'Resistance' by StuartL: The Free French

Hi all,

Work has been keeping me very, very busy, but I have managed to get a few minis done in time for this bonus round. 

A couple of years ago I painted up half a squad of Free French. Now, I have finished up the other half. 

While the common image is that the French surrendered early on in WW2, the truth is that some of them kept fighting through to the end of the war. They were equipped with old French gear, then some British equipment and finally some American uniforms. These brave men fought to resist the Germans, even after their home country had been conquered. If that doesn't embody resistance, I don't know what does.

These models are a mix of different makers. I know I bought a lot of Warlord minis for this army, but I also bought from two or three other ranges as well, so I can't say for sure where these minis came from. They were easy to paint up though. Nice, crisp details all round.

    And here are both the new minis and the old ones I did in 2023.

   Five 28mm scale infantry will earn me 25 points, plus the 50 for the bonus round for a nice 75 points for my tally. They also qualify for a quick Squirrel.
