Re: Free France Campaign
About Fezzan : 8) In the French book "L'apport capital de la France dans la victoire des Alliés 14-18/39-45" (= "France's vital contribution to the Allied victory of 14-18/39-45"), written by Dominique Lormier, one can find some interesting information about the first Fezzan campaign (February - Mar...

Re: Free France Campaign
( Mainly ) FEZZAN : 8) [...] I can get the gist that way; same with La Combattante so never mind about that. [...] . . . but a stamp can be worth a thousand words! [...] So. I think we have a scenario in the making here! Two? I don't know. My initial inclination is to have one that shows the action ...

Re: Free France Campaign
TUNISIA : 8) No thanks, Erik. That map is WAY too large. [...] Ah? :o Well, it seems to me that the surface area of Tunisia is smaller than that of Libya and Lebanon combined. 8) But, indeed, instead of a full Tunisian campaign, why not zooming in on this or that part of the battle? Yes, as you men...

Re: Free France Campaign
:arrow: Or, and I think this option would be even better , alternatively, it could actually comes as TWO scenarios: 8) 1. :idea: One "mini-Mourzouk" scenario as I've suggested before (in an old post)... LRDG (including French) on Chevrolet WB and Willys Jeeps launching a surprise assault against som...

Re: Free France Campaign
:arrow: So, basically, it happened in two phasis, in two campaigns. The first being more a set of raids... and the second and last one being more like a real conquest. :idea: But the scenario, of conquest, can go with some raiding parts, as some recon and, well, both preparatory attacks (against air...

Re: Free France Campaign
Fezzan, Second campaign: 8) The operation is delicate. Leclerc had to cover a thousand kilometers carrying food, ammunition and fuel, and he had to coordinate his advance with the British troops advancing in Cyrenaica. :? Sebha: main military center; Mourzouk: religious capital. :wink: Goal : to dri...

Re: Free France Campaign
By the way, very first small details related to 06BirHakeim . 8) Based on what is at disposal right now, I already see few elements that may be modified, so why waiting to write about it? About the text of the briefing ( in order of apparition ): 1. “1st Division's première brigade” -> “1st Division...

Re: Free France Campaign
Well, as usual I know you're going to browse through all the posts and their content. :D Not too much stress though, building this campaign should remain a pleasure ! :wink: :arrow: I'm still convinced that there are still some relevant elements related to OE ( like the construction group, the handf...

Re: Free France Campaign
A last feedback of mine ( I hope :roll: ) about 05OperationExporter : 8) . . . And I’ve got a Major Victory at the 44th turn out of 60… So, 60 turn seem to be still a little too much ! :o ( And even with an Early Victory module, it means free RPs offered to the Free French... 10 extra turns = almos...

Re: Free France Campaign
A last feedback of mine ( I hope :roll: ) about 05OperationExporter : 8) Despite what I've written before, because the changes are this time rather modest ( replace a Sea Hurricane by a Fulmar, a Free French Gloster Gladiator by its Sea version and change the AI Setup of only one DD ), I made these ...
