* ~~British miniature~~ wargame ''[[Bolt Action]]'' does not feature France as a playable faction in the core rulebook. When added to the game via ''Armies of France and the Allies'' (which it shares, in roughly even page count percentage, with Belgian, Dutch, Polish, Greek and Partisan forces <ref>Note US, Commonwealth, German, Soviet, Japanese forces get their own book entirely to themselves, and while Italy splits one with minor axis powers, it and Finland get the clear lion's share of content.</ref>) it's one of the few nations weighed down by a purely negative national rule, has free poorly trained infantry as one of its positive rules, and their rules don't cover past 1940 beyond a page about using their rules for Vichy forces (Yes, in the book for the '''allies'''!).

** Warlord Games sells models for dead bodies as options for battlefield decoration/obstacles, but for whatever reason the only ones sold for ''Bolt Action'' are of the French. This one seems more of an oversight, as they offer a fairly extensive range of miniature corpses for their games based on prior conflicts (like Napoleonic or Roman).
