Forces françaises de l'intérieur (FFI)

FFI

These are plastics by Caesar set H006 - Underground Resisters (Partisans) 

I bought these ages back with the plan to expand my Volkssturm, but they have sat in a draw for ages because first off my Volkssturm project became buried by other projects I was working on and second I wasn`t really happy (as always) with the mix of weapons - too many SMGs (MP40s in this case) and only 3 figures with rifles.

Anyway after reading Paddy Ashdown`s book "The Cruel Victory", read my review here:

I started thinking about adding some FFI into my Free French forces. 

These may never see tabletop, but you never know, the gem of an idea is forming 😁

Figure No3 has a Raventhorpe Adrian helmet head
Figure 2 has had his MP40 pruned away and a slung rifle added
All together - this photo includes a wagon driver (front right)

  1. Very nice. I have the same figures together with Irregular Miniatures for my to-be Battle of Vercors. Need some extra vehicles like yours now :)

  2. Cheers João, I`m not sure I`ll be aiming as high as recreating Vercors, but I do have the seed of an interesting game germinating. As for figures i was thinking I could re-use some of my SCW militia as Marqui too.
