Interwar games, probably pulp. There will be some action on the continent at some point, so a few interwar poilus might make a showing at some point.


I joined my gun with pirate swords, and sailed the seas of cyberspace.

hmmm
sounds interesting...
I would like to see some interwar sources where they actually wear helmets. The Riff war photos I recall never show any.
And miniatures with bonnet de police are really rare....

That's the French side-cap, correct? Maybe some American heads with greenstuff to extend the points? I'll probably just stick to the Adrians if I wind up using any French Military forces.

it's the french WW1 sidecap - scarab has a few with it. Yes it looks a bit american. Maybe Empress SCW gorillo heads with the tassle cut off....
the prewar one is called callot and looks more like the british sidecap.

I can't recall right now which one was used in interwar, maybe both

Also a good idea! But does Empress sell conversion heads? I didn't see any in their SCW stuff, but maybe I missed them?
