Gringo40's will be releasing a brand New and exciting range to compliment our growing Opium Wars 28mm range. This is the French conquest of Tonkin (north Vietnam). Having conquered South Vietnam (Annam) the Colonial French then attempted to control the north, they came up against formidable enemies in the shape of the Chinese Black Flag troops as well as regular Chinese and Vietnamese infantry.
The range will include the very important Naval side with a fleet of boats already commissioned along with exotic animals, elephant artillery and the numerous allies of the French.
Attached picture is French foreign legionnaire in full campaign kit, with looted goods strapped to his 60lb backpack!

Ged.

That is one really nice figure. He looks tired, but quietly satisfied with his swag.
