Finished off my BA Polish Black Brigade army a bit ago. Boots from Gorgon Studios (Sorry, they're sold out. I assume that's "my bad") and the Tankettes are Warlord.
So the list I have consists of two mirrored reinforced platoons, each with a 3-man command squad, two 10-man vet rifle squads, an ATR, and a Tankette with a light autocannon. There's no list out for the Polish yet, but most of this is in other books. 13-point vet rifles (form any book), 39-point vet ATRs (from Soviets), and the Tankettes I guesstimated around 110 points based on the German 222 (dropping open-topped and losing the flak MMG).
I played two games yesterday, both against Americans. First I played against Al. His list consisted of a lot of regular boots and no vehicles, with one large engineer blob+flamethrower, air support, and quite a few small teams (zooks, snipers, etc). We played Demolition. While neither of us destroyed the opposing objective, in terms of stuff killed, I think he pretty handedly won.

Boots deploy on the objective. |
 |
Tankette moves up and takes shots on the HMG in a building |
 |
Boots run forward |
 |
Boots take some long range shots at guys on the other end |
 |
First round of US air support puts out lots of pins on my left flank, but "only" kills 3 guys. |
 |
The second round puts out even more pins, and kills four. |
 |
Some outflanking boots arrive on the flat flank |
 |
ATR team outflanks and does a suicide charge on some infantry. (We later learned that they can't assault the turn they arrive). It was a suicide move, and I died in defensive fire, but I figured they would just get shot up and die anyway, so... |
 |
This is all I had left defending my objective at the end |
Later in the evening, I played Gordon. He also played US, but an airborne list with mostly Vets, an armored car, and a Chaffee. We played the mission where I was attacking and he had three objectives to defend. I almost took one, but lost it in the end. Although in terms of things killed, it was much closer than my first game.
 |
In my second game I played Gordon. (Also, my first game was against Al, on the left) |
 |
ATRs taking "hail mary" shots needed 6+6s on the armor car. |
 |
Tankette also taking hail marys on the armored car. It actually managed to score some pins. |
 |
Some outflanking boots wipe half of a 6-man para SMG squad. |
 |
These boots took a charge, and managed to wipe out a 6-man para squad. |
