Well, now we have a load of SCW stuff, I was wanting to do a French "interventionist" force for something different, and I found the most common decent tank c1936-37 was the Renault Char D1.
And I wanted some French cavalry.
Does anyone make either of these in 10mm?

Hi sultanbev

I haven't been able to come up with a Char D1 for you but Pendraken does make French cavalry in their WW1 range, albeit with lance http://www.pendraken.co.uk/F12-p4021/. If you feel like doing head swaps, the WW1 American cavalry are just armed with carbine. There's another manufacturer that makes Polish cavalry that could be used.

For my French interventionists I have painted up some Fusiliers Marins and Foreign Legion, Laffly 50AM  AC, 25mm AT guns (Pendraken), some light tanks and motorcycles (competitor). In the midst of feverish activity are French sailors (Pendraken - FPW range) and some Dragons Porte - infantry, MMG, mortar, 25mm AT guns and more motorcycles (competitor).

While you can't get a Char D1, you could get a nice propaganda piece in a Char 2C with some light tanks buzzing around.



That reminds me to get one before the prices go up  :D
