Featured battle : Savigliano

Part of The French Revolutionary and Napoleonic Wars

Date : 18 September 1799

Perhaps over confident from their success over a much smaller Austrian force at Fossano the French did not retreat quickly enough from the much larger Austrian force. The French were lucky to extricate over 5,000 men when faced with an enemy superiority of three to one.

French AMX 10 Light Tank

French AMX 10 Light Tank

An AMX 10 Light Tank of the French Foreign Legion, probably the 1st REC, as part of the Coalition forces against the Iraqi invasion of Kuwait. Note that this useful item of light armour is wheeled, rather than tracked for speed and durability on roads as well as a descent off-road capability. It is armed with a powerful 105mm gun.
