Wargames Atlantic Preview Plastic French Resistance Kit!

October 5, 2020 by brennon

A new World War II set is on the way from Wargames Atlantic soon and in classic fashion, they've not gone for something typical. This first set is going to be a selection of Partisans, French Resistance fighters who are taking the battle to the Germans in order to free their land from their iron grip.

French Resistance #1 - Wargames Atlantic

This set has been designed so that they would work for the French Resistance but also a selection of different Partisans too should the need arise. You'll find miniatures which represent these freedom fighters as they became more and more organised, battling against the Germans with scavenged and stolen weapons.

As always this looks like this is going to be a versatile kit which will be filled with all manner of interesting options in terms of outfits, accessories and of course weapons. You could even use these miniatures for imagined conflicts as well as those that actually happened.

These miniatures are a little way away from their pre-order date but this gives you a good look at what Matthew Leahy has been working on right now. The prototypes are looking very flashy indeed and I could see a lot of people looking towards the Resistance as a way of experiencing World War II from a different perspective.

With a lot of World War II skirmish games out there which play with a handful of miniatures, it would be good to pick this kit up and play out the exploits of the Resistance through the streets of Paris and the farmlands of Normandy.

What do you make of these new plastics?
