Thanks, Britian, for the Antitank Weapon

French Forces of the Interior (FFI) members, Jean and Louis-Erik, form the heavy weapons team of their guerilla cell in South-Eastern France. As such they carry a large load of weapons and ammo.

Their most powerful weapon is a British "Projectile Infantry Antitank (PIAT) launcher, that was included in the latest airdrop from the British. As useful at taking out fortified positions as it is at tackling German armour, the PIAT is a valuable addition to their cell's firepower.

 As the rest of their weapons are captured Axis equipment (a MP 40 SMG, an Italian Bolero 1889 pistol and stick grenades) resupply of ammo and spare parts is haphazard at best. Maybe the next supply drop will include more British weapons and ammo.

Jean and Louis-Erik are kit-bashed pieces I created and painted over the weekend.

Desperate Times Call for Desperate Measures

Two members of the French Resistance, Gabriel and Lucien, have learned to use whatever weapons they have captured from the hated Nazi invaders.

In this case, Lucien has mastered the use of the MG-34 general purpose machine gun. While his assistant, Gabriel has the always reliable Mauser Karabiner 98k. 

As a light machinegun team, the two guerillas bring a lot of firepower to any raid on the Germans that they join. After a successful attack they will loot the dead for more weapons and ammunition, therefore using their hated enemies' own weapons to aid French resistance. Vive la France!

Lucien and Gabriel are two plastic kit bashed pieces I put together and painted this weekend. 

Big Mamma Boom-Boom

 

Some streets in unstable areas of the World can be dangerous palaces especially in times of civil destress. In those areas the side with more firepower is definitely in a stronger position.   When it comes to the use of serious firepower, Big Mamma Boom-Boom (AKA Bertha Smashbang) is who 

 you want on your side.

.

Rocket Propelled Grenades (RPG's) are her preferred calling card as she rarely needs to send a second message.

For up close and personal discussions she uses her Desert Eagle .50 cal automatic to make her points.

While Big Mamma is a freelancer who works for the highest bidder, she does have "moral" standards that she will not break (the defenseless, children and animals).

So, in the dystopian World, Big Mamma is ready to lend her Boom-Boom for those who can pay.

Big Mamma is a plastic piece from Warlord that I painted today.
