19C - French VSF Army

 A new army appears in my VSF universe. The French!

I already have the Prussians (aka Victorians) and British (aka N.S.W.) but "needed" a new army to make it more interesting.

The French army has been very methodical in re-building itself since the Martian unpleasantness.

Obviously they need big guns to protect the major cities and towns from any Martian resurgence.

Starting with the big guns:


Big fortress guns in emplacements on hills to deter those miserable Martians or even those pesky Prussians.


A close up of the new emplacements and guns

Also of course you if you are going to field a respectable army you must have cavalry to charge in and save the day or die spectacularly. 


Heaven forbid any junior officer points out that cavalry have been pretty useless for the past 50 years. 
I can imagine painting some Roman cavalry and they would not look much different.

Cavalry squadrons pass either side of the guns to search for evidence of Martians or other invaders.

More to follow as I paint my way through the last purchase.

All figures from Pendraken and very nice they are. Don't get put off by my painting skills.

Lunar Marine Corp's Vehicles

 Having completed my Lunar Marines force I realised they did not have any heavy support.

So a quick order to Pendraken and soon reinforcements arrived.  



The Lunar Marine force moves out to attack the enemy

APCs - Can carry a squad of 6 marines. The crew can fire the 30mm gun in support.



Tanks - the main strike force

Transports - when you need to take all your oxygen as well as your ammo.


Now all I need is a Lunar Base to attack.

United States Lunar Marine Corp

In the late 21st Century the moon wars intensified and the United States set up the Lunar Marine Corp to defend their bases and to attack those of their enemies, the Antarctic Space X Corporation and the Amazon Lunar Corporation.

Here are some pictures of the US LMC in a lunar assault training mission during a rare period of peace.
Their standard assault vehicle is the Super Eagle Drop Ship that can land 8-10 troops anywhere on the Moon from either a Lunar Base or an orbiting space station.

Most troops are armed with the Lunar M16L assault weapon. One team per platoon carry Lunar SAW and AT / AA missiles. Platoon Commanders are accompanied by a Laser Designator for sub orbital munitions.
