Hi

I finally finished yesterday my 620 points French late war army !...

The field artillery (66 points) :

98% Peter Pig (the two Schneider tanks models are from Irregular), a few headswaps.

The Square Bashing list is n°20. The 155mm quick firing howitzer is an Irregular model too ; not taken in account except if playing the "20bis" list, "Armée d'orient", in which case it replaces the heavy tanks (50 points), adding a squadron of Spahis (18 + 32 points).

Superb work !

My bolcheviks are looking forward to meet your "Armée d'orient" (20bis" in the army list - The Mill #10) in a game, like in "Capitaine Conan" movie...  :) ;)

What a superb looking army. AQOTWF is the first film where I have actually see large French tanks in action (my mate keeps telling me to get down to the Loire and visit the tank museum). The film clip looked very interesting as well.

Thank you all for your kind messages  8)

Martin, I have however a request ; unless I am mistaken, none of the French army lists for Square Bashing allows the possibility of flamethrowers, although there is a flamethrower team pack (220) in the Peter Pig French WW1 range?...???
