The year is 1939. Poland celebrates the 21st year of independence regained after 123 years of partitions by Russia/Austria/Prussia. On September 1st armed forces of Germany and Slovakia, followed by Soviet Union on September 17th attack Poland - all without any war declaration, breaking the non-aggression pacts and international laws. An uneven struggle begins as Poland mobilises it's forces in face of the aggression. World War 2 begins - the most bloody and life-costing conflict in human history...
September 1939 mod reunites the former founding-fathers of the original Operation Flashpoint modification (MarekModel & Jaksa), bringing some "fresh blood" on board (such as myself, Abs, Lecholas and recently Vilas). Goal of ours is to recreate the weaponry, gear and armament of the Polish Army, as well as the opposing sides as truly to the historical facts as possible, including a believable 1930's environment, depicting Poland contemporary to the events.
3(+) fighting factions, 1 civilian faction - all featuring equipment never before seen to such an extent in a WW2 mod; We've raised the bar high for ourselves; but intend to keep the promise and hope to deliver as much of the original mod idea as possible.

Four factions, each with a vast array of original equipment, weapons, civilians and their vehicles - plus a believable environment... All of this requires a lot of work - if you feel like your 3D-modelling skills can come in handy and contribute to completion of the mod, or expansion of the current content; we invite you to contact us :)
Looks good, tracking. I know it's a lot to' ask, but ACE2 compatibility would be great to have.
Ace 2 is pretty much garbage.
agreed
Is there some penetration system implemented other than the A2's whatnot hitpoint-system?
Do you have any plans of later making about the Polish forces who fought with the British in Operation Overlord? Like in Hill 262?
Awesome work you have done so far, i've always been interested in start of WWII, almost no games cover it.
sounds good,by any chance, despite the title being 1939, will the mod ever expand so that their is the option to do some early war eastern front battles, with the soviets against the germans.
Sorry to be that disappoinitng but it'd be a 'no' to your question, we do not envisage such possibility at the moment. If there's going to be an expansion, we rather think of the post-September resistance movements to be depicted.
Though, via the mission editor you'll be able to play Germans vs. Soviets as much as you like to ;)(given the 1939 equipment it'd be pure fiction, but...)
nevertheless, sounds excellent.
Also if the campaign is made well enough it can have a dark and gloomy atmosphere so to speak. a little dose of reality since no matter how hard they player tries Poland still loses. You know a kind of drama aspect to it especially if the Polish resistance would be added and the campaign be expanded into the occupation of Poland and its brutally effective insurgency which got so bad to the point that the Germans posted signs near all forested areas outside of major cities "Achtung Bandits" meaning warning bandits which was their version of the word terrorists back in the day. It also shows how afraid they were >:)
But most importantly it would shed light upon a long forgotten campaign and the beginning of a world wide war of attrition that would last for 5 years. It could also bring to light long forgotten and forsaken hero's of WW2 like the ones in the great book "A Question of Honor".
It will have such an atmosphere, no worries. I am working on, and already shown POW soldiers, devastated equipment, wrecks. I'm about to make some dead horses too. No worries, we're not making a sci-fi mod showing how we're effortlessly marching straight to Berlin ;)
