French Army Infantry WWII Plastic Model Kit - Warlord Games Bolt Action

World War II began with the French army being hailed as the most powerful in the world. Their tanks and artillery were top-notch, and the infantry divisions were numerous and confident in their abilities to take on the German forces once again. However, the reality of the war was different, as the French infantry found themselves facing German armored units that outmaneuvered them during the Blitzkrieg across Europe. Despite the tactical disadvantage, the French soldiers fought bravely for the honor of France and their regiments.

The French put up a valiant resistance against the German invaders at battles like Hannut, Arras, Boulogne, and Saumur. Some Frenchmen even continued to fight alongside Vichy France, earning both admiration and criticism. Others joined with the Allies in 1944 to liberate their homeland from the German occupation.

This versatile plastic boxed set allows you to build miniatures representing various units of the French Army, such as regular infantry, fortress troops, chasseurs à pied, engineers, or colonial troops from Algeria, Morocco, or Tunisia. The box includes 30 multi-pose plastic infantry with bases and a full color waterslide decal sheet.

Players can recreate World War II battles on tabletops using dice, model troops, tanks, and the rules of Bolt Action. Both sides must have painted model troops representing their respective armies, and battles unfold according to twelve specific scenarios that dictate deployment and victory conditions.

Playing tabletop war games allows players to immerse themselves in a small part of one of the most significant conflicts in history. The process of building and painting the models adds an extra layer of enjoyment to the game itself. So, challenge your opponents, showcase your strategic skills, and relive the epic battles of World War II in a fun and interactive way!
