06 NOVEMBER 2004, YAMOUSSOUKRO AIRPORT, CENTRAL IVORY COAST:

On 6 November 2004, after rebel groups' denial of the disarmament plan, Laurent Gbagbo, the president of the Ivory Coast and the leader of the Popular Front, ordered airstrikes on the rebel positions near Bouaké. 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!
