Re: Question about Corps Expéditionnaire Français en Extrême-Orient, French Indoch
Hey Pat.
There were 12 "Bisons" from Bernard de Lattre de Tassigny's old Regiment, not two, at DBP. Only two or three still functioned at the surrender though.
As for the support boat (this should interest you). In 1946-47, the French rebuilt some captured German S-Boots to use at river patrols.
The changes were:
-Strenghtened bow
-Closed torp tubes and remove torps.
-Adding a twin mg at the front and two Bofors on the middle and back, all in swivel mounts.
So the French did have better support craft available than those in game- I always liked the S-Boots.
