Flames of War: Renault Char B1 Tank Company Product Contents

The Renault Char B1 Tank Company for Flames of War allows you to field an early-war French armored force from World War II. This boxed set by Battlefront Miniatures brings together Renault Char B1 heavy tanks, Somua S35 tanks, and Hotchkiss H39 tanks, accompanied by infantry teams to represent the French forces that fought during the 1940 invasion of France.

French tanks were engineered to support advancing infantry, withstand incoming enemy fire, and punch through battle lines. While their speed was limited, their heavy armor and formidable firepower turned them into a force that opponents could not easily ignore.

How to Use the Renault Char B1 Tank Company in Flames of War

Flames of War is a tactical WWII miniatures game where players organize forces, deploy armored vehicles and infantry, and clash to fulfill scenario objectives through tactical maneuvers, supporting fire, and command decisions.

This boxed set combines various iconic French tank models with infantry teams, providing a solid foundation for building an early-war armored force. It includes an A5 rulebook and seven unit cards to reference essential stats and rules during games.

French WWII Tanks

This company set includes three signature armored vehicle models from the French military arsenal:

• Renault Char B1: Heavy tank armed with dual 47mm and 75mm guns, designed for devastating combat power and infantry support.
• Somua S35: French cavalry tank balancing mobility and firepower, equipped with a 47mm main gun.
• Hotchkiss H39: Light support tank equipped with a long-barrel 37mm gun.

Combining these vehicles allows you to field a versatile French force with heavy armor, mobile tanks, and supporting infantry teams for complete tactical flexibility.

Assembly and Painting

The miniatures are supplied unassembled and unpainted, requiring assembly and preparation before heading into battle. You can replicate the historic camouflage patterns used on French military vehicles in 1940 and add vehicle numbers, insignia, and weathering effects to give each tank distinct character.

The two included decal sheets help finish your models with authentic historical markings. To complete your build, use military vehicle modeling paints, brushes, and hobby tools designed for plastic miniatures.
