Idea for other mod: French resistance

[TheAllMihtyOne]

I gues this is cinda late for new mod suggestions but i just got this idea.

a mod with a new allied team as French resistance fighters or just french but with resistance fighters as a doctrine abilelty.

if the whole team is gonna be resistance fighters then this is my thoughts.

The buildings look civilian (barns, farmhousees, sheds) and they are most going for sabotage, stealth and rather hit adn run tactics. The infantry is easely armed with lee-einfields, stens, mp40 and K98K and they are not so good fighters though they are exelent at ambushes, stealth, sbaotage. with the upprage "Allied instructors" the infantry gets better at fighting and are able to plant explosive charges as the brittish and americans. The french have no at-guns, mgs or mortars of their own so they get "looted weapons" from the well hidden shed of non german buisniss, these include mgs, mortars and at-guns that get avaible for the amount of germans you kill. the french can also have special looting squads that are practicly unarmed but werry fast and they can loot corpses and wreaks of german units to gain munitions and they can grap un-crewed guns and quicly pull them back to HQ were some friends w8 to man it, these looting units culd also be the standard building unit. as for snipers they get those after the "allied instrucors" uppgrade and are just a standard pessant with a scoped rifle.

as for veicles they usse motorbikes, flat-bed trucks and other civilian veicles. they have no tanks though they can leater call in allied reinforcements as a doctrine abillety (like the one avaible for US infantery doctrine) other abiletis for the french resistance is "infiltrators" which is like the brittish decryption thing witch makes u see whet the krauts are building. also they can spawn from regular buildings as the fallshirmjägers. they are good at dissapearing if a enemy finds them, they easely loose anyone trying to tail them. their main way of defending against enemy heavy armour is to cut supplies and production line so that hopefully no tanks will ever get to the front. they can do different sabotage abilleties against enemy buildings witch makes units getting built there allready having a fault and needing repairs, or not fully employed so u need to reinforce a squad.

the new axis doctrine culd be meybe some cind of SS or Gestapo germans trying to stop the french resistance. and most misions in the campain is to blow up bridges, save brittish POW or evacuate downed pilots, and sabotage for the garmens.

Well i think it really not necesarry! БЛя ну кто всерьез воспринимал французав как военную силу?

I, bloody_hell. Free France is a good choice for moding: it is a new "race" without new vehicles. It is easier to moding than the USSR.
But I think that the Resistance can't be "race" because it isn't an army.

i agree i think this would make for a good expansion, hopefully this game can have as many as 6 or more militarily s in it, Poland being one of them. give the gamer a good selection and different strategies to work off of.

It isn't an army !?!
I'm french so ...
If the free france didn't exist, the world should be now in the III reich and the jewish will be all dead ! caus the free france (french resistance is better) sabotaged the german army and theirs defenses ...

So the french resistance was an army (for me) which participated to the liberation !!!

Jean Moulin etc etc http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jean_Moulin

Partisans aren't a regular army with armour, air force, and etc. Free France is.

Partisans aren't an army. Free France is.

hes got you there buddy

[UeArtemis]

I prefer a real army with uniforms, standard weapons, equipments, with armoured vehicles and tanks, divisions, not guerrillas.
Guerrillas exist not for open battles on fields. So my choice is Free France, not the Resistance. The Resistance is an armed resistance of civil people. Police too have guns and cars, but they aren't an army too. Guerrillas are saboteurs, not soldiers.
P.S. And Ukraine and Belarus, Poland have big "armies" of partisans, so world should not be now in the 3 Reich if only partisans defeat nazy...

This is a good idea but I'm not sure how well it would translate to CoH gameplay.
As the resistance would have no tanks, anti tank guns etc how would they really deal with German armoured units? If the German faction had significantly reduced numbers and maybe allowed 1 or two tanks max it may work, infiltrated units throwing sticky bombs and other homemade devices etc.

The direct control thingy from ToV would work quite well with small scale battles like that.

Nice idea though, keep working at it

I think that in the film The Longest Day the french had a tank. And they had MANY soldiers. And we could always throw some supplies around the place for the French. Maybe a campaign would work better than a Mod. No Multiplayer, otherwise the Germans will just laugh and walk through.

[WartyX]

An espionage single player campaign (cooperative!) would work well in my opinion. Think Commandos...

[Der Deutsche]

maybe this is something for a singelplayer campaign- in multiplayer they have no chance against a regular army, because they have no tanks, heavy artillery
if you want to be historical correct their infantry should be as weak as the volksgrenadiers because most of them had no military training

If the free france didn't exist, the world should be now in the III reich and the jewish will be all dead !

fthe  2 ww wasn´t won or decided by french- the resistance just hold a few german divisions in france- they did nothing that had a big influence on the war

Since I have made some tank skins for Normandy mod and I have some ideas about the Colonial infantry I like to watch an add on with free French forces ,but it need some new troop models for the African infantry and new helmets (adrian 1918) but it will be nice , I'm also working on French SAS unit ,I vote but in the future as interdependent mod .

I think it would be cooler to make a new gameplay (like panzerkreig, stonewall and assault).

You have a big city full of civilians where each team have a base in each side of the city, but only limited soldiers and vehichles.

So you have to use propaganda, supplies, fear and infiltration to make the civilians fight for you. And you conquer a part of the city if you have the civilians under control or friendly towards you in that that part.

Munition-halftracks could supply civilians, and you can send an officer and an execution squad(!) in to make the civilians fear you.

But is it possible to make new gameplays? At least it would be only for TOV, I guess.
