Fall of France Dragons Portés

[lou passejaire]

coming soon from Crusader Miniatures :



a quite complete range of French Dragons Motocyclistes  ...
they can be used for any dismounted French motorcycle unit in 1940 .

Just missing the motorbikes , or some light civilian cars to carry them .
( after the Journey in Belgium who ended in the Dunkirk failure, due to the lack of motorbikes with sidecars, open toped civilian cars were used )



i asked for a 25mm AT gun crew, a generic artillery crew, and motorbikes with side cars , Gnome Rhone, Terrot or Indian chief .

Release february ...

They look great and a long-awaited addition.

Will they add VB launchers as per your FB discussion?

I sent a OOB of the Dragons to Nick ... so i hope Mark Sims will add some to the range ... and a 25mm crew
My main concern is the great number of SMG ...
Very few SMG were in use in the 1940 French Army , mostly in the road regulation units, armoured vehicles crew ... mostly seized Spanish stuff .

The perfect units to use them, with the SMG are the Groupes Francs Motorisés created after Dunkirk, from surviving Dragons units , with what's avaible as weapons and vehicles ... we have no army files about those units, except individual accounts and brief unit diaries  ...

The full monty :









That Hotchkiss MMG looks awfully small to me though.

a VB grenade Launcher set will be released in the future ... and it seem's that we have a chance to see Motorcycle with side car coming from North Star ...

[Arlequín]

Non-German Motorcycle combinations? What heresy is this? 

This must be stopped before it gets out of hand, next it will be mythical French paratroops!

i made a dream : next one; spahi cavalry range , complete with 37mm gun, and dismounted models ...

[Arlequín]

I would like to see some Infantry without the capote. Of course non-desert colonial troops would always be welcome too.

[lou passejaire]

infantry and gun crew without capote and backpack will be a pure dream ...

even the sniper carry his backpack in the warlord range ...
