Description

Ici, c'est la France, a game of modern warfare and politics, drops you into the midst of the Algerian War of Independence from 1954 to 1962. This conflict was marked by great drama and turmoil, resulting in the loss of hundreds of thousands of lives and the exodus of a million French settlers from Algeria. The game masterfully recreates this complex and tumultuous period, challenging players to navigate the intricacies of war, politics, and insurgency. As one of two players, you'll engage in a multi-faceted game that combines political, insurgency, and military elements, all of which are deeply intertwined. To succeed, you'll need to balance your actions across these different domains, using operation points to pay for everything from recruiting and reinforcements to movement and combat. The game's chit-pull system and area majority mechanics add a layer of depth and strategy, as you'll need to carefully consider the consequences of your decisions and how they'll impact the French public, the Algerian population, and the Pied noir settlers. With a playtime of 300 minutes, Ici, c'est la France is a game that will keep you fully immersed and engaged, as you fight to control regions, win the hearts and minds of the population, and ultimately emerge victorious in this gripping and thought-provoking game of modern warfare.
