Looking for 15mm French rifle grenadier figures

[bobwithasilentc]

Hi everyone,

I recently picked up a bunch of Battlefront French desert troops second-hand for Flames of War. However, I have just discovered that one of the tirailleurs platoons is missing the VB team (rifle grenadiers) that are supposed to accompany the rifle bases. Battlefront don't appear to sell these figures separately from their platoon packs.

Does anyone know where I could pick up either some individual Battlefront figures, or if there are any other manufacturers that make 15mm French desert troops that I could try for some rifle grenade figures?

Cheers,

Andrew

Forged in Battle do 15mm French.
Not sure what they have though, but they will supply loose figures (we got some Poles to fill a gap in our lists).
Haven't seen the French, but the Poles and Germans are excellent sculpts, far better than Flames of War figures.

Thanks fastolfrus - I'll check them out.

Axis & Allies also do a French VB grenadier, Ebay has them from time to time. Comes painted but needs a re-paint for your Tirailleurs.
