  1. Nope, TK's games that I've bought in french stores (that is SFP1 and WoV) do have the english speak. By the way, I don't know if French AdlA uses english or french in operations.
  2. My KLu adventure

    Congratulations!
  3. Wa aleikum as-salam wa Rahmatou'lahi wa Barakatou. BTW, that's arabic, not french... Im the latest, not arabic. All right, so you're heading toward an Algerian civil war scenario, based on the 1991 election. That's quite a good idea, very original one indeed. Reminds me of the good old Fighter Anthology Egypt scenario, with the take over of the government by bearded guys and the remnants fighting alongside the West in the Sinaï. I'm a little bit sceptical about the Libyan involvment thing, as Qaddafi and islamists are mortal ennemies. So, Libya backing those guys is doubtful in my mind, especially since Qaddafi was almost overthrown by an islamist-backed coup in 1993 and that he had to face a quite severe islamist guerilla in the eastern part of Libya until the mid 90's (at that time... well... he had killed them all...). You could perhaps start with Algerian Civil war, followed by Qaddafi's successful overthrow in this timeline. Thus, Algerian islamic state and Libyan one would be allied against Tunisia, and perhaps against some survivalists from Algerian government and Libyan one, supporting evil things against Tunisia. And here comes our war.
  4. Combat operations in Algeria were mostly COINS ones (it was indeed not a war, but a struggle against a rebellion). http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/History_of_th....281954-1962.29 Some détails there. BTW, France had some... words... with Tunisia in 1961, there was some air raids and stuffs.
  5. Are you speaking of a pre-1918 scenario? 'cause after that, in terms of military capability, our country suddendly experienced a sort of total loss. By the way, some campaign with Ouragan, mysteres, super mystere would be sweet indeed. What do you have in mind?
  6. Hang over cures....Whats yours?

    I'm more "anticipating", usually, while I'm still clear enough, I like to drink water in between alcohols, in order to limit the said deshydratation. And on the morning... uh... at noon, shower and water, but no "magical potion".
  7. Gosh... Bombing hot dog stands. There is a code of Honor in war, by Jingo! Don't thread on food! 'specially tasty one...
  8. Check This

    Indeed...
  9. 25 Years Ago

    25 years indeed since what is usually called here "The Drakkar attack", since it was the name of the place were french troops were. 58 soldiers, mostly conscripts, were killed. Since that no more conscripts were sent otherseas. As usual in France, nobody cares in the media, only 3 stories in Papers. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DYcIsXm9Mt0...feature=related Here's what's now a traditionnal song of the french airborn troops, about these events in Lebanon (with pics). S! to them and to the US soldiers who fell at the same time.
  10. This might be the real proof of glory, at least major success: a mod requiring a new machine, having its own hardware requirements. You guys are astonishing! 4GB, JSF, Dave, Wrench and such in a project... and so much involved, up into putting money! It can only be great. What this mods is going to be is just why I love TK's sims and what I love this community: great men doing marvellous jobs. My only fear, since Dave's message is to be unable to run it, "because" of the said awesomeness.
  11. Iran-Iraq war

    I'm in an "Iran-Iraq mood", reading a lot about it since a few days, and hoping for a brand new Iran-Iraq war campaign for WoX. I found by the way these rather instructive movies on youtube: http://fr.youtube.com/watch?v=IljH18KJclI&NR=1 Here's a quite good documentary with a lot of interesting footages. And here's what seems to my ears as Iraqui propaganda, quite interesting too for some footages, including planes, and for the... inaccuracies and omissions.
  12. AFAIK, Nighthawk isn't finished yet and won't be in, until some update pack. But the mod's staff might know more about it.
  13. Sci fi Screenshots

    Here start I. The fleet is spotted! The rat-tag fleet is sent away, condition one is set and Vipers are launched! And the fun begins...
  14. BTW, will this campaign be updated by someone using the soon to be new terrain and sept. patch? Would be great!
  15. Waltz With Bashir

    Yeah, I agree with the fact that it deals with terrible events, but without the usual israel-bashing we are used to hear here. But even more, I was just "wow" because of the so realistic animation and depiction of war and soldier life.
  16. NF3

    Great movie. By jingo, I MUST see it again!
  17. NF3

    "Column5 is not as forgiving as I am."
  18. NF3

    Would be sweet... French Aéronavale, Royal Navy, US Navy and of course our South European friends shooting down Soviet and their bulgarian and Romanian allies.
  19. Any WWE fan out there?

    I've been wondering if there is some WWE watchers here, at combatace. I'm a recent convert. My best friend uses to watch WWE since when it was WWF and when we were both in primary school, that drove us back to the early 90's. In high school he still watched it, and still nowadays, decades after. And he managed, last year, in converting me, at last! Actually, Wrestling is becoming ultra-fashionable among geeks here, after two decades in the shadows, in France, and I'm just another victim. So I want to know if there is some pal, here, who watch WWE too.
  20. Any WWE fan out there?

    IMHO, all the fun in WWE comes from all that scenarized stuff.
  21. Roundel: which is your favorite?

    Just a little idea here: show us your favorite national markings/roundel in terms of graphism and design. Kazakhstan is quite fancy WW2 Romania Kingdom of Yougoslavia and, since 2006, Serbia Air force Southern Rhodesia And Brazil
  22. Super Etendard Collision

    He hadn't been found yet. And there will be no more SAR. "Honneur, Patrie, Valeur, Discipline" (“Honour, Homeland, Valour, Discipline”)
