I was hoping for a general concensus… You all play a lot more than me and I dont have time to be playtesting.
:?
there’s not a general concensus. Many opinions vary on USA income and Russia.
What Scupts to use for France
-
Where is the one with the white flag?
-
top left, however the one with the trench coat next to him would be neat
yah the french infantry needs to be wearing a trenchcoat.

And why do they need to be wearing a trenchcoat?

Because they dig trenches.

the trenchcoats are iconic of WWI and 1940 french infantry.

Yes but this is a WWII game.

@Army:

Thanks Robert E. Lee. I missed that.**

Damn, someone beat me to it!
I like scuplt 3 with the soldier running and gun ready.
-
no axis and allies sculpts have the soldier actually aiming his gun, so im assuming the french piece wont either
-
How about sculpt #1, but add a trench coat.
-
im leaning towards bottom row, second mold
has a trench coat, iconic helmet, and gun at the shoulder, almost like the Japanese infantry. (who also has his gun up) -
How about the middle row to the far right. It has the trenchcoat and it shows the weapon about as high as they actually raised it.
-
how about the one w. no helmet, he is about to surrender??? :-D…I know NOT funny… :x
since the Frenchies best tank was the Char B1 ( I like the SOMUA S35 better)I would go w. the Japanese tank, it looks like the closest…How about the Italian Tank?..is it gonna be a Carro Armato P 40?..
-
I think the french inf should be like the Italian ones. Unarmed, and flipping you off.

I japanese tanks do not look anything like french tanks. Japanese tanks are really light, while the CharB1 was about the heavist tank on the battleifld in 1940 with a 75mm howitzer. I think the matilda would be fine, but also think the somua looks a lot like the t34.
Somua 35
T-34
Type 95 HaGo

we are talking 'bout the sculpts right?!..and I don’t think they make an extra one for france just because…so I was thinking for the sculpts allready out there in service, that Japanese one would be the closest call…but hey your right on the rest, Char B1’s and Soumas and T34 were given the Germans a very hard time…the 3.7mm anti-tank gun couldn’t penetrade their armor…later on the called that gun army knock knock device >1:1 translated< :-D
-
FMG will probably make a sculpt for french tanks.

Yah, I am just saying that the somua s35 looks alot like the t-34 and nothing like the Type95HaGo, so the t34 should be the mold used for french tanks.

What needs to stand out on the French tank is two things.
It has to look like its from the 30’s. Fit that style etc.
It also has to have a small looking main weapon. Most French tanks didnt go over 75mm guns, or even get close to that number.
The Italian and Japanese tank molds fit that style more than the…
German Tank - An Icon of WWII
US Tank - An Icon of WWIIAnd the other two tanks look too heavy set and rugged
USSR Tank - The T-34 Monster (although it is in a 30’s style)
UK Tank - Near 1940’s Style, and a big looking tank.The French tank has to look inadiquite and small. The french doctrine was to use Tanks like cavalry, but that isnt their true purpose, yet there are similarities. The French Tanks were nimble, but too small to breaktrough. They were used to flank german formations, but since the german formations they encountered were tanks themselves, the french were out gunned. The french put their big guns on the Maginot line, in bunkers…tanks that were to big to move. And they split the difference with light tanks.
Armored warfare is not one of extremes, it requires a solid tank, well rounded speed, armor, weaponry. Because tanks are most usefull in formations on their own, with mechinized infantry support sprinkled in.
