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 :)
What i dont get is, well...the poles got crushed. They were out gunned and had terrible equipment...will this just consist of retreating the whole time? I joke but really what will you be doing?
Actually we were not crushed so easily and we had very modern equipment some of which was better than German or Soviet counterparts. The only problem is that we didn't have enough of that equipment for an aggressive campaign thus leaving us only with a defensive war as our only effective tactic. We were fighting a war of attrition against the Germans and the only thing that broke our backs so to speak was the soviets surprise attack on Poland and that it had allied it self with the Germans. No one could have imagined this as a possibility since in ideology and politics the Communists and Nazis were opposites and hated each other. But yea Hitler and Stalin made a secret deal in the Ribbentrop Molotov pact to cooperate in the destruction of Poland and divide its territory equally among themselves.
Had the Soviets stayed neutral then Poland would have held out for at least another month via the Romanian Bridgehead while English war materials would resupply them. Should Poland have held out longer than that the British Expeditionary Forces would have reinforced them there while the French would have attacked Germany's vulnerable Western border essentially ending the war by early 1940.
great! Derela.republika.pl
any videos?
Oh, not just yet... sorry... But we will surely hire a talented director to make a promo or two for us once we're there.
You guys said that you wanted to also model the smaller sister tank to the 4TP the amphibious tank prototype PZInż.130 right? Well I am wondering if you guys will make both variants as according to one of my sources it was planed to be armed with either a 7.92mm WZ. 25, WZ. 30 TMG or 20mm WZ. 38 FK-A series AT gun.

Hi. Yes, I believe we have mentioned this at some place. Yet, it was a prototype and (as the already presented ones) will be only a bonus addition to the core-mod. What we need to take care of first is the actual frontline vehicles. We still lack Vickers 6ton Mk.E (type A & type B), twin-turreted 7TP, TK-3, Renault R35, Hotchkiss H39, and some artillery tractors like C2P, C4P and C7P.
I see good to know. :)
Looks fantastic, I can't wait to try it out! I was waiting for the one that was in dev for Arma, is this the same team and mod?
Hi, thanks for kind words. Yes, it is the same mod :)The team is significantly smaller than the original one, but it has some of the very same members (Jaksa and Marekmodel). I am a newcomer who joined in ArmA II times.
