I propose to add another event French unit, namely
“French Foreign Legion”
Brief history:
During the war, the Legion participated in the liberation of Syria, Egypt, Libya, and Tunisia, and after the completion of the African campaign, it participated in the landing on Italy and the liberation of Western Europe.
The unit itself will be Assaultmen with the “MAS-38” SMG, which is available in the game
Vive La France. Yeah, Enlisted could use them as they were a faction that fought in WW2. It’s kind of lame they aren’t already in the game. Although, every time I think of the French I think of “Johnny English”.
I get annoyed when people say Oh France didnt do anything.
1939-1940
Battle of France
Battle for Norway
Belgium, Netherlands (early war)
Free French and Vichy French in Tunisia, Syria & Lebanon (Vichy fought Australians in the latter in 1941)
Free French liberated… France (mind blown) along with the Low Countries in late war.
If we include the Dutch as a part of the French faction (or sub faction) then that includes the Pacific eg Dutch East Indies.
Allied France and Vichy France fought Pro-Japanese Thailand in Indochina.
Also interesting that we are allowed Moroccan Auxiliaries and the French Resistance in the friggin Pacific yet cant have the French Army in Normandy ???
Fortunately, it was Mr Bean, so I doubt many people took it seriously. If I were French and someone said that and he wasn’t a comedian, I would probably be a little offended.
