Narvik 1940
« on: August 07, 2014, 01:30:16 PM »
Here are my FFL french for Narvik 1940. This is a Bolt actio army as follow :

-a captain with two soldiers
-three combats groups (historical organisation : 12 men with a LMG and VB greande luncher in each)
-a skieur scout combat group (those in white over suit)
-25mm AT gun
-75mm gun
-three H39 tanks with SA 1918 canon (this is historical)
-two 81mm mortars









I'm just waiting for MG hotchkiss from Gorgon and perhaps mortars ? and i immediatly will change mine !

For more photos and english text follow my blog :

I hear the heads of the belgians are removable, maybe You can convert the regular french with the tartes from the belgians?

Dans les situations critiques, quand on parle avec un calibre bien en pogne, personne ne conteste plus. Y'a des statistiques là-dessus.

a tank company ( 342th CACC ) of 15 hotchkiss h39 was in Norway . They saw the first combat landing of world war 2 .
3 tanks were destroyed





the 12 remaining tanks later saw action in Gabon and Syria with the Free French
