Hey, does anyone have stats for French weapons and guns for Battleground WW2, for early war.
evbates	29 Oct 2023 9:14 a.m. PST
Are you looking for tank charts, at-guns/artillery or infantry weapons? I have 16 tank charts and a French Codex for point system.
evbates	29 Oct 2023 9:29 a.m. PST
Just went through all my Battleground files and books no stats for the French except their tanks. I think they did not do much for them because they were taken out so early in the war.
Irish Marine	29 Oct 2023 9:45 a.m. PST
Yes, just the infantry and anti-tanks, and mortars

Forget 1940. Go for when the French were actually winning. For Free French use US or British figures.

I just need stats not figures

The rules were reverse engineered from ASL so that might be of help to look at ASL stats.

What's ASL?

French infantry weapon stats, but I can't find troop lists: link

SBminisguy, thanks for the link, I didn't see rifles and machine guns, do you have those?

I have some charts I downloaded back in 2006 and no longer know the source. Here's the info for: Squad level "LMG" (Pre-MG) ROF=3 PB=0-3" Eff=4-18" Long=19-27" Ext=28-45" Rifle ROF=1 PB=0-3" Eff=4-9" Long=10-18" Ext=19-45" Support MMG ROF=4 PB=0-3" Eff=4-24" Long=25-54" Ext=55-113" I used these for 20mm figures.

@evbates Did you ever move to a cloud or Dropbox format? You sent me the motherload CD of homebrewed vehicles years ago but I am positive that I've somehow managed to lose it. I'd love to be able to download the tank tables again.

No Achtung I have not.
