They look really good, I also like the mud :)

The MG bases are difficult to blend into the basing but a bit more basing material would probably help. Better blending of those bases and a few other figures would really improve the overall look :-\

What rules are they based for?

More good stuff.

I'm interested in the colour of the 75s, I've only researched early war French so far, and their guns were a darker blue/grey, I've not seen this very light shade.
