The French Resistance appears to be the current "flavour of the month" with 28mm figure manufacturers. Warlord Games produced an exhaustive line of Resistance figures just before Christmas, complete with artillery (a 75mm gun), heavy machine gun, mortar, anti tank gun (and AT rifle) - everything that one needs to make an entire "WTDW" Platoon:
 |
The basic squad figures |
 |
The support group with its useful Mortar & MMG |
 |
All the figures on parade, with the 75mm gun, AT gun and AT rifle "in shot" |
Wargames Atlantic have also weighed in with a boxed set of multi-part plastic 'infantry', available as of 1st March:
The boxed set consists of 8 identical sprues, each containing sufficient parts to make 4 figures, with quite a few parts left over (see the sprue above, with 14 'heads' for the 4 available figures). All of them, however, are male figures - accompanying females would have to be metals sourced from Warlord - but on the plus side, they are compatible with Wargames Atlantic's previously released WW1 German and French plastic sets.
A lot of these figures, with minimal conversion and omission of the obvious anachronisms such as Schmeisser sub machine guns, would be suitable for VBCW "Civilian Resistance" figures of various types - whether BUF Auxiliaries, Red Guerillas, LDVs or whatever. Vive le VBCW!
