Hello, I think I know the answer to this, but does anyone make 1940 French mounted cavalry? If not, what do folks think of the idea of using WW1 French cav for WW2. Mark |

I would imagine it would work fine in 15mm.
Except that the horses would be REALLY old by then. |

I think the WWI figs would work okay. |

True North (now part of Old Glory) make Polish cavalry in Adrian helmets – might they make a useful substitute for French? |

Mark, Thanks for that suggestion. I think they would work. Mark |

Historicalgamer, if you dry brush the mane and tail of your French mounts with grey,and then lightly with white, you could get away with it. |

Minifigs WWI French cavalry are what I'm planning to use. |

I plan to use True North Polish mounted and dismounted cavalry figs as well. I can see no real difference between the French and Poles in a 15mm scale. In fact, I think they will work well for a Polish or French force in FoW as there is no reason to collect a separate force. The shade of khaki may be different, but no that much. |
