Not so Key Characters
Although we’ve labelled the new system coming online in the Fall of Poland campaign as ‘Key Characters’, the truth is that the invasion of Poland was a real part of a real war, and there are always causalities in warfare. So Key Character or not, if these special individuals fall in combat or are caught in a crossfire, your entire campaign does not grind to a ‘game over’ halt over the loss of any one individual on the battlefield. There’s no plot armor here!

Polish Units
We won’t be covering every single new unit being added alongside the upcoming Fall of Poland Campaign debut, but here are a few Polish units and we want to especially highlight. The first unit is actually a new type of Infantry Cavalry unit, the Polish Uhlan. One of the popular myths of the Invasion of Poland is that Polish Cavalry armed with lances attempted to charge German Panzer tanks, and as fanciful and heroic as that visual might be, we decided not to lean into that particular myth. By the time of the Invasion of Poland, while it is true that Poland did retain an elite force of Cavalry, they typically did not ride into battle on their horses. The days of that sort of Cavalry charge are pretty much resigned to history by 1939, and in fact one of the VERY last such mass Cavalry charges in war took place during the Spanish Civil War, during the 1938 Battle of Teruel, which we explored in the Axis Operations Spanish Civil War Campaign! To better represent this facet of Cavalry in 1939, the Polish Uhlan is actually a switch unit! In its default form, it is very mobile unit with an impressive 7 ‘horse’ type movement, but this form actually has incredibly poor combat stats. In its switch form, however, you can see the Polish Uhlan now fights dismounted and has stats much more befitting an elite infantry unit of the 1939 era. This combination of high mobility that can switch into powerful combat power makes the new Polish Uhlan a very flexible tool for Polish fighting forces. Note that the new Uhlan does not overwrite the old Polish Cavalry unit, but it does cost more slots and significantly more prestige to field compared to the default Cavalry unit.


German Units
For Germany, we have new variants on both the Panzer II and also Panzer I.
