Specifically, early-war TOE's. I'm making my MB mod for AE (more fool me), and want to have the French Army of Indochina active. I have an OOB, but I have no idea how the various sub-units were filled out.

NM, I found it myself.

So are you making the Vichy or FFA full combatants? I'm personally still considering adding the Vichy as a static, restricted force in Northern Indochina.

Terminus,

Here are a couple that I have been using.

Like I said, I found it myself. But thanks all the same.

I'm making Indochina a Free French territory. They basically told Japan to <expletive deleted> off, so the Japs have to take care of that too.

sorry did not see your second post, replied straight out of my email in box. After all that you all have done i get a little eager to return the favor[:D]

If Terminus can read French there are a lot of good websites.

The French Army? What's that?

Hi T,

Yeah, all the good French stuff is gonna be in French. I sent you some stuff. Maybe a good starting place is to snag this from a library somewhere:

Hesse d'Alzon, Claude. Guerre 1939-1945: La Presence Militaire Francaise en Indochine (1940-1945). [Vincennes, France]: Publications du Service Historique de l'Armee de Terre, 1985.

Historical Service does a pretty good job, and the tables ain't too hard to puzzle out [;)]

Ciao.

Heh. Merci, and all that...

I've got an army OOB finished, and am looking to move on to the air service (such as it is) and the naval stuff (which is more interesting).

Oooh, I'm eagerly looking forward to this.

Online translators seem to do pretty well with the major European languages, so the fact the sites are in French shouldn't be too much of a hurdle to clear. I'd be interested in seeing the sites as well.

Well, I CAN read French, albeit very slowly.

Do you already have squadron commanders and such?

No. Only the top echelon of Army of Indochina commanders has been entered, i.e. the two division and seven brigade commanders.

That's one of the two or three sites I've been using.

Okay so you already had the squadron commanders. You could have SAID THAT!!![:@][:)]

What about coastal defenses. Do you have already a source?

Well, the three coastal forts already in Indochina (Cam Rahn, Cap St. Jacques and Haiphong) have mysteriously changed ownership and nationality.

If the war is to start in September 1940 the Naval Bases they were still under French.
