I had an opportunity to get to the painting table over the past couple of days and I am happy to report that the French WW II army is complete! Although there are rumors that my Christmas stocking might include a couple of reinforcements. We will have to wait until tomorrow to find out.
There are a total of 75 figures, two guns, and two vehicles in the force. Here are a few pictures of what is painted to date.

| The Foreign Legion specific forces. Three squads, medium ATG (47mm) and a 2LT. |

| Close-up of one of the squads. Each squad has a SGT with SMG, LMG and five Rifles. |
 |
| Medium ATG. This is a French 47mm Anti-tank Gun. Considered one of the best weapons of the early years of the war. Note the Fusilier Marins gunner that is part of the crew. In the background is a Renault R35 light tank. Not technically part of this Foreign Legion unit, but definitely one of the support weapons of my overall French Army. |
I think it is a pretty Balanced and colorful force. Not your usual French Army. I can't wait to get it on the gaming table and see how they fight!
