Very nice to see a different part of WW11 being fought.

The French army as I understand it, was the largest in the field but managed appallingly by its generals and politicians alike.

Happy modelling,

My understanding is that the French had a fundamentally defensive approach and could not cope with the mobility of their German opponents. They sat in giant fortresses as the Germans went right around them.

German vehicles and figures are from FtF with only a few exceptions from IBG (World at War).
