You're welcome, LynxCom, thank you for your kind comment. You know, bringing a relatively unknown part of history to life is also what motivated us.

I am really glad to read that you enjoyed the campaign so much.
Multiplayer battles? Well, no, that's not planned, I'm sorry.
Well, I would say that's not sure at all: why would the Germans have attacked if they would have been convinced of it? Why did General de Gaulle, who was to become famous , advocate gathering the available armored units (before the war!) into mobile corps instead of keeping them scattered and essentially defensive and static? This would have resembled more the German Blitzkrieg and would have complicated the task of the Germans... Germans who suffered greatly anyway, notably in the air: a good part of the Luftwaffe disappeared even before attacking Great Britain.
Anyway, afterwards, this is a campaign about Free France, so the path that all these men had to follow, after the official fall of France, all these men who refused to put down their arms, who fought on many continents to finally try to get their country out of the German boots, men who started from almost nothing but who accomplished a lot. They've been helped by the Allies, but they've largely done their own part in return - even fighting in the skies of Russia! 
This story takes place in the late stages of World War II. It features the Senegalese Tirailleurs, French colonial troops mainly from West Africa, fighting to liberate a homeland they have never seen before. ColonelY wrote: ↑Sat Jan 01, 2022 7:15 pm
We do have Tirailleurs units that appear in several scenarios in this campaign.
thanks!
- this has already been introduced during the campaign through pop-up events. Hello, happy New Year! I hope now we will see the French army in all its glory, and not just what Call of Duty shows us %)
About the fact that when the French army liberated Paris, they withdrew all the black troops? YES, indeed, we have already talked about that too.terminator wrote: ↑Mon Jan 03, 2022 4:03 am Has anyone talked about this in the Free France Campaign ?
Here, for example, we have at least these two campaign events:ColonelY wrote: ↑Mon Jan 03, 2022 10:13 amAbout the fact that when the French army liberated Paris, they withdrew all the black troops?

There was a lot of work in terms of historical research to build this campaign. After that, it was also a matter of not adding TOO many elements either, so as not to outshine the action that we wanted to maintain both challenging and entertaining.
Blanchiment 1/2
"On De Gaulle’s order, in a process called 'blanchiment' (whitening), many colonial troops have been sent to the rear to make room for untrained FFI irregulars. The colonials had once made up more than half the manpower of the French army; now that share will decline to about one-third. This change will bring thousands of Resistance fighters — many of them communists — under military control. It is being done for discriminatory and non-discriminatory reasons."
Blanchiment 2/2
"The original African recruits have suffered heavy casualties and are worn down by years of fighting; conscripting more is not practical. Colonial troops, many ill-shod and still wearing summer uniforms, are unsuited to Europe's winter climate. De Gaulle wants to nurture French national unity and not all elements of French society are comfortable with black soldiers. Lastly, France should be liberated by metropolitan Frenchmen, not by its non-white colonial subjects."

Don't worry, I 'm here with you before the Battle of the French and the Vietnamese ) We are shown pictures and videos from Call of Duty here, but I remembered another game clone 7554)))
It's not Call of Duty, it's Battlefield V :
Yes , what difference does it make to us , the main thing is that the French army would be full - fledged )terminator wrote: ↑Mon Jan 03, 2022 1:41 pmIt's not Call of Duty, it's Battlefield V :
