Armies of France and Marie-Pierre Kœnig book miniature

Armies of France: Third Edition is your essential guide to collecting and playing French forces in Bolt Action!

France began the Second World War with one of the most powerful militaries in the world, with vast reserves of manpower supported by tanks, artillery, and airpower. While their defeat at the hands of Germany came as a huge shock historically, this book arms you with everything you need to change history on the Bolt Action tabletop! Armies of France includes not only rules for the French army of 1939-40, with its vast array of units, but also for Free French and Vichy forces, allowing you to field the forces of France throughout the entire war!

In addition to the unit profiles and national special rules, Armies of France is packed with historical background details, and full-colour illustrations and photography, to inspire your hobby journey.

Special Figure: Alongside the book comes Marie-Pierre Kœnig, the special figure! Kœnig would become legendary for his command of the Free French defence at Bir Hakeim in 1942, where his brigade held off five enemy divisions for over two weeks. Our figure depicts him in the thick of the action, running between positions under fire, and makes for a fantastic Platoon or Company Commander in any French force.
