Another one for me to buy! - wonder how the interpretation of the camouflage colours will compare with those in the articles in Histoire de Guerre? But you've got to love blue turrets BTW Trackstory used to translate the chapter titles into English too, but the translation was not printed quite so prominently on the page as the French. David

Do Editions du Barbotin allow Armorama to lift material from their site as I haven't got the facilities to scan images. David

I've been using them for years for News reports so, I doubt if they're going to object to a Review...

Fair enough, all I have to do now is wait for the kings of sat-nav to find my office and deliver the thing. No idea when that'll be Since we can never have too much French refrence material maybe I ought to think about doing the copies of GBM that are in the order too. David

Good idea. Since there IS an increased interest, the more material we get on French armor the better...
