I have been slowly putting together a 10-12 scenerio campaign covering the Polish Campaign, centering on the Polish 10th Mechanized Brigade. As of right now I have about three completed maps and a half dozen more in various stages of construction. I have found terrific resources on the net to date that break down the organization of both the Polish and German divisions as they were in 1939...and also a copy of "The Polish Campaign of 1939" by Steven Zaloga and Victor Madjec, which has given me the rare Polish version of how the campaign unfolded. (as well as the locations of the major battles/minor shirmishes the 10th fought in as it fell back across southern Poland)
As such, I feel I have more than enough information on the Polish units that I need to make the campaign really authentic from that side of the coin...but I could use more information on the German units. Mainly I am looking for unit breakdown and/or OOB's for the 2nd Panzer Div. / 4th Light Div. / 3rd & 4th Mountain Divs. I have found "FeldGrau.com" which has provided some input about the 2nd PzDv. but not enough about the others.
If any one has any tips on some good resources I can use to get the correct unit numbers and organization I would really appreciate it. I have a weeks vacation coming up and I was planning on devoting a good portion of it to laying out a detailed chart of the units that would appear in this campaign...and perhaps fitting out the first scenerio. Any and all input welcomed.

kkb66, If you haven't already found what you need drop me a line at jotto18@attbi.com along with a list of German divisions you need and I can probably get you what you need.

Hello kkb66, When you need a playtester for your campaign, just send me a mail. Currently, I am playing Redleg scenarios of the same and I am having a blast! Christophe

Thank you for the responses.
Jason, I will take advantage of your offer and email you about the German Divs. that I need more information on in order to give the campaign the touch of realism I want to build into it.
Christophe, I'll consider you a playtester when I get to that stage. I hope to have the first couple of scenerios in the final stages within a couple weeks. (that is when I will be taking a break from work and will have time to really dedicate a fair amount of hours to the project)
Now, it's back to the map editor for me...time to do a bit more work on the map covering the area of Tarnow, Poland.
