The Road to Forgotten Hope 2.64 Compagnons - Part 7

Hello and welcome back to another Forgotten Hope 2 update.

Today we are nearly at the end of this set of Road to news, and as is typical we end on a summary of the new content coming in 2.64 Compagnons, but not before we get one last set of playermodels in.

The Tirailleurs Marocains were formed from auxiliary troops that had been formed in 1912 after the establishment of the French protectorate of Morocco. Their regular infantry units composed between 70 to 75% Moroccan soldiers. The various regiments would acquire some fame for their actions in the First World War and would also take part in various operations in the interwar period: the occupation of Rhenania, the Rif War and peace operations in Syria and Lebanon.

In 1940, 1er Régiment de Tirailleurs Marocains fought at Gembloux and was caught in the Lille pocket, helping delay German forces from destroying the Dunkirk pocket. Reconstituted in June 1940, it would be a part of the Armée d'Armistice and fought against the Allied intervention in Syria and resisted the Allied landings during Operation Torch at Port-Lyautey. After the rearmament of the French forces in North Africa by the Allies, it would liberate Corsica in September 1943, breakthrough the Gustav Line in Italy then would join the fight in Alsace in late 1944 before taking part in the encirclement of the Black Forest and the campaign for Austria in 1945. Our RTM playermodels were made by CptBocquier, from our US playermodels made by Remdul, with accessories by Harmonikater and heads by DICE.
