This star team of the Death Fields circuit brings it’s A game to every match with their battle cry: “Vive la France!” When the rules of the games allow they are able to field heavy support weapons and specialists to give them the edge that will mean the difference between sweet victoire or shameful defeat.

This box set includes enough parts to build 6 28mm weapons with 12 figures that can act as both crew and command. Options include: tri-barell cannon, quad ball turret, heavy plasma weapon, and mortar. Specialist troops like snipers, medics, communication specialists, standard bearers and field officers can also be built. Along with all the existing head options for Les Grognards, this box set includes four new female head types.

There are three main sprues as seen above and also two head sprues so that you can outfit every figure in the box with any type of open or gasmask version of the four types of headgear: Adrian helmet, shako, bearskin, or kepi. 

All parts in this set are also compatible with the Les Grognards infantry box to give you even more poses and options.

Huge number of parts!

This is an incredible kit with so many options. I scratchbuilt some tripods and used up all the weapons too. Command options are great as well. Highly recommended!

deserves a four star, but there's a glaring problem (see my point #2) that needs called out.

overall, i'm happy with buying these. they'll do just fine for what i need. the models look great. you get three sprues, each one builds a wheeled cart and a tripod, and one of each weapon type to put on them. really, just awesome models for the price. and you even get the bits to make a command squad thrown in, basically for free. but...

there's just a couple things worth mentioning.

1) build instructions. usually, for basic infantry, this really isnt that big a deal and i dont mind that Wargames Atlantic leaves it out to cut costs. but there's a few pieces here that i really had to analyze the stock photos on the box for a while before i figured out where it was supposed to go. my suggestion would be to use the back of the box to show some basic diagrams or alternate views of the models, so its easier to tell what goes where.

2) the inclusion of the command squad is great. honestly, they're basically just free bonus bits when buying the weapon teams. so i want to give full-marks A++ for their inclusion. except, their inclusion is kind of a cop-out. what you might not realize (and they've cleverly worded the box description so that you'd probably assume incorrectly) is that you can choose to build the command squad INSTEAD of making a crew for the guns. each sprue gives you four sets of legs (two squatting, one sitting, one standing). so if you want to build a command squad, most of your weapon 'teams' need to go without a spotter. thats really annoying. again, the inclusion of the bits here at all is generous. its awesome that ive got some extra medkits and radio packs (and even a bottle of wine, with glass!) now, but i cant put them on anyone from this box because i built everyone as weapon teams. maybe just rename the product to "command squad OR heavy support"? or better yet, include one extra mini-sprue of legs/torsos instead of giving me all these heads. like seriously, there are DOUBLE the amount of heads needed already on the main sprue. then they throw in some extra mini sprues totalling SIXTY-THREE extra heads. that's more heads than id need for an entire army...in _one_ tertiary kit. i know you want to give people options but i'd rather have bodies that allow me to actually build whats advertised on the box. if people want access to these heads so bad, sell a bundle of them alone for like $10 instead of throwing them away in these kits for free.

3) not even a complaint really, but worth mentioning. weirdly, there's a bit used in the official photo on the box that isnt included on the sprue. if you look at the photo on the box art, there are two distinct 'windows'. one surrounding the tri-barrel and the other on the plasma weapon. but the second 'window' bit doesnt exist. each sprue only has one and its the window thats only open on one side. the window thats slightly open on both sides doesnt exist. kind of a shame, because i would've liked to have built all my weapons with that window.

Great kit, needs a better parts guide

Absolutely loving putting this kit together, its my first wargaming model kit. The only thing I'm stumbling over is I really wish there was a detailed written guide of what thing on the sprue is what. For example, one of the torsos is leaning forward and it seems to be the only one that lets the handles of the ball turret line up right. There seems to be no indication of this except careful examination and trial and error. a simple pdf of a picture of the sprue and some labels like "torso a, torso b, etc" would go a long way.

Perfect

Very useful kit

Nice kit, was handy that the bottoms and tops could be interchanged on the heavy weapons, although unless you built some as the quad cannon there are not quite enough bodies for 6 teams. Paired nicely with the Les Grognards kit to make a nice fully equipped platoon, giving enough bodies for any arrangement of the heavy weapons. Although for my own sake I wish I had noticed that the bodies of both kits differed in stance, and it would have been better to borrow some more standing bodies form the other kit for these teams, and standing bodies form this kit to hold their rifles at their side while using their comm kits
