After four years of occupation, Paris was liberated by the Allies on August 25, 1944. The battle began with an uprising staged by the French Resistance on August 19, leading to street fights throughout the city.
On August 24, General Leclerc’s 2nd Armored Division was the first to enter the French capital. The German military governor of Paris, contrary to orders to destroy the city, surrendered the next day without serious resistance.
The liberation of Paris became a symbolic moment of World War II and marks the beginning of the restoration of a free France. This day remains one of the most memorable in the history of the French capital.

I don’t know if I’m interested enough to do 10 out of 12 missions just to get a Farqugar-Hill, not really that keen on outfitting my actual soldiers with single-shot scrap pistols meant for resistance fighters…
Really hope you make the Free French their own subfaction within the the Allies at some point though, after the Commonwealth and Italy gets their just due of course.
please bring back the Special offers/bundles and please reconsider on bringing back all the premium squads and compile them in a single file in the shop, its sad to watch the shop feeling empty. Thankyou for reading this
It was the developers choice not to include BR changes with the weapon stat changes, and treating it as somehow some sort of overreaction for people to expect something to be done about this within a reasonable timeframe is beyond belief.
Damn. I thought again that the developers were introducing a new campaign. But this is again an event, timed to some date. Stop making these clickbaits!
