10mm French 1940 Army

[bigjackmac]

All,

This is the last of the armies I have finished, though I do have a work-in-progress that I'm going to photo and hang here tomorrow.  So, without further adieu, here is my latest army; and what are they?  They are Early War French, circa 1940.


The entire force: armor on the left, with a single Char B, two Somuas, and three R35 tanks.  Heavy Weapons and HQ in the center, with five officers, a 75mm gun and horse-drawn tow, two 25mm AT guns, four MGs, three mortars, and three AT rifles.  On the right are the infantry, with my customary fifteen stands of riflemen.


The armor.  I like the camo on the Somuas, I love the camo on the R35s, but I'm not in love with my job on the Char B.


The Headquarters Section and Heavy Weapons.


The infantry, five platoons of three squads each.

Hello BJM

Very nice. You must get a Char 2C though to provide photo opportunities for the Paris newspapers  :-



Also you need to get this guy to upscale his cars to 1/150 from 1/160 and printed in the cheaper strong and flexible resin:-

Have you thought of doing horse drawn limbers for the 25mm guns? Very similar ones are available in the German range:-

Thanks for the kind words guys.  It's all due to Ronan!  He convinced me to 1) get more games in; 2) start a blog; and 3) build a French force.  So, my thanks, watching Ronan's adventures has been very inspiring.

Grumpy - No, I hadn't really thought about limbers for the 25mm ATGs, I'll have to look into those, thanks.

V/R,
Jack
