Nice easter-egg, sir Zawisza Czarny as officer of High Era knights

Indeed, that sir he is

Last weekend I took a trip in Polish Army Museum in Warsaw (A must see for any military enthusiast, since it does not only have Polish stuff

) and took some pictures that might be useful. All made especially for the team

I would have taken a lot more, but the place is a a bit darkish in Medieval section and you can't use flash in camera so most of stuff was invisible on pictures and I had to delete it :/ Here are some stuff that I was able to take pics off:

Handgun from XIV century, manufactored in Klaipeda:

That looks very interesting! The knight on the last picture surely had big feet

.

Excellent units guys! Keep up the good work! I'm a huge fan!

**Dom1no** · October 16, 2016, 03:47 PM

Wow KAM nice pictures ! Love the last one, that full gothic plate armour <3

**KAM 2150** · October 16, 2016, 03:59 PM

There was a lot more stuff, but like I said, too dark to see anything on pictures without flash. There were some sweet two handed swords of Guard infantry from XV century and Knightly armour from early XIV.

Oh yeah very nice shots... sry I saw them only now... was looking at the updated preview! Great stuff! Those polearms look menacing...

**Morifea** · October 18, 2016, 12:30 AM

Great Pictures indeed... man, i need those sabbatons :-D

One point to the second last picture: The Armour on the right is a so called "Stechzeug" or "Rennzeug". It´s only for usage in Tournaments, not for Battle.... especially since the Helmet is fixed to the Armour, not very useful in a real fight.

**KAM 2150** · October 18, 2016, 10:18 AM

Yes, indeed that armour and the armour to the left of the lancer were tournament armours

That is why I did not take their standalone pictures

You should've took a picture of the whole polish pavise shield! Now we're left with having to guess. Thanks for the pictures though!

Yeah, sadly full picture of it was one of those with messed up quality

**You_Guess_Who** · October 18, 2016, 12:57 PM

This pavise...is NOT what KAM photographed.

Still, this piece is also in a Polish Museum, and share that crown with feather + white shield with a red cross in the center.

Hello! Any new units for this faction are in plans? I mean pavise crossbowman, pikemen or high-late spear serjeants or even the early hussars that are already made for serbia and hungary, so it just needs few changes to fit the polish roster

Thank you for any respond, have a nice day

I visited Malbork Castle recently and took some pictures that I thought might be useful for you guys. They had a lot of weapons on display but a lot of them were from the 16/17th centuries and onward unfortunately. Here's some Polish weapons and armor, Teutonic stuff, and a lot of weapons that were from the Central European region in general from the time-frame of the mod.

I had to delete your second post cause posting Osprey pics is not allowed on TWC. We appreciate the help though, once Banksie finishes his adjustments to the French roster he's going to cover the various Polish factions next. Odds are good we've seen any and all relevant Osprey pics and have taken them into consideration by this point. Some of us have been doing this for years after all.
