Right now this is mostly a page of links to various reference sites and research that I've collected. I'm planning using Dirtside II from GZG — with conversion rules by Mike Elliot — to play scenarios based during Germany's invasion of France.
Another set of rules that look interesting is Storm of Steel (SOS). Described as fast play rules for combat 1930 - 1950. 2nd edition. Includes From Sedan to Dunkerque, which is a supplement for France 1940.
French Tanks (1940):
Char B1 bis, Size 2, Armor 2, Very Slow Tracked, Basic FC, KEC/3 in a turret mount [and a KEC/1 if you want], 1 * APSW
H-35, Size 2, Armor 1, Very Slow Tracked, Basic FC, KEC/1 in turret, 1 * APSW
Panhard AMD 178, Size 1, Low Mobility Wheeled, Basic FC, KEC/1 in turret, 1 * APSW
S-35 Somua, Size 2, Armor 1, Very Slow Tracked, Basic FC, KEC/2 in turret, 1 * APSW
British Tanks:
Crusader I, Size 2, Armor 1, Very Slow Tracked, Basic FC, KEC/1 in turret, 1 * APSW
Airfix — Set 01728: WWI French Infantry (also HaT 7003)
Painted khaki they could do as WWII French (see example). Each platoon needs 9 figures, for a total of 27 per company. Referring to the picture at Plastic Soldier Review, the following figures would be for rifle stands.
| 1 | 3 | 3 | 3 | 3 |
| 3 | 3 | 3 | 0 | 2 |
| 0 | 2 | 1 | 0 | 0 |
The first figure on the top row would be used for the 3 PCs and the remaining figure could be modified to be part of a rifle squad. One of the crawling figures and one of the prone firing figures would be used together to make a AT Rifile stand (lengthen the rifle?). The officer figures could be used to make a CC and/or BC.
HaT also makes WWI French Infantry (Early)
