You may want to move the USAORG Legionnaires out of France, since the Foreign Legion was made up of foreign nationals, and were based out of Algeria....just sayin'
actually YOUR WRONG (haveing worked with them). you keep saying were and was. they are still an operational force, deployed around the world.
"After you arrive to a recruiting office in France , you will sign a contract stating that you are a volunteer for serving five years in the French Foreign Legion. Then, you will be sent to 1er R.E. - The headquarters of the Legion in Aubagne north of Marsielles. There you will be put through a thorough medical examination, and in the following three or four weeks you will be put to several examinations, IQ tests, ability tests, physical tryouts and security related interviews. When a ready Legionnaire leaves 4em R.E. and joins his new regiment, in France or "Outre Mer". He will be paired up with an "older", more experienced Legionnaire as his new "Binome".
The only Legionnaires in Africa are the 13th Foreign Legion Demi-Brigade (13 DBLE), based in Djibouti.
I sugesst you stick to the internet and fantasy RPGs, and let me handle the rest.
I'm sory, I forget these games are still full of children. I guess I could give you a history lesson, and the reason behind the choice of was and were, and how it relates to the name of the Division this team is playing in, etc, etc. But that would seem fairly logical and obvious to me, so why bother? If you can look up current French Foreign Legion facts, then maybe you can use your resources to dig up some Foreign Legion history and how it relates to Africa, since we are playing in the Africa league? Get back to me when you find this.....
Previously, the Legion was not stationed in mainland France except in wartime. Until 1962, the Legion headquarters were located in Sidi-Bel-Abbès, Algeria.
Hey ass clown, I am only 40 years old so in 1962 I was not alive, But here is a current history lesson...during the 1st Gulf war and here recently in Afghanistan, I actually worked with them. So you will have to pardon my historical perspective.
I made a map for the fun of the league, I put all the teams where they claim to be from, you take exception to where I put your team (actual location of the Legion) and you go in to correction mode, If you would like to re draw the African map to reflect the year 1962 have at it, I will remove your team from the map...
F*ck-O
