De Gaulle's Division

[leonard]

Man, the French are motorized...more trucks and other personel vehicles than you can imagine, and not a wagon in sight!  Very sharp printing, and the 4currisiers (pardon my French literally) emblem is top center on every piece.  There is also one additional aircraft included.

Cost as much as 2 Panzer Cruisers, but quite beautiful.

DCRs were supposed to be the French armored division with heavy B1-bis tanks and armored infantry (Lorraine armored carriers). However the infantry part of the division was a bit weak and not linked to the tanks : there was no real cohesion between them. Moreover some of these divisions had not received the adhoc material/vehicles and this was the case with De Gaulle 4th DCR. The true equivalent for the panzerdivisions were the DLM from the Cavalry branch with their Somua tanks.
De Gaulle's 4th DCR was engaged in agressive counterattacks at Montcornet, Crésy sur Serre and at Abbeville which made it so famous along with the personality of its commander.

You might notice that the order of battle has been updated from the previous version.
