Achtung, module users! After some late nights and a decent amount of vodka, I have managed to put together the units required to play Early War Poland and Early War Germany in Flames of War!

The Polish army is a study in contrasts; some excellent inter-war tanks like the 7TP, which can challenge any Panzer on relatively even footing, fighting alongside fast moving Cavalry and Machine-Gun Taczanka. Combined with a sturdy but outnumbered infantry, fighting as the Polish allows you to punch far above your weight class.

Whereas, playing as the Germans in the early stages of WW2 gives you an eclectic mix of early, but familiar tanks such as the Panzer III and IV, and though they have teething troubles, the very beginning of the half-track mounted German infantry that come to dominate the landscape of Europe. You have Czech tanks and artillery, armored cars by the ton, motorcycle formations- add in some hilarious extras like truck mounted 8.8cm FlaK 18 guns, and you have a recipe for some serious blitzkrieg!

This update will bring World War VASSAL up to 2.7 Release Version. The next few weeks may bring another update or two if the Early War momentum keeps rolling, or if I decide to finish the stuff in Free Nations. Until then, may you roll well, and never bog down!
