French Resistance Support Group

French Resistance Support Group

The German occupation of France was resisted by the Maquis - the famous French Resistance. Led by former officers or charismatic local leaders, these brave men and women fought desperate guerrilla actions that were critical in disrupting German forces during the Battle for Normandy. Members of the French Resistance risked everything for the chance to fight back against their Nazi oppressors.

Allied paratroopers supplied the French Resistance with invaluable heavier weaponry such as the Vickers medium machine gun and 3-inch mortar, both included in this set.

The miniatures in this set represent the partisans of the French Forces of the Interior (FFI), but are equally suitable for most resistance forces, whether in Poland, the Soviet Union or many other countries living under the heel of Germany's boot.

The box contains:

• HQ team
• 1 medium mortar team
• 1 MMG team
• German weapons sprue in plastic
• Plastic bases

Models are supplied unassembled and unpainted.
