Thanks for the link, GHG. I’ve checked my notes on HBG’s early conceptual CGI drawings for the proposed French set (which originally had 23 projected sculpt types) and I’ve compared it with the 14 sculpt masters in the posted pictures, As far as I can tell, 13 of these 14 sculpts correspond to these 13 projected units:
Infantry with rifle
French Foreign Legion
Lorraine 1938L Mech
Char B heavy tank
Breguet 690 Tac Bomber
Bloch 210 Medium Bomber
D.520 Fighter Plane
Bearn Class Carrier
Dunkerque Class Battleship (actually a battlecruiser)
Suffren Class Heavy Cruiser
Le Fantasque Class Destroyer
Redoubtable Class Submarine
Golo Type Transport Ship
It’s not clear whether the Breguet 690 Tac Bomber and Bloch 210 Medium Bomber are meant to serve, respectively, as the the game’s tactical bomber and strategic bomber units because HBG was originally considering having an F222 Heavy Bomber unit in its set as the strategic bomber.
The 14th sculpt in the picture (the artillery piece) is a mystery. HBG had a) a 105 mle 1935b Artillery [howitzer] or a Mle 1897 gun as the artillery unit, b) a Chamond SP Artillery unit in an undefined gun role, and c) a W15 SPAT in an undefined gun role, but the gun in the picture doesn’t look like any of them; it actually looks more like a Canon de 75 modele 1897, though the breech seems too large and rounded in that regard. At any rate, there’s only one gun in the set, and it’s clearly a field artillery piece of some sort, so there’s no anti-aircraft gun in the set.
EDIT: Actually, I’ve re-checked the gun from another angle, and it does appear to be the projected Mle 1897 gun (the same as the Canon de 75 modele 1897 I mentioned).
