In the chill ofthe Arctic spring, a French For- cign Legion battalion prepares a hasty assault on a supply depot north of Narvik. Currently in German hands, the depot holds the arms desperately needed by the Norwegians fighting in the mountains. In the face of Wehrmacht machine guns, atudacity-and two Hotchkiss tanks—might be the key to the Legionnaires’ success. May 16th, 1940... The French 9th Army is disintegrating rapidly. Its headquarters, just setting up in the village of Le Cateet, i not even sure how far the Germans have advanced. Suddenly the alarm is reised—enemy approaching, from the north! Armored cars quickly take up positions to fight a holding action, while the small HQ staff and the local garrison hurriedly make what defen sive preparations they can. Their day promises to be desperate. June 20th, 1941 ... Elements of the Free French Division must take the rugged, boulderstrewn stronghold of Hill 740, the last Vichy position covering the road to Damascus. Tanks, guns and men stand ready amidst the wadis and broken ground, but no ‘one is enthusiastic about having to fight his erstwhile brothers- tnvarms. Regardless of which side prevails itis bound to be asad day for France. November 8th, 1942 ... The Americans have landed in Morocco, but in their ranks confusion reigns. Some mistakenly advance in the wrong direction, and in a small village find themselves subjected to a steadily escalating attack by Vichy infantry with armor and artillery support. The green Gls know they're in the “big leagues” now—and, whether they like it or not, i's time to play ball, Here a ass the longawalted addition ofthe French tothe ASL family. Compared to the original Crescendo of Doom gamete, (CROIX DE GUERRE offers greatly expanded coverage of the French, in terms of both counters and historical research. Con tained in the module isnot only the entire ASL order of battle (all ‘weapon and vehicle counters) for the French during. 1939 and 1940, but also that of the subsequent Vichy regime's ‘overseas coloinies, plus many extra counters for the equipmen ‘used by the Free French but not inciuded in YANKS or WEST OF ALAMEIN.
