Who craps in the forest? 1 month ago Brandlin. Tron Inspired Squat Bikes 1 month ago The Wargame Shed. X-Wing: Rebel Rescue / Retrieval / Reward 1 month ago. 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. The 9x20mm ammo was also not used for any other pistols to my knowledge except the rare Le Francaise Type Armee, which would make ammunition harder to come by for field resupply than.32 ACP,.380 ACP,.38 Special, or 9mm Parabellum (add.45 ACP for American work). To say nothing of trying to get.44 Magnum ammo in Europe!
History[edit]
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.
The killing of Ilan Halimi (Hebrew: אילן חלימי ) was the kidnapping, torture, and murder of a young Frenchman of Moroccan Jewish ancestry in France in 2006. Halimi was kidnapped on 21 January 2006 by a group calling itself the Gang of Barbarians. 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.
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).
