Reception at Foriegn Ports (Med & Indian Ocean)

[sonicninja]

Slightly "Off Topic" but when I visited the French port of Brest a couple of years back on a Royal Navy Nuclear submarine we received a very frosty welcome from the French sailors and civilians alike.

It prevailed that the reason for this was during the early stages of WW2 the Royal Navy destroyed a large number of French Navy ships tied up alongside Brest in order to prevent them falling into the hands of the ensuing German invasion, bearing in mind these French vessels were fully manned at the time.

Thought that was in Mers el Kebir

You could be right and I may have been misinformed at the time but I knew it had something to do with the Royal Navy sinking French ship, if that's true I stand corrected, every day is a school day for me

Haha every day is a school day for all of us.

Can't remember if I scripted Mers el Kabir in GWX, pretty sure I did, well force H anyway. Were a bit short on French warships at the time Will check tomorrow

Well does anybody know who I might reach out to create a mod for this idea? Is Pascal still around?

Anyone else interested in carrying the torch forward on this?

Is there someone who can provide me with a name and contact info that I might approach personally?
