So, what would be the story line? Like in Defender of the Crown in FA? UK versus UE? If so, please, put free french and other independantists fighting alongside UK.

They were also still some old design in services by the outbreak of the war. They were being phased out at the time: Spad S510, last ones phased out of reserve squadrons in January 1940. Dewoitine 371, mainly in French Navy. Gradually phased out until flight interdiction following several accidents in April 1940. Of course, trademark of the late thirties FaF: Dewoitine 500&subsequent numbers. Some were flying overseas until 1941! Loire 46: one squadron used it until Fall of 1939. Morane-Saulnier MS.225: some Twenty still in use in September 1939, scrapped by the May 1940. http://www.loopingmodels.com/images/SMER838.jpg Potez 540: few still served during Phony war, but were withdawn from Front line before German attack. http://hsfeatures.com/features04/images/potez570_01.jpg Farman F222: First allied bomber to attack Berlin. http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/0/05/Farman_F.222.jpeg And who would be courageous enough to play any campain in Amiot 143? Most were lost in May 1940, trying to stop german advance with almost-suicide attacks on bridges. This would also be a great addition: LN 411, French navy dive bomber à la Stuka (used its landing gear as dive breaks). And other French bombers too... LeO 451, Martin MB and so. So if one wants to be quite complete, it will requires quite a lot of planes, even if MS406 were the most numerous ones. I would love a start in septembre 1939, but perhaps april-may 1940 is more reasonnable. By the way, it would be so sweet to fly this campaign. It's a little known fact, but in one month and an half of fighting, the Luftwaffe lost as much planes as in BoB... Without Allied resistance in the air, later things could have been darker.

Well, that's the result of a very quick googling during lunch pause. I'll try to find it bigger or better. I've some documentation by my parents about Battle of France, especially in the airs, so I might help with OoB and some specifications.

Thanks a lot you guys. You are the real force behind the curtain making these games so great!

Sweet! And no wonder that in the heat of action this plane was confused with Me-110 and required much identification marks...

You were in NVA?

I just saw the website is deeper than I thought: http://users.skynet.be/tintinpassion/VOIRSAVOIR/Avion1/pages_avion1/062_Avion1.html Aviation form the beginning to WW1 http://users.skynet.be/tintinpassion/VOIRSAVOIR/Ballon/pages_ballon/062_Ballon.html Balloons http://users.skynet.be/tintinpassion/VOIRSAVOIR/Avionital/pages-Avionital/002_Avioni.html Italy and planes Quite out of topic, but here's some about ships: http://users.skynet.be/tintinpassion/VOIRSAVOIR/Marin1/pages_Marin1/062_Marin1.html http://users.skynet.be/tintinpassion/VOIRSAVOIR/Marin2/pages_Marin2/062_Marin2.html And trains! http://users.skynet.be/tintinpassion/VOIRSAVOIR/Locos/pages_Locos/07_Locos.html

I don't know if the belgian Tintin Comic books are much known outside the french-speaking world (especially in the US), but here's the following: Hergé, Tintin's creator, always drew very carefully the buildings, planes, vehicules and so on in his comics. He also made a few strips dealing with WW2 airplanes wich are quite good. You'll find them here: http://users.skynet.be/tintinpassion/VOIRSAVOIR/Avion2/pages_avion2/062_Avion2.html And here are a few samples:

I'm dreaming of a breguet 693 and some panzern column to bomb and straff in the Ardennes!

We need proper ground objects (French/UK and German Tanks) We also lack a Morane 406, Bloch 151 and so, LeO 451, MB 7, Gladiator, Battle, Breguet 691... Well not, that much.

Your son rocks!

Hey! I enjoyed G-Force!

Super idée! Tu t'attaques à une tâche dantesque en tout cas! You just can't imagine how much what if or historical campaigns I am thinking of right now!

Well done! I'm personnaly currently dealing with the B-day of the girl... Friday and still no idea of gift! I shouldn't have offered the Desperate HF season 4 set a few weeks ago without purpose, it would have saved me looooots of brainstorming. So Christmas shopping? Far from my current worries!

Mine ate dry food too. Canned also -he had choice between both actually-. Man, for the next one, be sure I'll be vigilant.

Lost my dad's cat exactly a year ago for the same reason. Was healthy and all... And in one week, passed away. I was not there and I'm still feeling so guilty. I swore, too late for him, that I will be there for my mom's one when she goes away.

J'apprends la nouvelle... Ça fait un choc, bien que je ne le connaissais qu'à travers ses fabuleux mods. Toutes mes condoléances à sa famille et ses amis.

Awesome! Man, I dream of a France 40 mod for Thirdwire!

Well... Looks like we finally sold some! And that we are getting more and more pals with Brazil. Regarding Brazil choices, french papers insist on the technological transfer: Brazil will build the plane itself and will be able to sell it to other countries without anything in return. Desperate to sell? Hell, yes!

Good topics, lots of usefull stuff! Should be a sticky!

I say, perfect place for an Easter Egg! And oh, my! Khoms quite bigger today! Layout still recognisablen but more extended, Oil industries and an awesome little restaurant in that street I forgot the name.

Next time, let's not the bastards have enough time to arm or rearm. And a thought for Poland and her heroic resistance.

Thanks for your translation.

I see... Your case is indeed most severe! Perhaps your razor isn't the best quality you should have. You can also try to take some advices in pharmacy, they might have some things easing the skin after or before shaving.

Quite strange and moving to see this bird and the pilots take off. knowing what is to come...
