Hello,

I want to visit the shop to buy some early war french… I was disppointed when I see they have been removed.

Any chance to see them come back this year ?

With some new material ??

Thanks.

Would indeed be interesting!

There are only Polish troops available now from bam for early WWII.

I second that for the french and what for the Belgians or Dutch?

There was hard fighting in the beginning of the war in the "bulges" by the Belgians and the Dutch fought hard for Amsterdam.

Ofcourse with a bit converting one can make Belgians from early war french (since the helmet an overcoat were the same.

Interesting question worrywort

Cheers

Early war French are having their moulds remade. When we bought Bolt Action a l;ot of the range was being cast from master moulds. That is a very bad thing indeed!

So, we're working our way back through the range and remaking them into production moulds.

In the main that doesn't affect production but as the French are a popular little range we couldn't risk burning the master moulds out.

I'm afraid I don't have an ETA for their re-release but as soon as we can!

As an aside what do you thin the range should have added to it?

Cheers,

Paul

Sorry but what's exactly is an ETA ?

They need some different things like

Anti tank guns like 25mm or 47mm

Motor sides crew

Cavalry like metropolitan and morocan (spahi)

Colonial infantry

“dragons portés”

Artillery

some different packs of various head.

60mm mortar

some other officers with helmet

different equipements or trousers (two models of clothes)

corp francs

Thank you for your interest about this range.

I'll we be patient.

But haven't you in your stock some packs ?

I'm really disapointed, because I need some stuff like mortar or HMG...

ooh yes french would be lovely to see, just the basics would be a nice start, something that can make a useable army from the various rule systems around, officers, MG's, artillery the basic more famous tanks (R35's, char B's and somuas) and so on, then later on add the more interesting items.

Quick update before I hit the sack: the new production moulds for the French are being started on Thursday. Hope to have the range back on the webstore soon.

Then we can think about what else is needed to add to the range. I think we should have some artillery to go with the artillery crew for a start! Any preferences?

Cheers,

Paul

Great news for me Mister Paul.

Artillery would be certainly cool with in priority the 75 mm.

But in priority, Anti tank guns with crew are necessary to play a game against tanks. 25mm is the most numerous in a basic army.

Motor sides crew are cool too. They look great with their specific clothes and helmets. And there were in the earth of many figths.

Cavalry like metropolitan and morocan (spahi) ! Very important.

Colonial infantry or some different heads ?

“dragons portés” with their car.

60mm mortar for the HQ Cie and Platoon

some other officers with helmet

different equipements or trousers (two models of clothes)

Radio.

Some vehicules like Panhard somua, Bi bis R35, H39, D2, AMR etc
