Hi

I was looking for French sailors, early WW2, and seeing that their uniform regs were unchanged for a long time I was wondering if the:-

FPW12 - French Sailors

Looked like this:-


ie with the cherry cupcake hat, landing party webbing, trousers with or without gaiters ,with or without backpack.

Thanks for any info.

Cheers

Hello Dour Puritan

Yes they do, French sailors feature in my FPW winter army.

Thank you for the reply, the figures would be useful for such things as the Boxer Rebellion as well. Now I just need to get a Bagad band -

even though it didn't start until the 1940/50s, it'd still look great

Cheers

Glad to have been able to help on that one. I've picked up quite a bit of info on the FPW since I started gaming it in tne late 70s. Pendraken 10mm was the first real opportunity to get into the Republican phase though, although I am now building up the Imperials (also great for 1859 and the Crimea). Going to have a real good crack at Spicheren now that I have been able to get a copy of Henderson's study, which has finally been reprinted. Ascoli's A Day of Battle is also a goldmine for Mars la Tour (and to a lesser extent Gravelotte - St Privat). It is an excellent handbook for walking the battlefield just outside Metz.

I have to agree, having toured the battlefields, Ascoli is amazing!
