A nice firework display !

You've obviously never had a flare shot at you!

Story from our RSM - on riot control duty they were issued with only trace ammunition. Theory was that it was non- lethal - WRONG ! Rioter with machete charged him, he fired at close range, apparently the target glowed for some considerable time.

As to firing flares at people, they are low velocity and inaccurate, so you should be able to dodge easy.

The French Foreign Legion could do with

Gun crew - a  number of artillery pieces available would do as proxies 
Loaded mules  with various loads including guns and machine guns
Some mounted infantry

They would be useful

Possibly, but you would probably put a hell of a lot of effort into it...

10, 9 & 7!

More infantry and support for the Foreign Legion plus fitting adversaries would certainly be something I would be interested in.

At this moment I'm looking into useful figures for an early ACW scenario like 1st Manassas. Troops in frock coats with kepis or shakos, fringed epaulettes, cross- and waistbelt etc. Also troops wearing kepis in havelocks and battleshirts would be welcome!
I just ordered some from other ranges to see if they will do but I see a few omissions looming.

Cheers,

Might as well mention that missing 6pdr - very useful for most 61, 62 and early 63 plus western theatre scenarios.

For WW1 there are lot of artillery pieces, particularly early war that are hard to find in any scale.  If this was addressed I'd be interested in 10mm 1914/15.

203 mm howitzer M1931 (B-4) - aka  "Stalin's Sledgehammer"

Used by the Russians in WW2 and reintroduced by the Ukrainians in 2015!

There is the mountain gun on mule NW11 from the NW Frontier range



Wouldn't the early WW1 French artillery crew in kepi be a proxy for FFL crew?  Can't find a pic, sorry.

What about some of the South American Pacific War troops, SAP12 Mounted on mule, kepi, havelock, carbine?



Cheers
