@piers – indeed, those white and yellow crosses seem to be a feature of the Poland Campaign only, I’ve never fully understood why.  I’ve seen more “traditional” balkenkreuz” pre-war, and of course for the 1940 campaign forward (several types), but never again those yellow and white crosses, from what I’ve read they seemed to make too much of a good aiming point for enemy gunners.

Agree 100% on the non-mechanized preponderance of Poland 1939.  The same could be said for most early or even mid-war campaigns.  For our Panzer Leader campaign we are shamelessly cherry-picking, rooting through the campaign for the most mechanized engagements we can find and using those as a basis for the Panzer Leader scenarios.   Hence engagements like the mechanized sections of battles like Borowa Góra, Tomaszów Lubelski, and Jordanów.
