I know of some great sources for 28mm + scale French, German and English figures for the Somme Battle. Most people associate the British, not the French, with that battle (because of Kitchner Haig and the "Pals Brigades Battalions, and losing an entire generation of young men in one battle).

Here's the WORLD WAR ONE FRENCH that he had made



Lon is primarily a vendor, and he sells RENEGADE FIGURES. They make slightly bigger World War One figures for British, French, and Germans. They are gorgeous.

I'd love to see your rules at some point!
