	This gun had been designed in 1932, and was initially rejected by the French Army. This gun is provided with armour-piercing rounds and is used in a dual-purpose role. Every division is supposed to have an anti-aircraft defence battery of six 25mm guns and many divisions had received their allocations by the time of the German invasion.

Guns on Turntables Some guns, mostly anti-aircraft guns, are mounted on turntables allowing them to turn in any direction. Gun teams on Turntables can fire in any direction.

Who Can Shoot Shooting at aircraft requires a special anti-aircraft mounting to allow the weapon to shoot at high angles and rotate rapidly to track fast-moving aircraft. Only weapons with the Anti-aircraft, Heavy Antiaircraft, or Self-defence Anti-aircraft attribute can fire at Aircraft. Anti-aircraft weapons that are still being towed by or carried as Passengers in Transport vehicles cannot shoot at Aircraft. Anti-aircraft weapons must have a Line of Sight and be within Range to shoot at Aircraft. Any teams that shoot at Aircraft can’t move At the Double, Dig In, Shoot or Assault in their next turn. Any weapons (other than Self-defence Anti-aircraft weapons) that shoot at Aircraft cannot conduct Defensive Fire if assaulted later in this turn.
