Osprey/Ambush Alley's Force on Force includes a TO&E for modern French forces. Do you have French in your modern forces? |

I have some Dadi & Piombo French, but I'm using them as part of the UNIT troops for Dr Who. |

Just picked up some from Eureka and Dadi & Piombo's (they match well in size) – great miniatures! TheGhost |

Not yet, perhaps later though. |
MiniPatton | 07 Feb 2012 9:44 p.m. PST |
Had some when I was doing 6mm stuff for Cold War, but not now as I have moved to 3mm and they are not available yet. |

We recently replaced the modern French infantry. |
GeoffQRF | 08 Feb 2012 4:04 a.m. PST |
There are currently 36,000 French troops deployed in foreign territories link link "When they do get into battles, they fight it out," observed U.S. Army Capt. Dave Disi, who has been on more than 35 missions with the French military. |

Sundance | 08 Feb 2012 6:10 a.m. PST |
I have Legion Etranger for action in Yerbouti, if that counts. |
GeoffQRF | 08 Feb 2012 6:24 a.m. PST |
Do you want our 15mm modern French in berets or caps? (They are currently in helmets) |
jdpintex | 08 Feb 2012 7:12 a.m. PST |
Fair amount of French Foreign Legion and equipment for AK47. |
Cosmic Reset | 08 Feb 2012 7:39 a.m. PST |
Absolutely, first modern force that I painted up. |
paulkit | 08 Feb 2012 8:14 a.m. PST |
Geoff, berets and caps would both be worth the effort. |

Patrick Sexton | 08 Feb 2012 9:03 a.m. PST |
Eureka FFL in both helmets and berets with a AMX10RC for support (from Quarter Kit). No VABs as of yet. Also have a decent sized French Union force for Indochina in 15mm, if that counts as Modern. |
shaun from s and s models | 08 Feb 2012 9:08 a.m. PST |
i have a french foriegn legion and army infantry both in 20mm. as a supplier of modern 20mm we sell a lot of french vehicles and infantry, it has been a very worth while range of models. |
Redroom | 08 Feb 2012 4:09 p.m. PST |
I have Peterpig FFL, would like to get some eureka FFL too. |
mckrok | 08 Feb 2012 6:23 p.m. PST |
Yep, primarily 6mm FFL. I was painting VLRAs and VBLs last week. I like the variety of units and equipment. The French are deployed across the world, so you can work them into a lot of scenarios: from Cold War tank smashes to African intervention to peacekeeping in the Balkans, etc
. I've worked with members of the French military on a number of occasions and have nothing but good things to say about them. mckrok |
Etranger | 08 Feb 2012 7:44 p.m. PST |
Lots of 15mm French for Indochina, if something that happened 60 years ago counts as modern
|
Chuckaroobob | 08 Feb 2012 9:36 p.m. PST |
I have a bunch in 15mm, troops and vehicles, mostly QRF. Have about 50-100 in 25mm, mostly Eureka and D&P. Only vehicles are 4 VBL's. |
