Operational doctrine
de Gaulle strikes with speed, spirit, and conviction. Starting with a mobile jeep and an extraordinary +20% capture bonus, de Gaulle snatches forward depots before opposing heavy tanks crawl into position.
- Forward jeeps capture undefended outlying depots in seconds.
- Rapid territory liberation provides early supply bounties to fuel subsequent armored development.
Signature tech: Vive la Résistance
Ignites widespread partisan coordination, pushing depot capture rate to +35% above standard and making jeeps unstoppable flankers.
Unique assets
Normandie cavalry tanks spearhead breakthrough offensives, supported by field maintenance at the Liberation Works.
