Re: FFL Artillery

I did not quite understand the meaning of your sentence. What do you mean by that?

Re: FFL Artillery

I think that then the rest of the production will concern the artillery of the Rif rebels? Isn'nt it? :+1:

Re: FFL Artillery

Truly gratefull for this set. A long awaited dream fulfilled. Now just FFL with mules and horses and a couple of wagon drivers. And if you want to make us happy beyond belief: a couple of sets with Spanish cavalry and infantry for the RIF war. Thanks Strelets you manage to light up this dark period.

Re: FFL Artillery

Another superb set ("must buy" for me too) with very good looking figures, covering a very special theme!!
Well done Strelets!!

Re: FFL Artillery

Last Friday a French Foreign Legionaire unfortunately died in Mali combating jihadists. That is why FFL are my heroes. They merit a set from each era: Mexico 1864, WWI, WWII, Indo China Dien Bien Phu and modern. FFL through the ages series. Mon Dieu!!!

Re: FFL Artillery

More expense....

Re: FFL Artillery

Another new FFL set !
Very original and filling a gap in the range.

THANK YOU STRELETS !

March or Die.

Re: FFL Artillery

Thanks, great news

Re: FFL Artillery

We continue to be treated by Strelets with such marvellous, rapidly produced sets. It is a joy to visit the website/forum to see what teasers or production sets are being featured.

Re: FFL Artillery

While not my thing I will get a box as it is an unusual subject - not one of the usual subjects. Should be an attractive model to paint.

Keep producing subjects that other companies are not prepared to attempt!

Re: FFL Artillery

I agree another nice set. Forgive my ignorance but what is the gun?

Re: FFL Artillery

Hallo,

i think the gun is a french "Canon de 65 M (montagne) modele 1906".

A gun developed before World War 1, specially for the use in montanious areas. Therefore the gun could easy be taken into pieces, so that mules can transport the gun-parts. :snow_capped_mountain:

Another item to add to my wish list. If you create some of the other French colonial units I may need to get a second job. :grinning:
Some great ones in sets now!,but would like some cavalry , pack animals ,supply troops ,medical,
Agree on spanish ones or saphis plus some extra arabs.

Stay well strelets and everyone else

Re: FFL Artillery

Just an idea:

There are some nice mules in the old Airfix-Set of German Mountain Troops (WW II)...

If you like to build an FFL-Artillery-Uni this mules can be helpful...:
