Greetings, I've been on and off searching for WWI French with helmets in 15mm scale for quite some time. I recently discovered the line from Blue Moon Manufacturing, but it does not look like there are infantry with VB rifle grenades or infantry with chauchat LMGs. Does anyone here know if the infantry packs from Blue moon have them, or if there are any other manufacturers? |

The Chauchat gunner looks to be part of the heavy weapons pack. I don't know about VB grenadiers but it looks like there is someone with a rifle in the correct position in that pack as well: link Minifigs has a Chauchat gunner in 15mm, firing from hip which was common practice with this predecessor of the assault rifle:

For the longest the most complete line of 15mm World War One was Minifig. They had trench fighters packs. however I do not rememebr the rifle-grenade launcher. I do rememebr the LMG as shown but it had much greater detail in the packs that I sold. |

Rudy, That casting does not look like it came from a factory, either. Agree that the true Minifigs have MUCH better detail! (This casting is too shiny and the Chauchat has been modified. As you know, I've casted thousands of them! Other than that, Robert's helpful info is correct. v/r

Welp, I'm blind, I didn't notice that guy in the Heavy pack. I can easily fudge a VB rifle grenade as it's just a cylinder on the end of a rifle. |

I'm fairly certain that the Minifig trench raider set 10WF has a grenade launcher. |

Peter Pig does VB grenadiers for WWII, uniform not much different. |
