Dagger 21 Posted June 3, 2003 ToughLuck posted this in the simhq forums: "Thats right, there will be a new add-on pack that will include french infantry, vehicles and weapons. Below is a list of what to expect in this long awaited add-on pack. FRENCH WEAPON ADD-ONS -Rochefort cheese (a small piece of cheese to replace the K bar knife. This is pushed into the face of enemy soldiers to render them unconscious from the smell. -Depends adult diapers (restores health in the same way that medics do with other nationalities) -French passports (a very effective weapon in the french arsenal. Player uses these by throwing them at enemy players during the game. If the other player is from a poor 3rd world country they will drop their weapons, change into civilian clothes and leave the game) -Puegot armored vehicle (a very fast moving vehicle featuring 3 reverse gears and 1 forward gear) -High frequency backpack radio (primarily used to call in heavy support which comes in the form of M1A1 Abrams tanks, AH-64 Apache helicopters and A-10 aircraft) Note that using the french add-on weapons pack usually requires US Weapon Add-on packs. -White handkerchiefs (modeled after the original french government issue) This is just a partial list of what to expect in the upcoming "Operation Frenchpoint" add-on pack. This is still a WIP so if you would like to see something modelled in this pack that is not mentioned we promise to do the best we can to include it.

BERNARD1943 0 Posted June 3, 2003 Dagger you forgot to mention the red wine, which was in the real (not absolutely sure but think from Napoleon to 14-18), a true part of the french soldier weapons inventory Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Dagger 21 Posted June 3, 2003 I'm not going to make an issue on this one..he said it's just a joke as there really is a Operation Frenchpoint add-on.I thought it was funny but some people really took offence..i guess maybe i shouldn't have posted it but it was kinda cute.not meant to be offenceive. I served with the French on a UN peace keeping force and i must say they were some really neat guys..and the food they had was 1st rate.we traded MREs for their rations once..then they wouldn't trade anymore Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
MadJeff 3 Posted June 3, 2003 Dagger, I thought it was funny as well. And since Bernard1943, a real Frenchman thought so too, I would say you are safe on this one... ;) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
