interesting testimony @Warts 'n' all
I have something a bit similar
My mother was 5 years old in 1944 and she remembers that in August 44 of a curious event.
She was liberated by the Poles and then the Canadians replaced them during the battle. Once it was over, she remembers an incident between Canadians and British (the 53rd Welch was in the area) the Canadians blaming the British for arriving after the battle.
The officers feeling the spirits warming up propose a "contest" where each demonstrates their mastery in the conduct of BrenCarriers by climbing piles of wood
A vehicle turns over, there are wounded, perhaps dead and there everything changes shots burst on both sides it takes all the coolness of the officers to resume the situation under the bewildered gaze of the French civilians
It is possible that the incident took place between French-speaking and English-speaking Canadians, although her mother evokes Canadians and British, ones speaking French therefore Canadian and the others English therefore British, she was only 5 years old .

Salut phil
The French army of 1940 just like the one that existed until 1990 is an army of conscripts (I was myself in the 51st regiment de transmission)
military service was compulsory and all defense concept rested on this conscription.
In 1940 the notion of elite troop was reserved for the "Chasseurs", of the Foreign Legion La Coloniale and to a certain extent every the " Regiment d'Afrique")
infantry regiments were supposed to be all of the same level
I think the Italians with their rigidity most resemble what the French units has been
the blue and conscript level seems ideal to me with an occasional "regular"
officers have a level of zero to -2

@BFCElvis - For pinning please.
 
Steve has let me off the proverbial leash to release some bones for CMBN in 2023.
 
Relive the opening days of the Normandy Campaign from the perspective of American and German forces fighting for control of the Cotentin Peninsula of France. From D-Day through to the 13th of June, take command of forces from the 4th Infantry, 101st and 82nd Airborne Divisions, as they fight for a foothold on the western edge of Operation Overlord. Alternatively, take command of German formations in the area, including the 6th Fallschirmjäger Regiment as it tries to hold back the Allied Invasion.
A Taster of Included Content
 
-          Three Campaigns
o   We Start Here – Follow the exploits of the 101st Airborne and 4th Infantry on D-Day. Follow the first paratroopers to hit the ground just after midnight, through to the evening of June 6th. Get off the beach.
o   Purple Heart Lane – Command the 101st Airborne from the Battle of Ste Come du Mont through to the Battle of Carentan.
§  A slight experiment in campaign design, allowing the player to fight a rolling battle at their own pace over several in game days. Can you keep pace with history or will the 17SS Panzer Grenadier Division arrive in time to make your task more difficult?
Current count, 110 scenario variants so that is quite a long campaign script.
§  A recreation of the Carentan Operation from Combat Mission: Beyond Overlord.
o   Fist of Iron – Take control of the 17SS Panzer Grenadier Division on the 13th of June as they launch their counterattack to retake Carentan. Can you defy history?
-          Scenarios (purposefully incomplete to leave some surprises)
o   La Madeleine / Tare Green – The 4th Infantry Division head north along the beach to clear the German Strongpoints.


o   Clash of Eagles – 101st Airborne and 6 Fallschirmjäger Regiment elements clash around Vierville.
o   Hill 30 – 101st Airborne try to hold the line southwest of Carentan against a determined 17SS Counter Attack.
-          Master Maps
o   Seven maps covering just over 70 square kilometres of now famous battlefields, recreated from Allied aerial photographs and D-Day planning maps from 1944.
-          (Possibly) Master Unit Files. In combination with the Master Maps will allow players to easily put together fight their own linked multiplayer campaign battles. [Let me know views on this one].
Requirements
 
Players will be required to own:
-          Combat Mission Battle for Normandy Base Game;
-          Commonwealth Forces Module;
-          Market Garden Module; and
-          Vehicle Pack.
 
Likely Questions
 
Why are we going back to D-Day?


When the CMBN base game was designed there was a conscious decision to focus on the US Army and German Heer forces only. This meant that key German formations that were fighting around the 101st Airborne area were not available. With Waffen SS and Fallschirmjäger formations now part of the game family we are able to recreate these famous engagements inside the CM2 engine. It's also a chance to present a number of different tactical scenario situations rarely used in previously in stock scenarios such as the use of naval gunfire, extensive fortifications, spotting victory point allocations etc.
Why the focus on the 101st Airborne? No love for the 82nd Airborne?


There are already a number of community made scenarios and maps available for players focusing on the exploits of the 82nd Airborne to the north of the location depicted in this Battle Pack. We didn’t want to crossover too heavily with the work the community had already undertaken.
Will any new formations or units be added to the CMBN family with this release?


No. Like other Battle Packs the focus is on campaigns and scenarios. Unlike Modules which focus on the new units and formations introduced, Battle Packs provide us the opportunity to mix and match all the content available in a game family.
What’s the release date?


When it is ready. This will be sometime after the CMBN Steam release. This pack has also been a bit different when compared to others to date. When this was announced at the start of the year the actual work had only just commenced rather than being in development for some time already. Saying that, the mapping is virtually complete and scenarios are being built.
How will I be able to get my hands on it?


From all the existing places you can currently buy Combat Mission products.
In the promotional photos that bush is 0.764 meters away from where it was historically!


Everything is a work in progress. Also, I suggest you may want another glass of a fermented vegetable drink.
Wait a minute who the hell are you?
One of the volunteer beta team. Like GeorgeMC and JonS before me, one of us generally leads a Battle Pack development though this time I've been lucky enough for a number of other betas to help out and get all that mapping done. Also dabbled in some modding and YouTube in previous years.
Can we see some pictures?
Oh alright.

@Falaise I am bringing the Soviet leather rifle ammo pouches over to CMFI for the mod. They look great BUT I need to adjust in Blender.
 

or you remove the cartridges and equipment and put them in "trompe l'oeil"

I'm away and bam there's something new!!
Here is a quick mod to "Normize" the Schimwagen
I painted the propeller, it was always painted and not metal color
i put blackout on the headlights and a little mud!!!
The camouflage could be better but the unit arrives from the Russian front and only had 2 hours to paint knowing that they did not sleep....

This is the RenaultZily  or ZilyRenault !
