I'm getting into some pulp gaming and wondered what yall think of the French P-16 armored car. Is it 'pulpy' enough? |

Ummmm the term pulp could have been designed for that! |

Oh, it's definitely pulpy! |

Hum, One such AFVs was purchased by the Spanish Republic in 1932 for testing purposes, with the aim to give some armour to their Cavalry. But in the end it was chosen the Bilbao Armoured Car --that very same assigned to the Guardia de Asalto police. That particular Citroën Kegresse was dispatched in Spanish Morocco, but I ignore its ultimate fate. Might it have been used by the Nationalists in 1936? I don't know. (BTW, who's producing this AFV, whatever the scale and material?) Cheers,

15mm Flames of War
1:56 Brigade Games and Company B. Another outfit makes it too but I can't remember them. And yes, it is pure pulp. |

@ spontoon- No I haven't. Have you? That would be interesting. |

Quality Castings makes a nice detailed one in their "small 15mm" scale. |

Its one of the few I have never seen in Wehrmacht colours. I am sure there are pictures out there… |

What about a Romfell? link |

Given the age of these vehicles they were by all accounts I've read already worn out by the time they were sent into action in 1940, and mechanical breakdowns were a source of loss for these feisty little beasties as much as enemy action. The same story applies IMHO to the Citroen-Kegresse softskin halftracks like the P17 and P19; old equipment of a condition that the GErmans found unacceptable for service. Now if it's the later Unic P107 or various SOMUA halftracks like the MCG 5 and such, the Germans were all over the ones they captured, as these were apparently quite robust and useful vehicles in their own right, and the Germans were many things in WW2, but when it came to perfectly useful captured equipment, they weren't silly.
