Hi all-
Well, here it is, the revised version of my scenario: The Doomed Sénégalais Poilu:

Well geographically it's near Lyon not Dijon. For the ATR it is doubtful very few were used by french soldiers in fact.

Hi Hugo-
Perhaps the ATR may not have been there but I wanted to give the French some Anti-tank capability, not as powerful as another 25LL ATG though. Later on today I'll change it from Dijon to Lyon.
Anyway, thanks for the input.

Why not give them a SW 37* infantry gun? I am no specialist, but I believe one saw more of those small guns than ATRs, and 37* has "some" punch, especially against those armored cars.

Scott,
regarding the new title: why didn't you keep exactly the same English + French wording as before? If you call it "The Doomed Senegalese Poilu", it should be fine, or "The Doomed Poilu Sénégalais" would work, too (although Tirailleur Sénégalais might be better than Poilu Sénégalais). "Sénégalais Poilu" sounds really bad :-$ Litterally translated, it means "hairy Senegalese"! In French, the noun vs. adjective order does matter ;-)

I fully agree.
The same error, I mean an ATR which shouldn't have been there in a french OB, was made in a depiction of the La Horgne Battle (the one from Fanatic Enterprises I believe) : it was wrong and it was a SW 37* infantry Gun that was used in La Horgne (I saw a picture of this weapon in the same unit).

Hi-
Robin-
I like your suggestion so I changed the ATR to and LMG for the reinforcement group and added a 37* INF SW to the on board group along with another 1st line HS.
Alain-
Changed Dijon to Lyon in the into paragraph.
I was at the printers today and the Waffen SS rare vehicle counter sheet is almost done, this sheet will consist of vehicles from ToT which includes the French and Russian armor used by the SS.
I am also converting some of the Peguses Bridge Armor, namely the 38H to SS colours.
As for Paul Kinney's stuff, I wont touch it with a 10 foot pole. The only TPM I buy nowadays are the French LFT and CH! stuff, both to me are the best TPM's on the Market. UI have been really dissapointed by HoB of late, RBF 3 the Axis minor magazine from them had to be the worst product I bought this year.
