Composition of Polish Heavy Weapons Pack
How many ATRs do you get in a pack of the Polish Heavy Weapons packs?

My P7 pack had
6 x wz. 35 ATRs
16 x wz.30 HMGs
24 x Browning wz.28
+ some officers
Would have been nice to have a few more ATRs at the expense of the others. But I think you may get some with the regular infantry pack too.
I, at least, have problems getting these heavy weapons deployed on the battlefield... due to lack of available transport.

That would be consistant with the new Hungarians- only 6 ATR's in the weapons pack; none in the infantry though. I think you can order specific inf./weapon sprues...
Aren't there some mortars in the Polish weapon pack? if so, what caliber please?
As to the transport problem- ain't it the truth?!
Quite a while back I got a PM from one of the guys at GHQ (I'd written asking about polish trucks) that suggested using the Russian Gaz AA model.
He said in this scale it was very hard to tell it from one of the common Polish trucks; but be darned if I remember which one...

Oh yeah, forgot about the mortars. There were 8 in my pack.
As for what they are.... with a little imagination they are 46mm wz. 36s. They don't have the prominent and unique gas tube above the barrel (although easily scratch built).
The mortar has a one man crew. Kneeling next to the mortar, the top of the barrel is about head high. Would be VERY hard to imagine they are 81mm...
As far as the truck... sometimes I think GHQ REALLY underestimates their customers appreciation for detail (see above). They do such great detail work on so many of their other trucks... I can tell their Studebaker from their GMC at 15 feet!
As far as it being hard to tell a GAZ AA from a Polski Fiat 621L? Well maybe for my wife! GHQ has set the bar really high with all their highly detailed models and also increased our expectations. They can't possibly expect us to "make do" with a GAZ.
I wouldn't even attempt to scratch build a Polski Fiat from a GAZ - way too different.
