Europe Europe remains central to world events being home to three major powers; France, Germany and Britain, as well as a host of lesser players. The long running peace and stability of the continent under French hegemony was shattered with the Reunification of Germany and the resulting war between France and Germany. Today an armed peace reigns in the region whilst the key European powers have been forced to defend their colonies from the alien threat of the Kafers.

Republic of Catalonia Army of Catalonia L Exercit de Catalunya L Exercit de Catalunya is administratively organized into five non-tactical divisions, each responsible for certain classes of units (infantry, cavalry, etc.), with the Infantry Division presently being the largest and most influential (itself formed in 2260 by the amalgamation of Infantry, Parachute, Mountain, and Light Divisions). Subordinate to these divisions are a mix of active and reserve battalion-sized regiments. Recruiting is a constant problem for the Catalan Army, with most active units at about 80% strength and reserves at less than 50% (though with full equipment sets), and so deploying units often are brought up to strength with a mix of reservists and members of other active units. Historically, regiments belonged to operational brigade headquarters with specific geographical areas of responsibility. However, with the diplomatic reduction of Spain as a threat to the nations integrity, standing brigades have been eliminated in favor of task organized brigade formations formed as needed for specific missions. Three active and one reserve brigade headquarters companies are organized, maintaining historic designations of 1er (Nord), 2on (Sud), 3er (Central), and 4rt (Barcelona) Esquadr de Quarter General, but have no permanent forces assigned or actual geographic areas of responsibility. Instead, these formations serve as the headquarters for Task Forces (Destacament de Forces) organized as needed for operational or training exercises. Currently there are two such operational formations established, Destacament de Forces 6 and Destacament de Forces 205 (Task Forces 6 and 205). Destacament de Forces 6 is presently deployed in Armenia as part of the international peace enforcement effort in that nation, while Destacament de Forces 205 is training up for deployment to the French Arm, where it will serve alongside Azanian forces performing counterinsurgency duties on Kimanjano. Though each of these task forces is under the command of a brigadier general, both are small formations for a true brigade, more resembling reinforced battalions, particularly Task Force 6. L Exercit de Catalunya is generally deficient in non-tooth arms, and fielding an actual brigade-sized force for overseas service would require extensive mobilization of reserve elements. As it is, the formation of two separate reinforced battalion Task Forces has proven to be a significant strain on the armys logistical capabilities.

Destacament de Forces 6 The Catalan component of the peace enforcement mission in Armenia, Task Force 6 is built around 6 Regiment d Infanteria Lleugera, augmented with two platoons of AC-8 hovertanks, a mechanized infantry company, and a platoon of special forces troops. DF 6s order of battle is as follows: 1er (Nord) Esquadr de Quarter General 6 Regiment d Infanteria Lleugera 1er Esquadr (-), 3er Regiment de Cavalleria (AC-8) 3er Esquadr, 5u Regiment de Cavalleria (VCIR) 8 Escamot, 29v Regiment de Fores Especial 101 Regiment de Logstica (-) Destacament de Forces 205 Presently training up for deployment to the French Arm to support Azanian counterinsurgency and mopping up operations on Kimajano, Task Force 205 is, as the name suggests, built around the 20th Mountain Regiment and 5th Cavalry Regiment. Presently, active duty combat arms units are supported by the mobilized 102nd Logistics Regiment, though it is expected that this unit will be augmented with elements of the active-duty 101st Regiment when that unit and the remainder of Task Force 6 return from Armenia. Destacament de Forces 205s deployment to assist the Azanian government is regarded by most observers as a further slight to Imperial France, as Catalonia is said to have declined contribution of a force to the multinational Division Europa (it is also rumored, however, that Azania is underwriting most of the costs of deployment for Task Force 205). Task Force 205 consists of an infantry regiment (the 20th Mountain Regiment, with the reconnaissance company from the 1st Parachute Regiment bringing the under strength 20th Regiment up to approximately full-strength) and an under strength cavalry regiment with one wheeled squadron (with VCIRs and ABR-76s) and one hover mobile squadron (AC-8 and AVCI3) plus regimental troops. Augmenting this force is a full company from the 29th Special Forces Regiment, a battery of rocket artillery, and a reinforced logistics regiment (officially listed as the 102nd Logistics Regiment, this unit is actually formed by the merging of both the 102nd and 103rd Regiments). Order of battle for the Task Force is as follows: 3er (Central) Esquadr de Quarter General 20 Regiment de Muntanyas 4rt Esquadr de Patrulla, 1er Regiment de Paracaigudistas 5u Regiment de Cavalleria (-) 2on Esquadr, 3er Regiment de Cavalleria 1er Esquadr, 29v Regiment de Fores Especial 2on Bateria, 4rt Regiment d Artilleria de Coet 1er Esquadr, 7 Regiment d Enginyeres 102 Regiment de Logstica

French Empire Commandement de Troupes Speciales French military special forces fall into one of three categories, known as the Premiere, Deuxime and Troisime Cercles. The 1e Cercle are the true elite of the French forces, strategic SF dedicated to operations across the French Empire and beyond. The 2e Cercle are SF assigned to specific theatres of operation either on Earth, Tirane, other colony worlds or in support of the Force d'Action Rapide. The 3e Cercle are high standard sub-units of elite conventional units that can be called upon to aid 1e or 2e Cercle units when required. The 3e Cercle includes units like the TIS infantry battalions and recce troops from FAR units, they can be called upon to provide extra firepower and manpower. Similarly the work of the 11e CHOC assigned to DGSE is not discussed here. The 1e and 2e Cercle units all come under the control of the Commandement de Troupes Spciales which is under the orders of a Gnral de Corps d' Arme or equivalent. The CTS is responsible for the overall administration, training and equipping of all French special forces regardless of parent arm or service. Consequently the CTS can be regarded as an armed service in its own right, albeit one that recruits only from the other services. CTS is the direct equivalent to the British UKSF or American SOCCOM. The forces assigned to the CTS are delegated in turn into four Groupements which are each designed to have a complete special forces capability and are allocated to a particular force or theatre, these are divisional level commands. There are also a number of independent units of battalion strength raised to operate in discrete theatres of operations, such as the Central Asian Republic or Aurore. Of the four GTS one falls within the 1e Cercle and the others the 2e Cercle as do the independent units, however despite the higher budget of the GTS TIS all of these forces are formidable and versatile formations. Each GTS contains forces that can operate in a variety of environments and units within them are almost always cross trained. For example a naval commando battalion will specialise in maritime warfare, but a para-commando battalion will also have maritime specialists. A GTS will usually also include supporting assets such as aircraft or landers to give the trooper's integral mobility. 1e Circle Groupment de Troupes Speciale de TIS I/1e Regiment Parachutiste d'Infanterie de Marine (I/1 RPIMa) 1e Compagnie - (RAPAS) 2e Compagnie - (RAPAS - Space) 3e Compagnie - (RAPAS - Maritime) 4e Compagnie - (RAPAS) I/2e Regiment Etragner de Parachutistes (I/2 REP) 1e Compagnie - (RAPAS) 2e Compagnie - (RAPAS) 3e Compagnie - (RAPAS Maritime) 4e Compagnie - (RAPAS Space) 2e Groupment Fusiliers-Marins Commandos (2 GRUFUMARCO) Commando de Montfort Commando Bielkiewicz Commando Hubert Commando Haas 7e Fusiliers-Voltigeurs-Marins Spatial (7 FUVOLMARS) 7 Platoons 2e Circle Groupement de Troupes Speciales Terrestres II/1e Regiment Parachutiste d'Infanterie de Marine (II/1 RPIMa) 1e Compagnie - (RAPAS) 2e Compagnie - (RAPAS - Maritime) 3e Compagnie - (RAPAS) 4e Compagnie - (RAPAS) 1e Regiment Para-Commando d'Afrique (1 RPCA) 1e Compagnie (RAPAS)

Highly trained and lightly equipped, the TIS work with the French Space Navy to prop up French foreign policy anywhere in the human sphere. The TIS are made up of four 'Brigades d' Intervention' all manned by Foreign Legion or Marine Para battalions. A further three special operations force battalions are also present. 1e Brigade d'Intervention Pais Francais, BCV-4 2e Brigade d'Intervention Nouveau Provence, Tirane 3e Brigade d'Intervention France, Earth 3e BI Compangnie de Commandment et de Soutain (3e BI CCS) II/2e Regiment Parachutiste d'Infanterie de Marine (II/2 RPIMa) Combat Walker I/3e Regiment Parachutiste d'Infanterie de Marine (I/3 RPIMa) II/8e Regiment Parachutiste d'Infanterie de Marine (II/8 RPIMa) 3e Compangnie de Genie de Parachutistes (3 CGP) 3e Compangnie d'Artillery d'Elite de Parachutistes (3 CAEP) 4e Brigade d'Intervention France, Earth

FAR is tasked for a whole range of duties from counter-insurgency to providing a bridgehead for follow on forces from the Arme de la Manouvre. FAR troops are all regulars and trained to a higher standard in a wider variety of skills than their Arme de la Manouvre counterparts, but lack the heavy equipment of those forces. 1e Division Legere Blindee deployed with 19e Corps, L'Armee de Liberation 27e Division Alpins 4e Regiment de Chasseurs (4 RCh) Recce I/6e Regiment de Chasseurs Alpins (I/6 RCA) I/11e Regiment de Chasseurs Alpins (I/11 RCA) I/13e Regiment de Chasseurs Alpins (I/13 RCA) I/159e Regiment d'Infanterie Alpins (I/159 RIA) I/6e Regiment de Chasseurs de Tirane (I/6 RCT) 9e Division d'Infanterie Marine detached to 2e Corps, L'Armee de Liberation 11e Division Parachutiste (Les Paras Bleues) deployed with 19e Corps, L'Armee de Liberation, II/4 RCP detached to 14e Corps, L'Armee d'Aurore L'Armee de la Manouvre The Arme de la Manouvre is the main component of French power projection on and off Earth. It is composed entirely of regular, all-volunteer soldiers from the Metropolitan Army. Whilst the Lgion trangre and other units of the Force d' Action Rapide gain all the glory it is the Arme de la Manouvre that has born the brunt of the fighting in the Central Asian, German Reunification and Flemish Independence Wars. Additionally the Arme de la Manouvre has found large troop contributions for deployments on the Kafer Arm. Currently the Arme de la Manouvre is massed in European France and still focused on the threat from the new German Republic. However contingency plans are underway to shift one of the Corps along the French Arm. And more may follow should the situation deteriorate further. 2e Corps assigned to L'Armee de Liberation. 1e Division Blindee deployed with 2e Corps, L'Armee de Liberation 1e Division de la Marche 1e Regiment d'Aero-Dragons (1 RD) Recce 2e Chasseurs d'Afrique (2 ChA) 12e Regiment d'Aero-Cuirassiers (12 RC) 5e Regiment d'Aero-Dragons (5 RD) I/67e Regiment d'Infanterie (I/67 RI) Regiment de Carbiniers 'Prins Boudewijn' (RCPB) 14e Regiment de Tirailleurs Algeriens (14 RTA) 12e Division de la Marche 4e Regiment de Hussards (4 RH) Recce 12e Spahis Algeriens (12 SA) 1e Regiment d'Aero-Chasseurs (1 RCh) 5e Regiment d'Aero-Dragons (5 RD) I/2e Regiment de Zouaves (I/2 RZ) 24e Groupment Chasseurs (24 GC) I/81e Regiment d'Infanterie (I/81 RI) 3e Division Airmobile deployed with 2e Corps, L'Armee de Liberation 3e Corps France, Earth

L'Armee Territoriale de l'Hexegone (ATH) The L' Arme Territoriale de l' Hexegone is the back-bone of the defence of European France. However it is mostly composed of soldiers undertaking 2 years Voluntary National Service and as such it is not really combat worthy for anything other than defensive tasks. However in recent years it has provided contingents of troops to the Arme de la Manouvre for service in the Central Asian Republic. It also was called out for German Reunification and Flemish Independence War. These ATH units proved capable of holding their own against German forces on the central Rhineland front where the heavy urbanisation made manoeuvre warfare difficult. However those forces covering the northern flank suffered very badly when overrun by German armoured thrust through the Ardennes that was only just stopped at the Battle of the Somme. The recent re-organisation have moved these divisions from their age old locations and to other bases. It has also brought in a regular infantry battalion (these are the 1st battalions) into each division to stiffen the forces. The divisional combat walker battalions are still equipped with the obsolete BH-18, but replacement with BH-21's has begun in high-priority units. The standard vehicle is the ABR-76 in its many variants, overproduction of which during the War of German Reunification and subsequent disbandment of the old style DLB has produced enough to equip most DI's. The ATH also includes in its jurisdiction several small garrisons around the world, which report directly back to France. These are manned mostly by Marine and Legion troops with some local forces. 1e Corps 12e Division d'Infanterie 5e Rgiment de Hussards (5e RH) II/81e Rgiment d' Infanterie (II/81e RI) Combat Walker I/122e Rgiment d' Infanterie (I/122e RI) II/67e Rgiment d' Infanterie (II/67e RI) III/67e Rgiment d' Infanterie (III/67e RI) II/150e Rgiment d' Infanterie (II/150e RI) III/150e Rgiment d' Infanterie (III/150e RI) 21e Division d' Infanterie 6e Rgiment de Chasseurs (6e RCh) IV/81e Rgiment d' Infanterie (IV/81e RI) Combat Walker I/152e Rgiment d' Infanterie (I/152e RI) II/22e Rgiment d' Infanterie (II/22e RI) III/22e Rgiment d' Infanterie (III/22e RI) II/94e Rgiment d' Infanterie (II/94e RI) III/94e Rgiment d' Infanterie (III/94e RI) 22e Division d'Infanterie 1e Rgiment de Guides (1e RGB) III/81e Rgiment d' Infanterie (III/81e RI) Combat Walker I/110e Rgiment d' Infanterie (I/110e RI) II/35e Rgiment d' Infanterie (II/35e RI)

L'Armee Territoriale de l'Afrique Occidentale (ATAO) 4e Corps The 4e Corps (or Corps Algriens) of the French Metropolitan Army is a part of the Arme Territoriale de l' Afrique Occidentale, yet it has a much wider role than one of territorial defence. The 4e Corps (and its predecessors) have provided troops for every French campaign since 2020, and are regarded as some of the finest French fighting troops. Unlike the other French African Corps the 4e Corps is recruited entirely from Algeria. Algerian raised units also serve within the L' Arme de la Manouvre, and one regiment is also stationed on Tirane. The 4e Corps provided two Division de la Marche (old Campaign divisions not the modern units) for the Central Asian War, where the 'Turcos' reinforced their fearsome reputation in fighting against Manchu troops and irregulars. The 4 e Division de

la Marche took part in the War of German Reunification seeing action in the Rhineland Offensive. Some units of the Corps, especially the 15e DM are being stood to, to possibly take part in the Kafer War. All of the Corps' divisions except the 106e Division d' Infanterie are organised conventionally. The 4e Corps is equipped with the latest French military hardware. The only threat to the Corps comes from occasional raids from Berbera, however the southern part of the region is so arid and the response from the 106e DI so fierce these are increasingly infrequent. The Corps also undertakes frequent exercises in allied Morocco and Tunisia. 5e Spahis Algeriens (5 SA) Corps Recce 6e Division Blindee 4e Division de la Marche 15e Division de la Marche 2e Division Aeromobile 101e Division d'Infanterie 102e Division d'Infanterie 106e Division d'Infanterie The 106e DI is a unique body within the French Armed forces. It is both an elite force of desert fighters and the worst military punishment available to officers of recalcitrant men. The three battalions of the 'Joyeaux' are within this unit as is the 1st Battalion of the 6e RIE, to which non-petty military criminals are sent. The 106e DI is stationed on the edge of the Sahara in a series of remote forts where the life style is incredibly stark, and broken only by military exercises which have the highest fatality rates of any French unit anywhere. Yet in spite of this the 106e also includes some excellent volunteer units recruited from the inhabitants of the region who have acquired almost unsurpassed skills in fighting in there home areas and have a reputation almost as savage as the military convicts they fight alongside. Also attached units are composed of some excellent specialists, the I/4 e Zouaves have done much work to expand the use of combat walkers in arid environments. The Division has never fought as a whole but the 2e Joyeaux and I/6e RIE fought with the GMLE in the Central Asian War as did elements of the I/4e Zouaves. The 3e Joyeaux were sent to the Aurore garrison in 2301. 2e Spahis Algeriens (2 SA) Recce I/4e Regiment de Zouaves (I/4 RZ) Combat Walker 1e Batallion d'Afrique (1 Bat d'Af) [1e Joyeaux] 2e Batallion d'Afrique (2 Bat d'Af) [2e Joyeaux] 3e Batallion d'Afrique (3 Bat d'Af) [3e Joyeaux] detached to Troupes d'Armee d'Aurore 2e Regiment de Tirailleurs Algeriens (2 RTA) I/6e Regiment Etranger d'Infanterie (I/6 REI) 10e Corps The 10e Corps is drawn from and provides the defence for French West Africa, notably the territories of Senegal, the Guinea Coast and Burkina Faso. 10e Corps suffers from two major continuing operational commitments, the continuing political and ethnic instability in Liberia and low-level guerrilla attacks from Berbera. An increasing worry for local and national politicians is the anti-French stance adopted by Mali, which has begun to gain some support amongst the populations in the southern areas of Senegal. 10e Division Blindee 16e Division de la Marche 19e Division de la Marche 6e Division Aeromobile 107e Division d'Infanterie 108e Division d'Infanterie 111e Division d'Infanterie L'Armee Territoriale de l'Afrique Centrale (ATAC) The ATAC is the French Army covering the French Empire's equatorial African territories and Djibouti. The ATAC lacks any immediate threat which it must opposed but the Army is frequently committed to the teaming cities of the area to counter civil disturbances. Similarly long-running but low key insurgencies are a common factor in the area. 5e Corps The 5e Corps covers the territories of Djibouti, Gabon, Cameroon and Chad. Obviously as Djibouti is not geographically linked to the other areas the 11e DB and 8e DAM have a fair degree of operational independence. The rest of the Corps is dedicated to internal security tasks and protecting the Beanstalk in Libreville, which is also the location of the Corps HQ.

With exception of a long-running campaign of civil disobedience in the east by Rwandan and Burundian Tustsi, Zaire is relatively peaceful. Kinshasa's large paramilitary Gendarmerie has relived the need for military intervention in rioting in all but the most extreme cases. However forces in Katanga have been fighting a long running proxy war with Anzanian backed forces in the area. Both members of the ESA, Paris and Capetown have good relations but local administrators allow their rivalries to express themselves in a covert war either side of the border. Whilst the other three Corps of the Arme d' Afrique tend to keep the composition of their units static through the years, 11e Corps regularly rotates its battalions and has also begun a series of exchange postings with 5e Corps. The Corps commander hopes to extend this program to the other French Armies on Earth, and possibly to the colonies. 7e Division Blindee Kinshasa, Congo 11e Division de la Marche Kamina, Congo 18e Division de la Marche Brazzaville, Congo 7e Division Aeromobile Kinshasa, Congo (one battalion forward-deployed to Katanga Provence, Congo) 105e Division d'Infanterie Kisangani, Congo 109e Division d'Infanterie Katanga Provence, Congo 110e Division d'Infanterie Brazzaville, Congo L'Armee Coloniale Pais Francais Beta Canum Venaticorum Beta Canum Venaticorum-4 Nouvelle Europe Beowulf Queen Alice's Star Frome Kimanjano DM+34 2342 The world of Kimanjano is somewhat un-welcoming for its colonists from France and Azanian, but this wealthy colony has little in the way of strife or conflict and so needs little in the way of ground defense or internal security support for the Gendarmerie. However its strategic position has given it an increased importance and it has become the site of the French Local Strategic Reserve. The reserve is composed entirely of crack Foreign Legion or Marine combat units that can be dispatched to any trouble spot on the Arm. However it should be noted that these are not assault troops with the capacity to invade planetary systems but simply reinforcements. 209e Division d'Infanterie I/1e Rgiment Etranger d' Infanterie (II/1e REI) II/3e Rgiment Etranger d' Infanterie (II/3e REI) II/5e Rgiment Etranger d' Infanterie (II/5e REI) II/13e Demi-Brigade de la Lgion trangre (II/13e DBLE) III/13e Demi-Brigade de la Lgion trangre (III/13e DBLE) III/2e Rgiment d' Infanterie de Marine (III/2e RIMa) 212e Division d'Infanterie I/6e Rgiment d' Infanterie Coloniale (I/6e RIC) II/6e Rgiment d' Infanterie Coloniale (II/6e RIC) I/Rgiment Noire de Tirailleurs de Kimanjano (I/RNTK) II/Rgiment Noire de Tirailleurs de Kimanjano (II/RNTK) III/Rgiment Noire de Tirailleurs de Kimanjano (III/RNTK) I/Rgiment Grise de Tirailleurs de Kimanjano (I/RGTK) II/Rgiment Grise de Tirailleurs de Kimanjano (II/RGTK) Saint Benoit Alderhorst Vogelheim

The numbers of troops on Adlerhorst are restricted by the terms of the Treaty of Darwin that saw the deployment of Anglophone peacekeepers to the planet to halt the inter-colonial violence. However the troops that remain are of excellent quality, with the Militia units being almost full-time troops in terms of their training commitment. In addition the Gendarmerie has a large contingent of paramilitary reserve formations that most observers believe could act as passable infantry in times of tension. 210e Division d'Infanterie Rgiment de Hussards d' Aigle de la Nuit (RHAN) III/1e Rgiment d' Infanterie de Marine (III/1e RIMa) I/9e Rgiment d' Infanterie Coloniale (I/9e RIC) II/9e Rgiment d' Infanterie Coloniale (II/9e RIC) III/9e Rgiment d' Infanterie Coloniale (III/9e RIC) I/1e Rgiment de Fusiliers de Saint Benoit (I/1e RFSB) II/1e Rgiment de Fusiliers de Saint Benoit (II/1e RFSB) Nous Voila Beta Comae Berenices The colony world of BCB is occupied entirely by the French and so there is little tension in the area. There are only three militia battalions recruited from the major towns and being little more than social organizations. Although the Gendarmerie has a number of reserve units these are usually only used for extra policing during the occasional public demonstration. However the pastoral state has proved excellent for the placement of a commando and patrol school, to which two battalions are normally assigned permanently and detachments from other units rotate through.

2e Corps Frome, Kimanjano, DM+34 2342 2e Corps was assigned to the Arme de Libration from the Arme de Manuvre to give some much needed fighting power to supplement the lightly equipped FAREM. The 2e Corps brought with it several of its major units, but most importantly the framework to fight a fast moving high intensity battle with Kafer field forces. The plan for the liberation of Kimanjano was for the FAREM/19e Corps to assault to seize the planet head and then for 2e Corps to take the main battle to the Kafers. Ultimately the 2e Corps role in the Battle of Fromme, isolating the city and destroying the mobile Kafer reserves was the vital one. The Corps went on to complete the liberation of the Azanian colony and oversee mopping up operations. The Corps is engaged in planning defensive operations, contingency planning for further operations and rebuilding the local Kimanjano defence forces. It is expected that should a Kafer assault again threaten the Cluster then 2e Corps will assume the main responsibility for the battle, but 19e Corps will run any offensive operations or limited strikes into the Eta Bootis Finger. Currently 2e Corps' major problem is in supporting its forces on a world badly damaged in the fighting and they are reliant on supplies from Beowulf. 2e Division Legere Blindee 14e Regiment d'Aero-Dragons Parachutiste de Tirane (14 RDPT) Recce 1e Regiment Etranger de Cavalerie (1 REC) 12e Chasseurs d'Afrique (12 ChA) 2e Regiment d'Aero-Hussards de Tirane (2 RHT) I/2e Regiment Etranger d'Infanterie (I/2 REI) III/Regiment de Tirailleurs du Tschad (III/RTT) I/6e Regiment d'Infanterie de Tirane (I/6 RIT) 2e Division de Marche Coloniale 1e Rgiment de Chasseurs de Kimanjano (1 RCK) I/2e Rgiment de Cavalerie Coloniale (I/2 RCC) III/2e Rgiment de Cavalerie Coloniale (III/2 RCC) II/3e Rgiment tranger d'Infanterie (II/3e REI) II/13e Demi-Brigade de la Lgion trangre (II/13 DBLE) I/6e Rgiment d'Infanterie Coloniale (I/6e RIC)

II Polish Corps - Nous Voila, Beta Comae Berenices The II Polish Expeditionary Corps is the only higher foreign formation permanently assigned to the Arme. The corps has a dual role, it is responsible for co-ordinating Arme efforts on Nous Voila (partly a political effort by the French to restore links with the Poles) and for supporting Polish forces operating with the Ukrainians in the Arme d' Aurore. Currently the Corps has one French Infantry Division, two Polish brigade sized Battle Groups and a Anglo-Dutch Royal Marines Brigade under command. Efforts on Nous Voila are concentrated on delivering humanitarian aid, suppressing marauders and rebuilding local forces. Most of the Corps' support troops are operating in an infantry role. 104e Division d'Infanterie 24e Chasseurs d' Afrique (24e ChA) V/ Rgiment de Tirailleurs du Tchad (V/ RTT) - (CW) II/ Rgiment de Tirailleurs du Tchad (II/ RTT) 5e Rgiment de Tirailleurs de Cameroun (5e RTCa) VII/ Rgiment de Tirailleurs du Tchad (VII/ RTT) VIII/ Rgiment de Tirailleurs du Tchad (VIII/ RTT) IX/ Rgiment de Tirailleurs du Tchad (IX/ RTT) Battle Group 'Maczek', 1st Kiev Armoured Cavalry Division (Poland) Battle Group 'Sosabowski', 6th 'Czestochowa' Air Assault Division (Poland)

German Empire High Command of the German Armed Forces Oberkommando des Deutsches Bundeswehr (OKDB) Germany has a single Defence HQ which controls all of the Corps of the German Army, even those on other worlds (if only nominally), in addition to naval, air and space force assets. On Earth there are a number of army troops placed under the direct command of the OKDB. OKDB Troops 1 Airlanding (Luftlande) Division The airlanding division was formed from the Bavarian airlanding division reinforced with specialist units from Saxony, Hannover and Brandenburg. The role of the 'Green Devils' is theatre entry, counter-desant, urban combat and peacekeeping missions. In time of war each brigade would be assigned to individual Corps to bolster the reserve infantry brigades. The division is manned with the cream of the conscript intake and many veterans go onto join Jger Brigades of the Kolonial Corps. 27 Airborne (Fallschirmjager) Brigade 271 Para Battalion 272 Para Battalion 273 Para Battalion 28 Airborne (Fallschirmjager) Brigade 281 Para Battalion 282 Para Battalion 283 Para Battalion 29 Airborne (Fallschirmjager) Brigade 291 Para Battalion 292 Para Battalion 293 Para Battalion 33 Air Assault (Luftangriff) Brigade The air assault brigade is an out-growth of the Sturmtaktik concept applied to the depth battle. It involves the insertion of small bodies of highly trained and motivated soldiers in lightning assaults on enemy key points in an attempt to alter the tactical battle. The division includes only three battalion sized formations but has integral air support. In the event of hostilities these units would be assigned to missions chosen by OKDB at the request of individual Corps. KampfGroup 331 KampfGroup 332 KampfGroup 333 39 Jager Brigade 39.Jg.Bde is the controlling HQ for Germany's special operations forces on Earth. Germany has traditionally relied on heavy armour rather than commandos in its wars. Following the Reunification the various state units were reorganised and consolidated into a single brigade. It was noticeable that Bavarian and Westphalian units fared relatively badly in this reorganisation as some doubts were professed over the closeness of their relations with their French counterparts. This was perhaps more a case of internal politics than reality. Kdo.Abt.391 are a traditional SAS style multi-role SF unit. Kdo.Abt.392 is a more cloak and dagger unit with the emphasis on infiltration, sabotage and covert operations, it works closely with the BND. It continues to operate outside of Germany's borders and has become a bogeyman figure to neighboring states. Kdo.Abt.393 and 394 are commando/ranger style units that can operate as raiders or in support to other 39.Jg.Bde units. Troops from the brigade provide the manpower for the colonial Sonderverbands. 391st Commando Battalion 'Braunschweig (Kdo.Abt.391) 392nd Commando Battalion 'Brandenburg (Kdo.Abt.392) 393rd Commando Battalion 'Steiner' (Kdo.Abt.392) 394th Commando Battalion 'Balck' (Kdo.Abt.394)

German Army Deutsches Bundeswehr I Corps I Corps is the main formation tasked with defending Germany's western border. Put simply it is the Bundesrepublik's first line of defence should war with France break out again. During the war it was responsible for the southern half of the battlefront and took the main thrust of the French offensive in Baden.

Rapidly federalised it was placed under the operational command of the newly formed LkPzGr Division 'Deutschland' for the War with France. It was involved in numerous point assaults against French airmobile infantry redoubts on the advance to the Somme, but during the Battle of Picardy the depleted unit eventually failed to adequately suppress the French light anti-tank screen and a war winning break out was prevented. Nevertheless the unit had proven the Sturmtaktik concept and paved the way for the creation of other such units. The brigade was rebuilt and re-assigned as a Corps asset. Lift Panzer Sturmtaktik Bn 301 Lift Panzer Sturmtaktik Bn 302 Lift Panzer Bn 303 1 Reconnaissance Group (ReconGroup) II Corps II Corps was formed in the autumn of 2292 to provide a force for the protection of the eastern parts of Germany. It was the lead formation in the occupation of key points in Bavaria, a job it conducted admirably, even after provocation by antiReunificationist elements in the Bavarian military. When the war erupted II Corps was rapidly moved into the area around Frankfurt where it took the lead for operations against the French in the north. Today it is responsible for the security of eastern Germany. The Corps HQ is located in Potsdam. Lift Panzergrenadier Division 'Wiedervereinigung' LkPzGren Division 'Wiedervereinigung' was formed in the aftermath of the War when some in the higher echelons were concerned about the variation in performance of some of the national army divisions. A complete reform of the army was mooted, but in the end only one completely new division was formed. The Division is named for the Reunification. The division has the usual three brigade structure of 'named' divisions and is based around Neustrelitz in Eastern Germany.

Lift Panzer Bn 244 1 Lift Panzer Division 1.LkPz Division is the direct descendent of the original Bundeswehr's 1.Pz.Division. It had a distinguished record in WWIII spearheading several NATO attacks. At the end of the war it found itself garrisoning Bremerhaven and became the backbone of an enclave along the lower Weser. The division was incorporated into the Hanoverian Army in the late 2000's and served with it ever since. The division occupied Stuttgart in 2291 and was later one of the first units in action against the French and was very badly damaged but is now rebuilt.

The division was originally equipped with new build AC-10's built in the Ruhr but re-equipped with the very inferior LkPz-VIII before the outbreak of hostilities and reorganised to the new Bundeswehr organisation. 3.LkPz.Div was one of the first German units to see action probing across the Rhine attempting to break up the French assaults. It was eventually forced back into the suburbs of Frankfurt where it formed various KampfGroup. At the end of hostilities the remnants of the force were combined with elements of the newly federalised 1st Panzer Brigade which was badly damaged in Picardy. The division was first in line for re-equipment with the LkPz-IX fresh from the factories. It is currently deployed with II Corps in Saxony in the area around Erfurt.

III Corps III Corps was formed early in 2293 in response to the growing tension with France and the continuing absence of II Corps deployed in Bavaria. The Corps was to beef up defences on the Polish border, but initially it was a formation of dubious quality. It was composed of the newly organised Deutschland Division and the disaffected 7.Pz.Div, however its Westphalian commander threw it into a series of exercises to knit it together. III Corps was launched into the pivotal assault through the Ardennes that ended in the Battle of Picardy which forced the Armistice and French acceptance of Bavaria's integration into Germany. Although a far from flawless performance the Corps gained great renown from its assault and today retains the pivotal reserve role. Lift Panzergrenadier Division 'Deutschland' The 'Deutschland' Division was formed in 2292 as an echo of the mooted pan-German unit that was proposed for the Central Asian War. It was formed from volunteers from across the German States and intended to be the figure-head unit of the Bundeswehr and was a top priority. However unlike its sister Division 'Lehr' few of the soldiers were veterans and many were more motivated by nationalism than professionalism. Having existed for only six months the division was really unfit to be deployed on active service but bolstered by an experimental Bavarian Sturmtaktik brigade it took part in the assault through the Ardennes. It proved itself in flanking operations but came unstuck in its first divisional set-piece battle which ended the German attempt to reach Paris. The division's troops were exceptionally brave, continuing to attack after severe casualties but their units and leaders lacked experience and cohesion. Nevertheless the unit was lionised in the press on its return, much to the disgust of the divisional commander. He responded by rebuilding the unit and bringing in innovative training systems, promoting talented leaders and ruthlessly sacking the dead wood. By 2295 the division was recognised as one of the finest in the Bundeswehr, and maintaining this position has become a unit tradition. The tightly disciplined soldiers of the division are fit, aggressive and not a little arrogant, but they believe they have earned the right.

Originally the Deutsche Legion, it was one of the units converted to a LkPz Division in the national army, although not without protest from the traditionalist legionnaires. It played a spearhead role with III Corps assault through the Ardennes and broke the French covering forces at the Meuse but was unable to force a win at the Battle of Picardy. The 7.LkPz found itself in disfavour with both political and military authorities, due to the constant complaints about the conduct of the war from all ranks of the division. It found itself denied the laurels it believed were its due in spite of a fine showing in battle. After the war the division was one of the first to be rebuilt with newly enlisted conscripts and NCO's brought in from outside the division. Many of the newly redundant 'old and bold' regular soldiers would enlist with the British Royal German Legion, in the same way that disgruntled Bavarian troops flocked to the French Lgion trangre. Since then the division has been somewhat rehabilitated and has regained some of its old lan and elements of its previous history recognised. Its rivalry with the 'Deutschland' is unabated however.

It has no Tactical HQ elements as all Kolonial Corps forces are operationally subordinate to other commands. However IX Corps is responsible for training and recruiting all of their units and individuals before they deploy from Earth. Smaller depots are established at Neubayern and Beta Canum for recruits from the colonies. IX Corps recruits exclusively from German citizens who have already served at least two years with either national or state armies as conscripts or volunteers. Its training program is a short 10 weeks to ensure the fitness of the recruit and bring them up to speed on Kolonial Corps procedures. This recruitment of experienced soldiers has resulted in IX Corps units being regarded as superior to most of their colleagues. Many units have a backbone of veteran NCO and officers with experience in the War of Reunification. The corps' units are all regular. The corps consists of two strong Panzer Grenadier divisions and a number of independent brigade groups. The two divisions were previously Bavarian divisions with expeditionary taskings. The Jgers are mostly formed from a re-organisation of the old Bavarian 22nd Kolonial Jger Division. A recent addition since the Reunification war and the Heidelsheimat stand-off is the assault landing brigade, Germany's new 'fire brigade'.

4 Colonial Lift Panzergrenadier Division 4.LkPzGren.Div was formerly the Bavarian ready division stationed on the French Arm with units at Neubayern and BCV. However since the War it now has responsibility for the Core, American and Chinese Arms and is based on Earth. One of its brigades was transferred to 8.LkPzGren.Div and was replaced by a brigade recruited from expatriates from the Tiranean colony of Freihafen (originally known as Garten) which declared independence as a result of the War. This brigade is noted for its professionalism and strongly nationalist sentiment, part of the brigade has been on stand-by for possible intervention on Heidelsheimat for several years. The remaining brigade, 26.LkPzGren, in the division is nominally a reserve brigade but in reality provides cover for a special operations unit equipped with French, Polish and Czech equipment. Utilising elements of the old Westphalian 1st Pz Bde the unit is tasked to cause havoc and confusion behind enemy lines in war. Secrecy is fierce around the unit.

This division is now the German Army's heavy combat force in the French Arm. Stationed at BCV when post-War tensions climbed it also commands 14.LkPz.Bde which is based on Vogelheim. 8.LkPzGren.Div has sent combat forces to Eta Bootis, and is prepared to send other units at company to KampfGroup size should conflict on Aurore escalate further. The division is equipped with modern AFVs except for 14.LkPzGren.Bde which is based on LkPz-VIII's to comply with arms reductions measures on Vogelheim imposed by the Treaty of Darwin.

The brigade is especially skilled due to its dual surface/orbital role and training and is considered an elite. Jger Bn 341 Jger Bn 342 Jger Bn 343 35 Jger Brigade Originally a part of the 22nd Jg Division and based on BCV this brigade saw limited action in the Reunification War, mostly in hunting for French special forces. With 36 Brigade's arrival at BCV 35 Bde was transferred to Joi where it remains. Jger Bn 351 Jger Bn 352 Jger Bn 353 36 Jger Brigade 36.Jg.Bde was formed in 2291 as a battalion of German soldiers who had deserted from the Lgion trangre when the crisis leading up to the Reunification War began. They fought in the battles for Stuttgart and Frankfurt earning no mean reputation, especially for the ferocity of their meetings with Foreign Legion units. With the armistice the unit was rebuilt and expanded thanks to a further influx of former Legionnaires and volunteers from Garten/Freihafen and some from Heidelsheimat. It was sent to BCV in 2293 in response to tensions between French and German colonies on that world. The brigade remains there to this day and has a fine reputation for its military skills. Jger Bn 361 Jger Bn 362 Jger Bn 363 37 Jger Brigade 37.Jg.Bde exists only as an administrative formation. It is responsible for the Jger battalions based at Dunkelheim and Vogelheim. The Vogelheim battalion has its own skills thanks to its high profile role as the lead German force on Vogelheim and liaisons with their French neighbours and international peacekeepers are sometimes heated. Elements of Jg.Btl.372 have also been deployed against anti-Reunificationist elements on Adlerhorst. The Dunkelheim battalion has a long association with that world from when the colony was a penal facility. In spite of occasionally being called in to beef up the local police or in suppressing banditry it retained a remarkably low profile. The leadership of the battalion was purged in the years after Reunification after being seen as being 'too close' to the civilian leadership toying with a move towards independence. Indeed there has been a gradual shift of Bavarians and Dunkelheimers out of the unit with others, mainly North Germans and Saxons coming in. Relations with the civilian community have become slightly strained. Jger Batallion 371 - Dunkelheim Jger Batallion 372- Vogelheim 38 Interface Assault (Orbitallande) Brigade 38 Brigade is trained as a specialist intervention force working closely with the DSKM/DSM and the other Kolonial Jger brigades. It's soldiers are hand picked from the IX Corps Jger and other Airborne (Fallschirmjger) units, and it is intended for the unit to form the spearhead of any German colonial interventions. For some time the unit has been involved in contingency planning for operations against Heidelsheimat should a political decision be made that this is required. The brigade's main problem is the lack of dedicated assault shipping, as German ship-building is dedicated to building warships they will be forced to rely on the old Bavarian fast troop ships for some time to come. Jger Bn 381 Jger Bn 382 Jger Bn 383 Germany has two special forces organisations on the French Arm, about which little is known. Although French propaganda about Sonderverband 1's activities on Joi during and after the Elysian War make interesting reading. Elements of Sonderverband 2 have been active on Vogelheim.

IV Reserve Corps 52 Bavarian Lift Panzergrenadier Division This division has been recently created by combining and expanding two PKR's and the HQ of a disbanded division. Bavaria had several PKR's, independent light armoured groups of KampfGroup size ideal for screening and expeditionary operations and descended from US Cavalry units. These were well regarded and produced many influential officers, but PKR 11 was strongly opposed to Reunification and was disbanded after clashing with Saxon national army units. As a sop to the PKR lobby this new division was formed and has quickly gained a strong reputation and esprit de corps. PKR 8 won a fine reputation in the WoGR striking deep into Alsace out of the Black Forest region and hitting the flanks of the French forces attacking towards Stuttgart. PKR 7 was stationed on Tirane and voted to repatriate itself in 2293 and it still has many Freihafeners in its ranks. The division is based in the area around Fulda.

One potential role is in covering the Czech and Austrovenian borders in the case of renewed tension with France. 501 Bavarian Reserve Panzerjger Brigade Bavarian Jger Bn 5011 Bavarian Jger Bn 5012 Bavarian Jger Bn 5013 502 Bavarian Reserve Panzerjger Brigade Bavarian Jger Bn 5021 Bavarian Jger Bn 5022 Bavarian Jger Bn 5023 503 Bavarian Reserve Panzerjger Brigade Bavarian Jger Bn 5031 Bavarian Jger Bn 5032 Bavarian Jger Bn 5033 504 Bavarian Reserve Panzerjger Brigade Bavarian Jger Bn 5041 Bavarian Jger Bn 5042 Bavarian Jger Bn 5043 V Reserve Corps V Corps is primarily composed of units of the Saxon Volks Armee but also has a small component from the Bavarian Staatwehr. The role of V Corps is in the defence of eastern Germany from incursions from Czechoslovakia with an eye also kept on the border with Poland. Consequently it works closely with II Corps and VIII Reserve Corps. In the years before Reunification the SVA had excellent relations with their Czech colleagues, and although this relationship has cooled somewhat V Corps maintains a bilateral exchange scheme. V Corps still has some units equipped with Czech AFVs but are

continuing to replace them with native German designs. V Corps generally has a good reputation for its soldiering abilities within the Bundeswehr partly resting on the rigorous training programs used by the SVA. The Corps is composed of a hover mobile division, a tracked division and a mountain infantry division. Support is provided by four Saxon and Bavarian reserve brigades. The Corps HQ is in Leipzig. 2 Saxon Lift Panzergrenadier Division The 2nd Saxon LkPzG Div is the senior-most division in the Saxon Army and had won no little renown for the conduct of its units in the Central Asian War. It was not chosen for conversion into a national army division because of its equipment with tracked MBTs and wheeled APCs and re-equipping was deemed to take too long. The division fought with its existing equipment against the French, proving itself in the suburbs of Frankfurt. After the War the division's 16 Brigade was moved to 211 Div and replaced with a Bavarian Panzer brigade. Both formations were equipped with LkPz-IX's. The division is based in Dessau.

The division has spent its recent history as a reserve formation, last activated in 2292 when it participated in the Reunification War as a Corps reserve. After the war its organisation was changed, with the 17th Reserve Brigade being disbanded and replaced with a regular brigade from another division. The 18th Brigade remains as a reserve contingent. The division has been re-equipped with Lwe MBT but retain their Czech IFV. The division has an integral heavy armoured unit equipped with stretched 'Royal' Lwe tanks. The division is based in and around Dresden.

The Saxon brigade has its roots in troops that patrolled the post-Twilight border with Czechoslovakia and became well known for shooting first and asking questions afterward, a tough outlook they retain. The Bavarian mountain brigade is one of the finest high mountain capable formations in any military. The division is split, with the Bavarian parts of the division based

in Garmich and the Saxon in the area around Chemnitz. There have been rumours of a move to Bayreuth but these have not proved true so far. On mobilisation the division would fight as a whole.

Jger Bn 2133 (Ter Btl Celle) VII Reserve Corps VII Corps is mainly composed of elements of the Westflisch Armee and some small elements of the Hannoverian Army. The primary task of the Corps is the defence of the Rhur and Frankfurt metroplexes. Consequently the corps is primarily trained in urban operations with the French as a likely enemy. However lingering Westphalian resentment of the 'occupation' of the west bank of the Rhine by the Netherlands also persists in some of the thinking of the senior officers in the Corps. 61 Lift Panzergrenadier Division Originally the 1st 'Hessen' PzGren Division, 61.LkPzGren division fought as a tracked division during the War being involved countering the main thrust of the French towards Stuttgart. Like most of the Westphalian units it was heavily engaged and ended the conflict in the fighting in the ruins of Stuttgart's western suburbs. Since the war it has been converted to a GEV formation and is the high readiness division for VII Corps, although it exercises frequently with I Corps. 61.LkPzGren expects to be one of the first units engaged should fighting with France erupt again.
