The Fighting French!
In this week's update we bring you nine spotlights,
briefings and links for you to enjoy. |
Kampfgruppen Von Koenen:
Under Review
In December 1942, British, American and Free French forces were closing in on the Axis forces in Tunisia from the west, while Montgomery’s Eighth Army pushed from the east. The German command needed to inflict decisive defeats on these forces before they could join up and permanently push them out of North Africa.

Tirailleurs 75mm Artillery Battery (FRX07)
The quick firing 75mm mle 1897 is considered to be one of the most
rapidfiring artillery pieces in existence and despite seeing service in
two World Wars its bombardments can be devastating to infantry caught in
the open.

Tirailleurs Heavy Artillery Battery (FRX08)
French divisions usually mixed a light artillery regiment with the 75mm
mle 1897 with a smaller regiment of heavier 105mm or 155mm howitzers.
Their central fire control enabled them to combine the fire of both
elements to produce devastating combined bombardments.

Legionnaire Sapper Platoon (FR746)
While the French army of the Napoleonic wars were well supported by
Sapper units, during the 19th century these specialists gradually
disappeared except in the Legion.

Laffly S15TOE (FR320)
In 1934, Laffly developed an armoured car in for use in the French
Colonies or TOE (Théâtre d'Opération pour Exterior). The design was
based on the Laffly S15 artillery tractor; armour plate up to 7mm thick
was mounted on the body, covering the engine and driver compartment. The
rear of the vehicle was made up of a truck bed which could be used to
transport either men or equipment.

Libyan Fucilieri Platoon (IT752)
In 1940 the bulk of the Italian infantry in Libya and on the Egyptian
frontier was made up of colonial troops recruited from the native
population of Libya. These native Libyans hadn’t experienced truly
modern war before, were hindered by logistics problems, and were
commanded by officers whose ideas hadn’t changed since World War One.

Oberstleutnant Dr. Franz Bäke (GE894)
By 1944 Oberstleutnant Dr. Franz Bäke was one of the most capable and
experienced front-line panzer commanders in the German Army.

Huszár Platoon (HU708)
The Huszárs have always been Hungary’s elite and have the traditions of
hundred’s of years of warfare behind them. However, they are a
thoroughly modern fighting force. They are equally at home fighting on
horseback or on foot and are supported by machine-guns, mortars,
anti-tank guns and their own pioneers. Mounted they are equals to any
cavalry or infantry force in the field, and on foot they defend with
stubborn determination.

Stepping Up To Version Three
With the arrival of Version 3, lots of existing players are asking the obvious question: ‘What’s changed?’.
To answer this question, I’ve written this document as a quick summary
of the changes between the old and new versions. It is aimed squarely at
existing gamers, so it doesn’t make any attempt to explain how the
existing rules work. Rather it focuses on what has changed.

provide PDF versions of the Third Edition Quick Reference sheets for you
to download.
