Flag of Free France

Free France is one of the Allies of World War Two.

With the Armistice of 22 June 1940, France and its overseas territories were split into those who sided with the Axis power, and those who continue to side with the Allies; they became Vichy France and Free France respectively. Despite losing their homeland, the Free French forces fought side by side with the British and American forces in many frontiers for the eventual liberation of their own country.

In Battlegroup42, with the exception of those in 4503-The Coup, all French forces who fight against the Axis side after June 1940 are Free French, facing Germany and Italy in various theatres.

Free France has six maps: 4103-Koufra Raid, 4206-Bir Hakeim, 4405-Gustav Line, 4408-Race to Lyon, 4504-Black Forest and 4504-Royan Outskirts. Historically, each of the six scenarios was a victory for the Free French. (Bir Hakeim the French fought a successful delaying action.)
