Battlefront Miniatures
15mm (1:100 scale)
This set includes the basis for the famed Polish Armoured Train. With three cars and a locomotive, the guns and support troops of the train can halt any German attack.
The history of Polish armoured trains started shortly after Poland gained independence in 1918. They were one of the most important weapons in the war against Bolsheviks in 1919 and 1920, and the other conflicts that shaped the borders of Poland. Dozens of improvised armoured trains fought between 1918 and 1921.
The armoured trains saw action from the very first day of the war. On 1 September, two FT-17 tanks from train No. 13, General Sosnkowski, took part in the defence of Vistula bridge in Tczew. Meanwhile, its train was sent south and reached Ciechanów where fighting was already under way. On the same day armoured train No. 12, Poznanczyk, was operating in support of 56th Infantry Regiment and its fire helped to stop German advance near Cieszków.
The artillery of the armoured trains provided both direct and indirect fire support. Armoured train No. 53, Smialy, supported the defence of Mokra by the Wolynska Cavalry Brigade against the German 4th Panzer Division, destroying a number of German tanks with direct fire over open sights. On the other hand armoured train No. 11, Danuta, stopped the advance of German 24th Infantry Division with artillery fire. German counterbattery fire had difficulty in ranging on the constantly moving train.
