Tirailleurs Platoon
(FR742)
with one Command Rifle/MG team, one VB team, six Rifle/MG team, one Small base & seven Medium bases.

The state of the French troops in the Vichy Levant (the collective term given to French Syria and Lebanon) was not too dissimilar to mainland France. While the majority of troops was made up of locally raised Levantine conscripts, the Army of the Levant was stiffened with several well trained regiments of Moroccan, Senegalese, and Algerian troops.
Their premier troops, of course, were the three Legion battalions of the 6e Regiment de Légion Étrangère.

The Legion also provided the backbone of the invading Free French troops. The 13e Demi-Brigade de Légion Étrangère has served with the Free French since declaring loyalty to de Gaulle after the fall of France. The bulk of the Gaullist forces are also made up of native colonial troops many of whom joined after the earlier campaigns in Dakar, Gabon, and Eritrea.

Armed with the Châtellarault FM modèle 1924/29 light machine-gun, the teams in each Tirailleurs squads are rated as a Rifle/MG team.
The figures in the Tirailleurs Platoon can be used to represent French forces during the campaign in France (i.e. Blitzkrieg) or to represent a French force in Burning Empires. You can even mix and match in the Greatcoat figures to add a flavour to your infantry bases.
