"French Civil War 1920's-30's." Topic

I posted on the inerwar board but forgot to crosspost. Anyone ever think about 1930's French Civil War or paint figures? I am interested in any background or faction thoughts? I think it can be much more interesting then ABCW.

I found the following pictures of a game about half way down page anyone have any info on background or uniforms?

Great Photo's!!

Which way does the FFL go? Is the Maginot Line partially done? Are there Expatriate battalions? Gatsby's Guerrilla's, anyone? The Chronicles of Rick…(Bogart in Paris). White Russian Enclaves versus Reds, It'll be like 'everybody into the pool'-Euro style.

How much of WWI devastation is left?

Nice looking game and great idea

I suspect French regular army plus various militas

What side do you see the regular army, legion being on?

Interesting questions. I never imagined that a VFCW was playable. It could be a political minefield to discuss between French wargamers! but we are amongst intelligent people :-)

What would the regular army have done? probably split into factions. A number of officers were royalists/conservative Catholics (especially in the cavalry, and in France the tanks are cavalry); but some others were not. Depending on the areas, a large part of the soldiers doing compulsory military service could have been influenced by antimilitarist ideas. Soldiers from urban/industrial areas could be left-influenced and those from rural areas right-influenced (although this is not always true, some areas had different political backgrounds!) Early 20th century "radicalism" (which then meant opposition to the influence of the Catholic Church) was still a strong political force; socialism/communism was growing. WWI veterans could enlist in different factions, some of them formed the basis of the "ligues fascistes" but other were leftists.
