Eureka 28mm French Foreign Legion (Completed 9 Oct 12)

[tim in saskatoon]

I'm tempted with Kolwezi etc, Anybody know of figures for that sort of era?

In 28mm? Not that I know of.

I picked up some 20mm French in the early 1990s that had FAMAS rifles, helmets or berets, but no body army and fairly light equipment. They'd be good for Beirut or maybe Chad.... probably long gone... can't even remember the name of the company.

I just started playing Force on Force on force myself. It's looking very promising!

Huh... I have not seen any youtube videos (I will have to go look). Is it a camouflage thing? Or maybe, if they're light coloured sheets, an attempt to reflect the heat of the sun to keep it from getting frightfully hot inside...?

I'm. Not sure what it is about, but the thing to keep in mind when playing FoF is you must use real fire discipline.  The French Squads (as we would call them) are split into two groups.  One 300mtr and the other 600mtr. Close combat is not an option.  The VABs engage at up to 2000mtrs with pin point accuracy.  Search on YouTube for French troops in Afghanistan.

I have found using FoF that concentration of fire will always do the job.  Thirty insurgents all firing at the same half squad will cause casualties
