Mike Owen is currently very busy with his brand new 2nd Afghan war range, but should he ever consider returning to colonial French subjects, there are a few essential items he has yet to cover :
* Spahis - there's currently a dearth of those on the market and the few existing figures aren't that great - I'm thinking of the Askari figures here
* Gun crews in colonial infantry uniforms - no guns needed as there already are plenty of 75's around and Brigade Games does the M1906 65mm mountain gun.
* Legion/colonial infantry machine guns - Sidi Bou Othman would not be the same without them.
* More opposition for the French to blow to smithereens as they don't have much of a crowd to fight at the mo'. There was talk of Moroccan cavalry and a full Tuareg range well over a year ago but these seem to have become lost in limbo.
Note to self : drop Nick Eyre an e-mail and submit the grocery list above to him, in the event Mike might still be in the mood to add to the March or Die range.
i totaly agree with your list! particularly
-spahis ( horse and foot in my dreams !!)
- berbères cavalry (in marocco and south western algeria (the two main theatres with FFL) there were not so much tuaregs )
machine gun for FFL and tirailleur (algerian not senegalese) ( hotchkiss MG would be better as they were in test in 1905-10 in algeria and marocco)
-gun crew in colonial dress with mule train !
best regards
