Desperate need for French Infantry.

Surely any generic figures with a big white flag would cover the essentials?

As I understand it when the French had good leadership on the ground they performed well against the Germans. I know that in one instance at least French armour gave German armour a rough time. I also think, given the tricky times that we now live in, that constantly denigrating our near neighbours is pretty pointless. Then again, I'm of the opinion that UKIP are a bunch of tossers and attempts by certain northern Britons to turn a small country into two even smaller countries is also senseless in the modern world.

Mmm, the battle of Pavia, 1525, wasn't it? Anyway, I'm in a country which on any planetary scale certainly doesn't rate France as a "near neighbour", to my sorrow, since I've just been trying to buy some decent croissants for the morrow's breakfast.

Stonne (1940) comes to mind
