Legio Patria Nostra Tournament (Africa at War) FINAL RESULTS - Mad_Dog - 02-28-2012 The focus of this Africa at War tourney is going to be the French Foreign Legion, and some of their more recent battles in post colonial Africa. Ozgur Budak has made three great scenarios, that I think are some of his best, that feature the Legion in action, and we'll be playing them. Good luck! Legio Patria Nostra - The Legion is our Fatherland Standings Ozgur Budak: 150 grofaz: 115 Nikb: 110 Outlaw Josey Wales: 105 Rabbit: 105 Embis: 100 Laza: 90 Richie61: 80 Mad_Dog: 60 Alpha Zwo: 50 billk1: 50 Ivan: 45 Dog829: 40 kolc: 40 Scenario Scoring: 25 = Major Victory 20 = Minor Victory 15 = Draw 10 = Minor Loss 5 = Major loss Tourney Bonus Points: 1st Place -- 100 points 2nd Place -- 75 points 3rd Place -- 50 points All Others -- 25 points Optional Rules Vehicle Fire Over Quality Loss Modifier Everyone use these rules to keep things on a level playing ground for all the players. Legio Patria Nostra Tournament Round 1 - Mad_Dog - 02-28-2012 Legio Patria Nostra Tournament Round 1 Le Dernier Argument Le Dernier Argument.scn 06 January 2003, North of Duekoue, Ivory Coast **Adaptation of David Julien's LNL scenario "Checkpoint CALVI" 2nd REP’s 1st and 4th companies went to the Republic of the Ivory Coast to reinforce French Unicorn Operation military deployment, and monitor the cease fire between the Rebels and the Loyalists. This would ease the diplomatic negotiations that would take place from the 15th to the 24th of January 2003. Further complications were raised by a third party, the Great West Rebels. Little is known of the goals of these rebels, further reinforced by several Liberians and infamous for their Sierra Leone mischief. On the morning of the 6th of January, a group of Rebels headed towards checkpoint Calvi on Duekoue’s road, seemingly to speak the detachment of Foreign Legion soldiers. It was, however, only a cheap trick. Right behind them was another group of an hundred Rebels, intent on assaulting the French positions. Once again, the legionnaires were the "dernier argument" of France. I've played this scenario, and won, from both sides. I think it's very well balanced, each side has a lot of options and opportunities. It's a very fun scenario, good luck!

French troops were scattered around the country's critical junctions to form buffer zones between Loyalist troops of President Laurent Gbagbo including the FANCI Militia and different Rebel factions. In November Ivorian president Laurent Gbagbo had ordered airstrikes to be carried out on Ivorian rebels. On November 6, 2004, at least one Ivorian Sukhoi Su-25 bomber attacked a position of France's Unicorn peacekeeping force in the rebel stronghold of Bouaké at 1 pm local time, killing nine French soldiers and wounding another 31. The Ivorian government claimed the attack on the French was unintentional, but the French insisted that the attack had been deliberate. Within hours; French President Jacques Chirac personally ordered the destruction of the small Ivorian air force and the seizure of Yamoussoukro airport. The French military performed an overland attack on the airport and destroyed the small Ivorian air force parking on the field. The French attack on Yamoussoukro raised the tensions in the country. On 7 November, armed mobs of Ivorians loyal to the government took to the streets of Abidjan, the largest city located at the Atlantic Coast. Rioters attacked a French school and army base. Crowds of young Ivorians attacked a residential district made up of French citizens, who had to be evacuated by airlift as mobs burst into their apartment buildings. Unable to control the situation, troops from the Foreign Legion; the 2nd Recon Company and the 1st Para Company (2nd Para Regiment) deployed in the French District to counter the attacks and gain time for the evacuating civilians as armed mobs overwhelmed the streets. I've started this scenario, but never finished it. My opponent and I got about halfway through, with neither side having an advantage yet, but both of us having things to worry about. Good luck!

However, one of the bombs fell on a French strongpoint killing 9 soldiers who were monitoring the peacekeeping operations. Although Gbagbo claimed that the attack on the French position was a mistake French President Jacques Chirac ordered the seizure of the Yamoussoukro airport and destruction of the small Ivorian Air Force. The same day a column of the Foreign Legion set out from their positions around Bouaké and moved North towards Yamoussoukro. French troops, namely the paratroopers from the 2nd Para Regiment supported by armored cars of the recon element and attack helicopters, launched a surprise assault on the Ivorian Airport. Ivorian sentries struggled to recover from the initial blow while FANCI militia tried to join their regular army comrades. I played this scenario as the Legion, and won, although I took a lot of losses that a modern fighting force would probably be hesitant to take. Would the Legion though? Historically probably not, but the current force can probably call in a lot more support than we have in this scenario. There is a of open ground to cover, which makes it deadly for the Legion, although they have a very effective force. Good luck!

There was one team left in the Final Round, but with that pairing not really going to play a role in determining the final outcome, I opted to close the tourney out since this and the Korea tourney had been going on for far too long without resolving things... The final tally: 1st Place: Ozgur Budak: 150 2nd Place: grofaz: 115 3rd Place: Nikb: 110 Congrats to the winners and to the participants in this fun series. AAW certainly gives the SB a very different game to chew on! I'll have the tourney bonuses added tonight or tomorrow!

RE: Legio Patria Nostra Tournament (Africa at War) FINAL RESULTS - TheBigRedOne - 02-27-2014 I believe with this win, Oz gets a free tour of duty with the Legion.... |
