I have been a few French infantry battalions short for our Lasalle games, often having to use French Allied battalions in their stead. Finishing off these were important from a gaming perspective because I would like to use the allied battalions to easily differentiate the French conscripts on the tabletop ( a gaming decision not a reflection on their ability as many fought as well or better than the French!).
Again these needed completely re-basing but very few repairs or painting touch ups.
Legion De Havoveur
French Tirailleurs (later 1st Voltiguers)
Legion De Irlandais
This unit (the figures not the real unit) is perhaps my all time favourite.
French 5th Tirailleurs
Some more nice troops there, Dave! 🙂 The Irish certainly bring some different colour to the table!
Thanks John. By the way for some reason my “following” of your blog didn’t seem to work. I checked today after not receiving any notifications despite your regular comments on mine. All sorted out now!
I’m afraid I’ve been quiet for the last month, Dave, and not been motivated to do much, a combination of getting over COVID and the world situation at them moment I think! But sometimes WordPress does throw the odd spanner in the works so I appreciate you checking up and hopefully getting notifications! 🙂 With a bit of luck I’ll have a post out soon-ish!
Another great update Dave, and as you say, allows the allied troops for something else.
Thanks Dave.
