I decided to continue with any displacement activity which let me avoid starting to paint my Triple Alliance ships for Riuchello. Hence, we have more French for 1940. The 507e Regiment Char de Combat (507 BCC) was one of the best trained armoured units in the French army, having until the previous year been commanded by a certain Charles de Gualle. As such it was considered 'elite'.
 |
| The new additions - five Char 2D tanks, worn out, mechanically unreliable and obsolete but they were to give a good account of themselves in May 1940. |
 |
| A close up. I have only used five AFVs for the 507e as almost all of their tanks were lost thrugh breakdowns rather than enemy action. |
 |
| Another close up - I am really taken with French camouflage patterns. |
 |
| A Laffley truck with a 47mm AT gun. I've not seen these in any order of battle but I will add this one to the already completed model to make a SP AT company of sorts. |

My French civilian omnibus taken into military service. A lovely resin model.

These can go and join their compatriots in barracks under the table until such time as I manage to get a Fall of France game organised! Now, what other displacement activity can I do....?
