Franco-Thai War

[Viper4Dan]

In order to provide the 5th French Foreign Legion a little support, I took a Warlord Games Belgian Anti-tank Rifle team and game them heads from Empress Miniatures British.

My Thais needed some armor. I've cut up part of a Warlord Games Polish 7PT tank to create the Thai Vickers 6-ton. Now, this is truly Siamese 'Evy Metal!

it's a pity, Michael will release next month the whole Vichy french infantry range for Syria, and alternative french sun helmet heads ... ( Michael from Michael and Alan Perry  )

Lots of cool figures.
Look forward to seeing them in play.
You should have some interesting battles.

I teach in Thailand. If my students are anything to go by, your rules need special provision for half the army's failing to obey orders since they're chatting to their buddies, and at least a quarter's forgetting to load their weapons before firing.
My wife (who is Thai) says the figures above are too generous, btw.

Isn't that most armies, really?

Let's put it this way: have they won a war since the days of King Narasuan the Great?

I just finished a few of my FFL support units. In this case, my trusty FT-17, and a light machine gun unit, accompanied by my bespectacled FO, "Sparks" DuBois! The FT-17 is by Warlord Games. The lmg is an Artizan figure with an Empress Miniatures head swap. My FO is one of Bob Murch's Pulp Miniatures with a Commando Miniatures radio.

The lmg team and FO.

The wait for delivery was long, but it was worth it. I finally finished my Mad Bob Laffly 50 AM to support the French Foreign Legion in Indochina. It may not be much by 1940 European standards, but it will definitely make you the coolest kid in Cambodia at this time.

Two more views....

Great looking project and nice to see one of the less well known areas of the period getting a look in!
Thanks

I'm slowly adding to the collection here. First up, a Thai light machine gun section. Secondly, roads were scarce in this theatre of operations (and still are in many places today!), so quite often, more "traditional" ways of moving supplies were put into place.

[Viper4Dan]

When in doubt, use an elephant to move supplies about!
