8 Bods in 6 poses and loose crossbows. The shields are from the MiniArt French Knights with Assault Ladders set. They are, like the Armoured Longbowmen from TD, they are painted in the colours of John Bourchier. The following is again miniatures painted by Combat Colours for my 28mm Spanish American War Personalities. At one time I thought of playing the Spanish American War in 28mm, but never got around to it and now I don't have a desire to do it in 28mm.

The Army Special Forces Command (French: Commandement des forces spéciales Terre, COM FST) is the French Army's special forces unit. It is based in Pau, Pyrénées-Atlantiques.

History[edit]

  1. 'At once thoughtful and provocative, Michal Givoni’s The Care of the Witness traces the arteries of testimony that flow through twentieth-century experiences of war, humanitarian action and the Holocaust, exposing them to rigorous analysis.
  2. Bolt Action is actually much closer to I Ain't Been Shot Mum, or even Flames of War in terms of its movement, ranges and whole squad system. The only parity with CoC is that both are popularly played with 28mm figures.
  3. A short walk west along the Utrechtse Weg is the Hartenstein Museum, which has to be one of the best museums I’ve visited. It has been recently refurbished and it reopened in April this year in time for the preparations for the 70 th anniversary and is a fine example of what can be done with an historically significant building used to house an admittedly small, but important museum.

The COM FST is the heir of the groupement spécial autonome (GSA, independent special grouping) created in 1997 and then commanded the 1er RPIMa and a special operations flight belonging to the 4e Régiment d'Hélicoptères de Commandement et de Manœuvre (4e RHCM, 4th command and manoeuvre helicopters regiment) of the ALAT.

In 1998, the Détachement ALAT des Opérations Spéciales (DAOS, ALAT detachment for special operations) was created.

The brigade des forces spéciales Terre (BFST) was activated on 1 July 2002 and included the 13e RDP. The BFST conduct an annual exercise called Gorgones (gorgons) to ensure interoperability of the three units. The name Gorgones refers to the three units, as the three mythological figures.

The BFST has supported the peacekeeping operation in Côte d'Ivoire (Operation Licorne) and Afghanistan (Mission Héraclès).
