the first one to use a true, unstoppable BLITZKREIG <thunders>
Or should I say: Wojna Blyskawiczna? (That's the way Blitzkreig is translated in Polish)
BTW, Blitzkreig is the best WWII RTS I've ever played so far
