It's been a while since I have updated my somewhat irregular blog but here is what I have been working on lately after the arrival of a fairly substaintial parcel from Navwar recently......enough ships of the French Marine Nationale to cover the activities of the Force de Raide and the French Force X based at Alexandra and various crusier and destroyer flotilla actions against the Italians (such as Operation Vado) prior to the Armistice.
So without further ado here is what I have completed so far:
Battlecruisers Dunkerque and Strasbourg, the mainstays of the Force de Raide: 
Battleships Bretagne and Lorraine, the latter being extensively rebuilt prior to 1939:
Some later French heavy cruisers - Foch, Colbert and Algerie:
And three La Galissonneire class CL's - Montclam, Glorie and Georges Leygues:
Lastly some contre-torpilleurs of the Le Fantasque and Mogador classes:
I still have a few more destroyers and the carrier Bearn's flight deck to complete, but the French fleet is now largely done.
We played a "what-if" version of the events at Mers el Kebir on 3 July 1940 last night featuring the capital ships and the destroyers pictured above, unfortunately things did not go well for the French Fleet, but the few pictures that I took did not come out too well so I have not posted any of them.
Absolutely superb.
