Yep. A character called Minipigs on TMP.

I think he pointed out the casual use of demeaning national stereotypes/names as being inappropriate.

Those are Charles Grant (Snr) French paratroops, they got their muskets from the cannisters and are going to kick les anglais (including les Kiwis) out of Crete.

That photo reminds me of Charles Grant Snr's Napoleonic wargaming series in the first issues of Military Modelling.

Very nice work, Monsieur Burt.
