In preparation for learning Chain of Command 2 I am going to play the “Many Rivers to Cross” Pint-Size Campaign, from the 2018 edition of Lard Magazine. This is always a good opportunity to put a campaign force list together.

| Senior and Junior Leaders. |
For the longest time I have been taken with the look and the uniforms of the French Reconnaissance Motorcycle Platoon. It has always struck me has one of the most practicable uniforms of the Early War period. Most of the miniatures come from Early War Minaitures & TQD Castings. With the release of Chain of Command 2 it a great opportunity to get them back on the table as a defending platoon in a Pint-Size Campaign.

| 1re Groupe de Fusiliers |
 |
| 2eme Groupe de Fusiliers |
According to the Blitzkrieg Handbook this platoon is potent in terms of firepower with two LMGs per Groupe eight Fusiliers. However they only have two Groupede Fusiliers and the V-B Team. Which makes them smaller than the standard three Groupe French Platoon.

| V-B Team with two Senior Leaders |
Since this is one of the few French formations which benefit with two Senior Leaders the The Support points difference may give the opportunity to add an additional Groupe the Combat with a Junior Leader From List 5 to beef it up and act as a mobile reserve.
Some of the Support Options for the French Early War force:
 |
| Support Option: Groupe de Combat |
 |
| Support Option: 60mm Brandt Mortar Team with Junior Leader. |
 |
| Support Option: Hotchkiss M1914 MMG Team with five crew. |
 |
Support Option: Sniper Team.
|
 |
| Support Option: Engineer Team. |
 |
| The Beginings of a 'Groupe Franc' Sizaine. |
 |
| Support Option: A Hotchkiss H35 & Somua S35. |
