Nice video. You almost lost me straightaway when you said it ended in 53. That'd be prior to Dien Bien Phu then?😂 However, I stuck with it and there was some nice pics. Vehicles used changed greatly when the US started supplying the French more and more after the start of the Korean war and Sherman and M36s were only briefly in theatre to guard the Chinese border as there was tank threat from the Viet Minh. Its a very interesting conflict to research and game.

Thanks Andy, thanks for your kind comments, I am still reading through all my books on Indochina, a very interesting subject indeed, I learn something new on the subject every time I look into the subject, I found some interesting articles about the ex German Forces, that were serving with the FFL, especially at Dien Bien Phu . Thanks WD

Not to be nitpicky but, the Panhards that were sent to Indochina were 178Bs which had that new turret and a 47mm gun not a 25mm. There's also a vehicle missing from your list that played a large role in the Foreign Legion cavalry and that was the M29C weasel (or crabe as it was known in French service) and they armed those with a variety of weapons which included recoiless rifles.

Hi Ian Warlord Games as far as i am aware dont do a weasel, that's why i didn't mention it, it seemed to be used for everything. i have found a company that does a 3d print of one. Good spot with the Panhard, i didn't know it had a upgraded turret, i have learned something new today. Thanks for commenting 👍👍

@@watchdogwargaming I misunderstood your title, I thought you meant playing Indochina using warlord rules instead of giving us options we can get from warlord, apologies for that mistake. You are correct warlord doesn't make one but there is a site called jjg print that has an excellent Indochina section that has an M29 and a couple of jeep options as well as figures that are 3d printed. Is that the place you found?
