Poilu

I'm reading Peter Hart's "The Great War' at the moment. Spoiler alert - the German's lose. Very good especially on the French in 1914. They took terrible casualties as like everybody else they learned what combined arms in the modern world required. It was a doctrinal equivalent of the race to the sea as everyone sought to outflank each other in operational and tactical development. And in the end, guess what, it was the attrition wot won it.

I wont claim this figure to be an homage to all that. I simply had a few of these Renegade figures lying around and felt like painting something different. He'd look even better with a bayonet.
