When I began researching which army to choose in my first foray into WW2 wargaming with 28mm figures, I was surprised to read about the amount of fighting that took place between the Allies and the Vichy French in North Africa and the Middle East. Often French were even fighting French. Zut alors, there was my army choice – French who could fight on either side!

And what exotic troops I could take: the Foreign Legion, Moroccan Spahis, Senegalese Tirailleurs … along with weird and wonderful transports and armour.

This posting from my On Parade! series on my blog, in which I'm slowly reviewing every figure in my wargaming collection, features my WW2 colonial French army:

Arteis02 Great idea! Many times our collections end up in storage with no record of who the manufacturer was or how many figures we actually have.
