A portal similar to the Vietnam archive for the French would be amazing.

I will try to get in touch with the 2e Regiment de Dragons archive honchos somehow.

With my best French, of course...

Thanks Nicholas

"Palestro Sheet 43" is exactly the one we need.

@CQ

Due to the surprisingly increased interest about The Algerian War 1954-1962, I perhaps should open a brand new thread to allow all of us to brainstorm some scenario ideas, reference material and all things related to the subject. What do you guys think about it?

EDIT: Been playing around with helicopters... Oued Fodda - Helicopter add-on :)

Thank Oberst Klink, already scanned your blog and downloaded the "First Helicopter war" [:D]

I agree about a thread related to french "colonial" wars, I am doing a bit of research on the Tchad wars for a set of CMANO's scenarios.

Ciao Andrea!

Glad you appreciate the 'open source' studies and reference material I was able to find and post at the Hauptkampflinie ;)

I will create a specific War in Algeria 1954-1962 thread then. In case you find some material, in particular combat reports, OOBs, etc. feel free to share them, si?

Klink, Oberst
