Though raised across France's territories in west, central and east Africa, they took the title Senegalese in honour of the first black Tirailleur regiments formed in Senegal.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eEver since the 1850s France had recruited troops from Senegal and other West African countries in her Empire. By 1940 nearly ten percent of the French army was formed of Colonial units.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThey soon earned a reputation for tenacity and ferocity in combat and gave a very good account of themselves in dozens of actions as the Blitzkrieg overwhelmed France. Fierce in attack, and stubborn in defence, the Senegalese were feared and often despised by German troops who objected to the West African traditional close combat weapon, the Coupe-Coupe, a massive heavy-bladed knife that the troops wielded to great physical and psychological effect!\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eContains a 10-man Senegalese Tirailleurs Infantry Section:\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e1 NCO with rifle\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e1 soldier with VB launcher\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e2-man light machine gun team (loader has sub-machine gun)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e6 riflemen\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: xx-small;\"\u003e\u003cem\u003eNote: Models supplied unassembled and unpainted\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eProduct Details\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eBrand:\u003c\/strong\u003e Warlord Games\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eGame System:\u003c\/strong\u003e Bolt Action\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eStock Information\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eIf this item is not currently in stock at time of order, we will order it for you as a \u003cstrong\u003eDirect Order\u003c\/strong\u003e from Warlord Games.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eDirect Order items are sourced directly from the manufacturer on your behalf.
