French Army: 2300AD Armée Métropolitaine de la Nouvelle Provence Introduction One of the three ‘establishments’ that make up the wider
Armée
Métropolitaine, the Armée
Métropolitaine de la Nouvelle Provence (AMNP) comprises the vast majority of
the French Armée de Terre force raised on the colony of Nouvelle Provence. As
such it is one of the three main ‘pillars’ of the Armée Métropolitaine together
with the forces raised in European 'Hexegone'
France
and French Africa. Formerly part of the Coloniale the AMNP is a force that is
proudly French yet also uniquely Néo-Provençal. It is also perhaps the most
powerful military force on Alpha Centauri A I. Narrative

Régiment
d'Infanterie de Tirane ‘Bijagos’
patrolled carefully along the blasted and arid terrain of Kimanjano’s uplands
in the border region between French Fromme and Azanian Okavango. Even now eight
months after the fall of the Kafers small forces of the aliens could be found
in the depth of the shattered terrain of the back country. All arms teams of
the 9e Division de Marche were regularly dispatched to support the local
soldiers of the Milice Coloniale combat the menace. The Bijagois soldiers of this unit approached the task with grim determination, in part to rid the colony of the Capu menace and in part to revenge the heavy casualties suffered by their sister battalion I/6e RIT in the Liberation of Kimanjano. Alongside the infantry were AC-12 hover tanks of the Calanques raised 22e Régiment d'Aro-Dragons de Tirane to provide heavy support. There are no
fewer than 10 combat battalions of the Armée Metropolitaine de la Nouvelle
I followed
these men for a week on their unglamorous mission, watching as they had small
contacts; killing a Capu here, suffering a casualty there. I could not fail to
be affected by the professionalism and dedication of these men from Calanques,
Bijagos, Cou Plat and Tatouine. I prayed that they would pass through their
trial and be reunited with their families back on Nouvelle
Order of Battle Formations Regiments Organisation Recruitment Training Culture Uniform and Equipment Personalities Role Playing The AMNP has one of its two roots in the first colonial
defence militias or Milice Coloniale raised by France in its new colony on
Tirane with the lessons of the Alpha Centauri War very fresh in the minds of
politicians and military leaders alike. With colonists able to at least offer
token defence interstellar blackmail would be much less easy to undertake and
the French keenly established local defence forces as did the other ESA
nations. The second root of the AMNP was the Coloniale regiments
raised in the colony from 2168 onwards. These soldiers were ‘colonial
regulars’, a mixture of locally and Terran recruited soldiers who bore an
increasing burden for the defence of the colony as the French government aimed
to reduce the number of its Metropolitan soldiers deployed off world and
utilise them in maintaining the Paix
Française
on Earth. The strength of the Coloniale increased steadily in line
with the ever growing population of Nouvelle
This new establishment became known as the Armée
Métropolitaine de la Nouvelle The Milice Coloniale continued un-reformed for a number of
years with its existence being largely ad-hoc outside the major cities. However
in 2145 moves were made to bring the Milice under the control of the AMNP but
with the force reorganised on a regional basis. This was largely a cosmetic
exercise with the force being known as the AMNP-Milice but it gained little in
capability. The Milice often became a source of power for local strongmen and
corruption was not uncommon. The regular component of the AMNP grew steadily for nearly
20 years but remained largely a light mechanised and light infantry force aimed
largely at internal security and border guard tasks. However from the outset a
number of Néo-Provençales units had served on Earth with
formations from the AMH or AMAF, for both training reasons and to bolster
French prestige. Many saw action in a number of battles defending the decaying
French Peace. The French recognised the value of the Néo-Provençales
troops both for their tactical quality and the vast reserve of manpower they
represented. This came to a head during Central Asian War when the French
soon made use of increasing numbers of Néo-Provençales troops in the
War on the Steppes against the Manchurians. Initially this was as battalions
attached to Earth raised divisions, and later as a formed division, the
Division de Marche de Even the AMNP-Milice became involved in the war with a
division of volunteers being mobilised for rear area security duties. Their
involvement was less happy and most of the division was overrun in the
Manchurian offensive. Although their fate was also shared by a number of French
AMH conscript units their performance was used to justify a sweeping array of
reforms to the AMNP-Milice and other Colonial Milice by a French military
establishment which was becoming increasingly mistrustful of the polyglot nature
of the force. The AMNP-Milice was dissolved and the force reformed and
greatly reduced, being brought under the overall command of the AMNP for
administrative purposes. What emerged was the Défence Opérationelle
Territoriale de Nouvelle With the DOTNP in place the rest of the AMNP was also
reformed to become better suited to being deployed for force projection tasks
on A great challenge for the AMNP arrived at the same time as
these reforms with the accession of the Junta
in It was a testing time for the AMNP and Nouvelle
The war with Germany in 2292-3 came as another shock to the
AMNP, especially as for a while it was not known if neighbouring Garten would
ally itself with the rest of Bavaria and join the new German State. The bulk of
the ATT was prepared for a possible intervention into Garten, whilst parts of
the DOTNP were still tasked with ensuring internal security in troubled regions
of the interior. Consequently only a small part of the AMNP was deployed to
Earth in response to the crisis, with two divisions being dispatched with much
fanfare on impressed civilian ships supposedly to marry up with equipment on
Earth. In the event only the 202e DI saw action and even operated
on German soil in the Post-WoGR the ATT was again reformed with the creation of
two manoeuvre corps and a rapid reaction corps of troops. The DOTNP retained
the same organisation although many hardline Terran born officers were quietly
eased aside. The AMNP was able to concentrate strongly on training and
re-equipping, this has left in good state to participate in the Kafer War where
now many of its units are now in action in defence of the French Empire. This is the AFNP order of battle for Jan 2303. It does not
include units ‘de Marche’ or company sized element. This orbat is for armoured
and infantry units only. Corps de

The vast majority of the forces of the AMNP form almost all of the Armée Territoriale de Tirane which is described in detail here. In addition to this troops from the ATNP also form part of the Armée de Manœuvre, Armée d’Aurore and the Armée de Libération.
Corps
de Cavalerie Tiranais
The CCT comprises all of the AFMP’s armoured units from the
national and regional forces. These are known as
the Régiments Blindées de Tirane (RBT) and the Régiments de
Cavalerie de Nouvelle Provence (RCNP) respectively. It comes under the direction of the Arme Blindée Cavalerie on Earth
All of the regular national Néo-Provençal cavalry and armour
of the RBTs were initially all part of the 1e RCC of the Coloniale. As French
Colonial forces expanded beyond the size of one regiment the new units formed
were given a 'fractional' number i.e. 1/1e RIC, 7/1e RIC, as higher regimental
numbers had already been assigned. When integrated into Metropolitan France and
loosing the 'Coloniale' title the regiments converted to the style Xe Régiment
Y de Tirane. Where X was the previous fractional number and Y
a cavalry or armoured title. So for example the 2/1e RCC became the 2e
Régiment Aéro-Hussards
de Tirane. The choice of title was left largely to the personnel of the
regiment involved and reflected the equipment of the unit or the amount of élan
the unit wanted to project. Most regiments largely opted for cavalry titles. No
matter what the title the units have the abbreviation RBT to avoid any more
confusion than strictly necessary. The one exception was the 1/1e RCC which almost from its
inception had operated off The size of the RBT portion of the CCT has increased
steadily through the years, especially during the years of the Central Asian
War. When required a new regiment is formed using the next highest unused
number. The RCNP represents the regional cavalry forces of the AMNP,
and are descended from the old Milice Coloniale. The modern RCNP maintains the
traditions and names of its predecessor units in its squadron titles. The RCNPs
are full time units manned by short service volunteer soldiers. Corps d'Infanterie Tiranais
The CIT contains the totality of the AMNPs infantry force,
both regular and regional. The ANMP has maintained very strong regional links
for its regiments and this continues to this day. Whilst it is common for
soldiers to be transferred internally between battalions transfers between
regiments are much less commonplace and are normally done only for officers.
The original regular infantry of the AMNP was contained in
the numerous battalions of the 1e, 2e and 3e Régiments d'Infanterie Coloniale.
The 1e RIC contained most of the 'line' infantry strength of the colony, the 2e
RIC was a smaller regiment containing most of the intervention forces, whilst
the 3e RIC contained light infantry trained for operations in the mountains,
swamps, jungles and other challenging terrain. When Nouvelle
As the AMNP grew the new regiments would expand by adding
new battalions to their strength. Today most RIT units have two battalions,
although some have three. The RCT generally have a single battalion although 1e
and 2e RCT have two battalions. 10e RCP has remained with a
strength of three battalions. The RIT, RCT and 10e RCP remain manned on
a long service regular basis. The CIT also includes the regional infantry regiments of the
DOTNP. These were descended from the original Milice Coloniale, although they
have been extensively reformed. The regional regiments are manned predominantly
by short service volunteers or those serving under ballot. The regional
regiments are large units whose predecessor units are acknowledged in sub-unit
titles. The overall size of the regional part of the CIT is dramatically
smaller than the old militia it replaced. Other Corps The AMNP also includes the full array of corps and
services found across the militaries.
1e Régiment de Cavalerie Coloniale
The 1e RBT styles itself as the ‘1e Régiment de The unit saw itself dispatched to Joi during the Elysian
Revolt, where it provided rare hovertank support for the French forces. The
regiment destroyed its vehicles rather have them fall
into the hands of the rebels at the conclusion of the war. It then saw service
on Adlerhorst during the period of the War of German Reunification and took art
in the operation to crush support the Bavarian loyalists. Relocated again to
Beta Canum it was was about to be returned home when the Arcturus Crisis
erupted and it was dispatched to Aurore with the relief expedition where it
remains today after heavy fighting. Very much the exception to the rule as a Metropolitan unit
deployed in the colonies, 1e RBT is a very high profile unit which attracts
many of the best recruits. Although it nominally recruits from Mirambeau
soldiers from across Nouvelle Today the 1e RBT is a very combat hardened unit in the 22e
18e Régiment
d'Aéro-Cuirassiers
de Tirane The 18e RBT are a Karoise regiment equipped with AC-12
and are currently assigned to the 8e DM at Ouaga Nouveau. The regiment gained
its fame during its actions in the last year of the Central Asian War, when
they were rushed to the front and conducted a memorable delaying action
protecting the retreating 8e Corps following the calamitous Battle of Omsk.
Although suffering heavy casualties it completed its mission successfully and
was able to later take part in the counter offensive. As a result the regiment
was awarded both the Légion d’Honneur and the Médaille Militaire, and earned a fine reputation. Several hovertank aces came from its
ranks including the highest scoring Néo-Provençal crew. 18e RBT is recruited from the hinterlands of the city
of 3e Régiment d'Infanterie de Tirane ‘Calanques’
3e RIT is an unusual regiment for the ANMP in that its
soldiers are almost totally recruited from the white European French population
of rural Calanques and is an exception to the normally polyglot and multiracial
Néo-Provençal norm. The regiment is also strongly Catholic and is very
correct in its religious observances and is one of the few units to conduct
formal church parades. The regiment has three battalions. I/3e RIT is a
mechanized infantry unit with 206e DI based in its native Calanques, II/3e RIT
is a combat walker unit attached to the 4e RB and III/3e RIT is a hovermobile
infantry unit attached to the 6e DM.
The regiment is know as the ‘Démons Blanches’ to the rest of the AMNP, and is well
known for its high standards of discipline as well as its unusual demographics.
Battalions of the regiment served in the Central Asian War and most of its
senior NCOs and officers have operational experience. Other ANMP regiments
dislike serving alongside this unit in barracks due to the zealousness of its
regimental police. 6e Régiment d'Infanterie de Tirane ‘Bijagos’
The 6e RIT is regiment currently bearing the brunt of the campaign against the Kafers. The regiment
was assigned the Bigagos archipelago as its recruitment area in its time as
VI/1e RIC. The 6e RIT was always regarded as a youthful, somewhat fun loving
regiment for most of its existence. However recruitment was always something of
a problem due to the limited population of the islands. A regiment of two battalions the I/6e
RIT was assigned to the elite 2e DLB and saw action with it during the
Liberation of Kimanjano. During these landings and the subsequent operations
the battalion took severe casualties. These could not later be made good because the sister battalion II/6e RIT was also serving
in the Armée de Libération and so
reinforcements from across the ANMP flooded into the battalion. Consequently I/6e RIT is a battalion in transition
with Bijagois soldiers still in most of the command positions but with most of
the soldier from elsewhere in Nouvelle Provence, including a large number of
Karoise. II/6e RIT has seen less action and taken fewer casualties and
consequently still retains its original character. 7e Régiment de Chasseurs Tiranais ‘Haut Vars’ 7e RCT is a single battalion regiment raised in the
eastern reaches of the region of Vars around the city of
Typically for a RCT this regiment prides itself on its
physical toughness and its abilities in mountainous, hilly and wooded terrain.
However 7e RCT is well known for its gregariousness but and also its serious
approach to its military role. It is well known for producing senior officers
and also volunteers for the CCT. The 7e RCT also wears an eagle feather in its
beret as a nod to the Italian heritage of so many of its soldiers. 10e Régiment de Chasseurs Parachutistes
The 10e RCP is perhaps the most glamorous single infantry
regiment in the AMNP. Descended from part of the old 2e RIC it has concentrated
on the airborne role since 2140. Although several AMNP infantry units have
parachute training the 10e RCP are the acknowledged masters of the trade as
part of the 20e DP. The regiment recruits from amongst serving soldiers in the
other units of the AMNP. The battalions of the regiment saw action on several tours
during the Central Asian War and were stood too on a number of occasions to see
action against the Manchurian enclave of Tunghu, and again for possible
intervention in Garten during the War of German Reunification. Indeed soldiers
of the II/10e RCP were amongst the first to deploy into the newly independent
Freihafen on training missions at the behest of the new government. The soldiers of the regiment however have since been denied
the opportunity to prove its mettle against the Kafers when the 11e DP was
deployed to the French Arm and half of the 20e DP shifted to Earth to provided
a rapid response capability. The three battalions of the regiment are regarded
as tough, aggressive and highly professional in their conduct. They exercise
regularly with their airborne counterparts in other Tiranean colonies and
nations. 19e Régiment d'Infanterie de Tirane ‘Côte du Sud’ 19e RIT is a regiment raised in the southern coastal areas
of Tasili and has the finest fighting reputation of any
Néo-Provençal regiment forged
in its time in Originally the XIX/1e RIC, a battalion that was raised for
service on the French Arm, the regiment’s battalions have continued to often
serve off-world. II/19e RIT was serving on Earth when the Central Asian War
broke out and for the first two years the battalion was an integral part of the
1e DB. When the II/19e RIT finally returned home its sister battalion deployed
to Earth as part of the DMT. Together the battalions won numerous decorations,
fought in countless actions and were always where the action was fiercest. The
regiment gained the nickname of ‘Le Vieu Fidèle’ for its
service. II/19e RIT also saw action
against The regiment continues to man two battalions, I/19e RIT with
6e DM and II/19e RIT with 203e DI, although both are currently based on
Commandos
des Chasseurs Tiranais
The CCT are the special forces
element of the ANMP and are assigned to the command of the CTS. There are
eleven company sized Commandos each affiliated to a particular region and each
with its own specialties. The Commandos are assigned to one of three battalion
sized groups. The CCT recruit internally from the ranks of the ANMP.
Bataillon de Cavalerie Blindée The BCB are pure hovertank battalions and are equipped with
a mixture of the modern AC-12bis and the slightly older AC-12 with the few
AC-10s largely faded out. The BCB is organised with 3 hovertank Escadrons and a
command and service Escadron. The hovertank Escadron are organised with four 3
tank troops and a command troop. In total the BCB has 41 hovertanks and
numerous support and service vehicles. Bataillon de Cavalerie Mécanisés These are almost identically to the BCB except for being
equipped with the new EBRC-97 wheeled Bataillon de Chars de Combat
The
Bataillon
de Cavalerie de Reconnaissance
The BCR has the standard three manoeuvre Escadrons and a
command and support Escadron. The sabre Escadrons have three reconnaissance
troops equipped with ACR-89s, a hovertank troop for support and a support troop
of ACVI-3s carrying dismounted troopers and UAVs. This organisation is standard
even for the heavy DBs.
Bataillon de Cavalerie de Reconnaissance Mixte The BCRM is present in two units supporting 2e DLB and 20e
DP. They share much with the standard BCR except that that one Escadron is
organised for dismounted long range recce tasks.
Bataillon
de Fantassins Aéromobiles The BFA has four rifle companies, a support company (CEA)
and a HQ company (CCS). The rifle companies have three rifle platoons and a HQ
with small integral anti-tank and anti-aircraft elements. The support company
has reconnaissance, mortar, anti-tank and anti-aircraft elements. The command
company has the usual combat support elements and a pioneer platoon which also
functions as a defence platoon. The BFA battalions assigned to 20e DP are fully
parachute trained and roled.
Bataillon de Fantassins Aéromobiles Tiranais There are specialist ANMP specific units very similar
to BFAs except with one of the companies allocated to the parachute role. Bataillon de Fantassins Aéro-Mécanisés The are equipped with
either the ACVI-4 or ACVI-3 and are highly trained in manoeuvre warfare. The Bataillon de Fantassins Légers Aéro-Mécanisés
The BFLAM is almost identical to the
Bataillon
de Fantassins Mécanisés BFMs are very similar to BFAMs but are equipped with wheeled
AFVs. These include the regular infantry divisions in the Corps and also the
regional units of the DOTNP. The ANMP operates a mixture of EBRC-97s, VCIR and
trucks in this role.
Bataillon
de Fantassins Mécanisés Blindée The BFMB is the infantry equivalent of the
Bataillon
de Chasseurs à Pied Blindée BCPB are French combat walker units, each has 4 CW
companies, a CEA and CSS. Each company has two platoons of walkers with a small
HQ for a total of 24 walkers. In total the BCPB has 100 frontline walkers but
also hold a reserve of 25 walkers to replace maintenance and combat losses.
These are operating the BH-21 although some are beginning to take delivery of
the new BH-25. All three battalions of CCT are organised as BTS,
The ANMP is able to recruit any citizen of the French
Empire, however naturally its main recruiting area is the colony of Nouvelle
The ANMP has three forms of recruitment, regular, short
service volunteer and conscript. Regular recruitment is utilised to man the
main elements of the ANMP that were originally part of the Coloniale. Short
service and conscript service is used to man the regional elements of the
force. Regular recruitment is a full service commitment and soldiers
can be deployed any where including off world. Due to the ANMP’s strong
recruitment it has been able to retain longer initial service terms than the
Terran parts of the AM. Currently initial service is for a minimum of five
years with additional service in three year increments and maximum service of
30 years. Regulars can also be found as leadership cadres in the regional
units. On completion of service the soldiers are transferred into the reserve,
which is a manpower pool linked to previous regiments or corps but with no
enforced training periods. Short service and conscript service are for a period of two
years and fill the ranks of the regional units. These two types of service are
limited engagements and cannot be deployed outside of Nouvelle
Short service and conscript recruits can transfer to regular
service and many do. Pay and conditions for both of these recruiting methods
are identical and accrue a cash bounty and educational entitlements on
completion of service. These soldiers have no further reserve commitment. The ANMP will accept any volunteer for regular service over
the age of 18 who has passed a Baccalaureat, although such a
soldier will have to undertake to study for a degree whilst serving. Currently
around 50% of the ANMP regular recuits have degrees before joining. Officers are recruited from
The ethnic make up of the ANMP represents that of the colony
as a whole with a rich mixture of the peoples of the Empire. People of European
French background are slightly over represented but in general the majority of
recruits are from the melange of nationalities that is typically Néo-Provençal.
The ANMP’s fighting regiments are traditionally very
regionally based with recruits normally being dispatched to join their local
regiment. This has led to the regiments developing very
localised esprit-de-corps. Transfer between the ANMP, AMH and AMA is relatively easily
done although good reasons will have to be presented due to the cost of
relocations. Normally it is restricted to the ranks of senior NCO and field
grade officer with specific or specialised training.
Breakdown The table below shows the late 2302 breakdown of ANMP
soldiers by region of recruitment. It should be noted that there are just under
275 000 soldiers in the ANMP, of which nearly 197 000 are regulars and just
over 77000 are short service or conscript soldiers. Of note is that almost 20%
of these soldiers were not born in Nouvelle

The Ile

befits its status as the most populous of the regions of Nouvelle
DOTNP units
include one cavalry and seven infantry regiments. Of note is the 1e RCNP which
is almost entirely composed of ex-regular soldiers and is of a very high
standard. Indeed all of these regional units have a high number of ex-regulars
in the ranks, including 7e RGNP which is sometimes jokingly referred to as the
III/2e RCT.
Ile
de Tirane recruited units are normally very cosmopolitan in make up with all
the races and religions of the colony represented. They are normally very
streetwise and often suffer from the reputation of being ‘light fingered’.
Rivalry is very strong between the regiments, especially between 1e, 21e and 7e
RIT, with violence not being uncommon and gang related feuds sometimes being
taken into uniform. In addition to
these combat units the Ile de Tirane
contributes a greater than proportionate number of recruits to the other arms
and corps of the AMNP.

Calanques is
a large region with several distinct sub-areas. 3e RIT, 2e RBT, 22e RBT and 26e
RBT are recruited from the coastal area of Calanques. 12e RIT and 13e RBT are
drawn from the Vaucluse area, whilst the Chasseurs of 8e RCT are recruited
from the rugged Mandara. The Calanques
regiments are very closely associated with their recruitment areas and share
most of their local characteristics. In general the infantry are recruited from
the rural areas and the armoured units from the cities. 3e RIT in particular is
noted for its stereotypically strong Catholicism and small mindedness, whilst
12e RIT is predominantly recruited from the sons of the regions’ farmers. Calanques
regiments are always strongly manned and exhibit a strong tendency for
multigenerational service with sons succeeding fathers in the ranks. The urban
centres also provide many recruits into the other more technical corps and
services of the army.

6e RCT is recruited from the north of the region from the
southern slopes of the Mandara Massif and has more in common with the Calanques’ 8e RCT than the other Tatouine regiments. The three armoured
regiments are regarded as being very high quality manoeuvre units, comfortable
with sweeping operations across very large areas.

least populated region of Nouvelle 4e RBT and 11e RIT are both recruited from the area around
the city of Mataró on the Congeuve, a rough and ready city founded by Catalan
settlers. As a result both regiments have unique characters when compared to
other AMNP units. Its soldiers are self-reliant to the point of insolence, deal
very poorly with outsiders, are regarded as light fingered and speak an almost
unintelligible Franco-Catalan dialect. They do tend to perform very well on
both operations and exercise, so its foibles are tolerated by higher
commanders. The regional units are divided equally between Mataró and
Escalier des Etoiles, with several elements assigned to the protection of the
orbital facilities located there. In
general the people of Pays Verdoyent serve
almost exclusively in their local regiments, although there is a substantial
contingent in the AMNP’s special forces element. Karoise 5e RBT, 18e RBT, 21e RBT, 31e RBT

agricultural harvest. 5e RBT, 21e RBT, 2e RIT and 20e RBT are predominantly
recruited from the city of Karoise regiments are regarded as being gregarious,
generous, easy going, yet physically aggressive, competitive and professional.
Like those raised in the Ile de Tirane they
are very polyglot, representing every ethnic and religious group who settled in
the regions and without any strong mores.
Many soldiers from the region are former workers on the rivers and are very
comfortable with riverine operations. The The regional units are strongly recruited with volunteers and ex-regulars and have high operational standards. Karoise soldiers are strongly represented in the Nouvelle Provençal contingent in the ranks of the Troupes de Marines.

17e RBT and 5e RIT from Kalemie and 27e RBT from Bartica. The crack 4e RCT is
recruited from the bushmen of the region’s hinterland.
In general the Cou Plat regiments are seen as professional and serious
regiments. Most soldiers from this region are at least bilingual, being able to
speak conversational German. 7e RBT and 17e RIT are predominantly manned by
soldiers of West African extraction and are both strongly Muslim in character. Vars 8e RBT, 32e RBT 9e RCNP I/4e RIT, II/4e RIT, I/7e

east from the Ile de Tirane
along between the coast line and the mountainous border with Freihafen. The
region is predominantly agricultural with large urban centres at Porto Novo,
Petit Bessam and Bordella. The region’s econcomy relies on large scale
agriculture, fisheries, viniculture and upland ranches hill farming forms of
Dranta and sheep. Most military recruitment comes from the main cities of
Porto Novo and Petit Pessam and their rural hinterlands. 7e RCT is recruited
from Bordella and its nearby mountains of the Haut Var. In general the Varois
soliders are regarded as being amongst the most relaxed in the army, with a
love of wine and the good things in life but also with a demonstrated
excellence in fieldcraft. 7e RCT is somewhat different having elements of the
Italian character of Bordella mixed with a strong contingent of tough mountain
hunters of the area. Vars has a strong regional force with the Goums being very
highly regarded by higher command, although very few
go on to serve with the main AMNP. Pays du Lac 9e RBT 4e RCNP I/8e RIT, II/8e RIT, II/5e RCT 1e RGCNP, 2e RGCNP, 3e RGCNP, 4e RGCNP,

the mighty Lac d’œil. It is a large but relatively lightly populated area. Its
regiments for the most part have trouble recruiting their full quotient and so
are often backfilled with recruits from the Karoise,

With the exception of the CIT and CCT the remaining corps
and services of the ANMP are recruited from across the
Département, although most elements and regiments have some sort of
regional affiliation. The exception is 10e RCP and the CCT who are recruited
from across the CIT and the whole AMNP respectively.
The ANMP has a wide range of training facilities with basic
training facilities located in each of the regions which are shared by both the
regular and regional soldiers. These facilities range dramatically in size depending
on the intakes of soldiers they are required to support. Every soldier in the
ANMP is required to complete three months of common military training based on
infantry models. This is a hold over from the Central Asian War when over
specialised support units often disintegrated in the face of Manchurian
penetrations or insurgent ambushes. On the conclusion of this course they are
dispatched to special to arm training at a range of institutions across
Nouvelle Each of the corps and services has its own school. The
Centre d’Entraînement de Corps d’Infanterie Tiranais is
located to the west of Setta Cama in the foothills of the Mandara. The armoured
cavalry centre (CEABCT) is located to the north of Djibouti-el-Jedid in the
massive training areas of Tatouine and so on. Officer training is largely conducted at the Académie
Militaire Coloniale which is the largest officer training facility in the
French Army. The AMC runs both long and short commissioning courses, the former
including degree study. It produces the bulk of the ANMP’s officers as well as
many who chose to serve in the other establishments of the
Métropolitaine, Coloniale, Légion
and
Troupes de Marine. NCO training is conducted either at corps schools or at the
NCO wing of the AMC. The AMNP has a full range of specialist and technical
courses required to support a sophisticated modern military as well as the
usual commando and parachute courses. The AMNP also has a renowned mountain
warfare school run by personnel seconded from the RCTs. Cross training with foreign forces takes place on a frequent
basis, most notably with the Freiwehr. Permenant training teams drawn from the
AMNP are based in Freihafen and bilateral exercises are commonplace. Links are
also fostered with other colonies, including Wellon and US Marine contingents
based in Tirania. One major establishment belonging to the AMNP is the Centre
d’Entraînement de Combat de Manœuvre (CECM) collocated
with the CEABCT in Tatouine. This facility is responsible for a training area
the size of European France over which high grade manoeuvre warfare training is
conducted. Each AMNP division trains there at least once every two years and
troops from Earth are often trained there. The CECM has its own
multi-divisional equipment sets and is a valuable reserve for the ANMP.
Analysts note that although much of this equipment has seen hard use it could
be used to equip several divisions of Terran soldiers should a major
reinforcement of Nouvelle
The AMNP first and foremost sees itself as an integral part
of the wider Armée Métropolitain
and is intensely proud of its role in the defence of the French Empire. At a
lower level however the AMNP has an array of competing loyalties and
identities. Primary amongst these are the split between the regular and
the regional forces. The regulars have always been an all volunteer long
service force based on their Coloniale origins and are proud of this fact,
holding it over the AMH who have been predominantly a conscript based service.
The regionals have been either militia or part time reservists and have only
recently gained their new role with its conscript element. As a result links
between the regionals and the reservists are not close, or particularly friendly.
The regulars have a very well defined and traditional
regimental system rooted firmly in regional recruitment and reaching back to
over 100 years from its Coloniale beginnings. Their regional routes are a
source of great strength and pride to the AMNP and indeed many regiments feel
they have more in common with regiments raised on Earth than units recruited
from a neighbouring area in Nouvelle The ANMP has a strong sense of its own value based on its
contribution to first the Central Asian War, War of German Reunification and
now the Kafer War. Whilst often far from the eyes of the military and political
hierarchy in Military-Civilian relations are still somewhat shaky as a
result of the aftermath of the period of military rule of
One last element of the ANMP that requires clarification is
the existence of the Organisation de l'Armée
Républicaine Secrete (OARS) which
is the bitter aftertaste of the Junta era
on
The AMNP is equipped with standard French equipment similar
to the rest of the Métropolitaine. If it is sometimes
behind the Armée de Manœuvre in receiving the latest equipment it
is never too far behind.
The AMNP are equipped with the standard ‘combat blues’
the Tenue
de Combat Mle 2298 with the new pattern Mle
2298 helmet in most units. Some units in 16e Corps and also in the DAMs
continue to use the Mle 2245 helmet
which is handier moving in and out of aircraft or when in very difficult
terrain. The symbol of the AMNP is a twin sun emblem which is
commonly repeated in many unit insignia and is worn on the left shoulder as an écusson. The corps insignia are those of
the wider Métropolitaine with a few exceptions.
This is also true of headgear which largely follows Terran usage
with some idiosyncratic exceptions such as the eagle feather of 7e RCT from
Vars. The AMNP continue to wear a ceinture of coloniale grise regardless of arm of service and is a link back to its roots. As is normal the individual regiments wear the fourragère applicable to the decorations their units have received. The AMNP wear the standard Tenue de Parade Mle.2289 as its parade dress uniform. There are the usual two main walking out dress orders, one for cold seasons and one for warm similar to those worn by the Légion.
Lieutenant-Colonel
Etienne Francoeur Etienne Francoeur is the commander of the famous 1e RBT who
has seen almost three years of constant combat on Aurore, initially as a
squadron commander and then as regimental commander. A native of
Francoeur has gained a fine fighting reputation, his easy
charm and swashbuckling Karoise personality combined nicely with an excellent
tactical brain. Francoeur has been decorated several times and received several
minor wounds. His marriage to a Mirambeau stockbroker has collapsed in his time
at the front and he has gained a reputation as an incorrigible ladies man in
the colony. He is due to be withdrawn from the front, but his time has been
extended due to the accidental death of his replacement. Caporal-Chef Hussein Tortochot Hussein Tortochot is a
squad commander in the I/6e RIT stationed on Kimanjano. Tortochot was one of
the replacements brought forward to make good the battalion’s loses in the
Liberation. Tortochot grew up in teaming Mirambeau and joined the regulars
after a stint as a short service volunteer in 2e RGNP. He volunteered to go to
the French Arm with a replacement draft and found himself in the
I/6e RIT. Tortochot is finding settling into the battalion something
of a challenge due to the divide that has grown up between the veteran I/6e RIT
originals and the later replacements. Although he has taken part in numerous
small scale battles he still feels uncomfortably like an outsider. Tortochot is
a dedicated and effective soldier but is increasingly missing his family back

Général de Corps d’Armée
Louis Perez (Ret) General Louis Perez is popularly known as the Bête du Gabon, the Beast of Gabon, for
his bloodthirsty suppression of the revolt in that African Département in 2289.
A leading member of the junta he was
appointed as commander of the ATT in 2290 and was responsible for arresting and
imprisoning the Governor. The fall of the junta
saw the issuing of a warrant for the arrest Perez and his dramatic escape
from a team from the elite GIGD. Perez is believed to be in hiding and is the
leading figure in the OARS, which launches periodic terrorist attacks against
Imperial offices and is rumoured to include many significant AMNP figures in
its ranks. Perez was born in one of the poorest suburbs of
Perez was one of the few Generals to emerge with some credit
out of the ruinous retreat of 2287, leading his Corps to relative safety before
taking an important role in the counter-attack. Perez was a leading member of
the ‘colonels’ and was deeply implicated in the coup that overthrew the 12th
Republic. Leaving the politics to the firebrand orators he was dispatched to
quell a republican uprising in Perez is currently in hiding, some say in the PaysVerdoyent,
some in the mountains, some across the border in Tundunkubwa, whilst yet
another rumour says he has secretly enlisted in the Légion and is serving on the French
Arm. The spectre of Perez looms unspoken across large parts of the army, and he
has become a Conradian figure of great mystery.
AMNP characters must be from the core and French, or be
French and have travelled to the core to sign up, which could be role-played.

Quality The average ANMP regular unit has a skill breakdown of 20%
Green, 30% Experienced, 30% Veteran and 20% Elite. Many units who have seen
action on the French Arm or are more highly trained will have a higher
proportion of Veteran and Elite types. The AMNP regional units have a breakdown
of 30% Green, 40% Experienced, 25% Veteran and 5% Elite.
The only canon reference to the military of ‘Provence
Nouveau’ (sic) is in the Aurore Sourcebook which notes that citizens from this
area are recruited into the Metropolitan forces – described as the ‘regular
French Imperial Army’. Unfortunately it then contradicts itself two pages later
by noting that the 1e Regiment Cavalerie Coloniale (1e RCC) is recruited from
‘Provence Nouveau’. As Nouvelle
The 1e RCC I have accounted for by having it as a
Metropolitain unit, but as the original Néo-Provençal cavalry unit it has
retained the ‘Coloniale’ title as an honorific. This is not unknown as the
modern French Army includes units named after the Spahis and Tirailleurs of the
Armee d’Afrique many decades after the departure of
Finally the Aurore Sourcebook states that the
Métropolitaine is never deloyed outside of As a compromise I have some
Métropolitaine units deployed in the colonies and elsewhere, however the
Coloniale, Légion and Marines are the preferred first choice for these
deployments.
The structure of the eleven regions of
Nouvelle Provence, its geography, politics and demographics are drawn from work
by Christopher Lee. General Perez is also by Christopher Lee. Thanks as always to Laurent Esmiol for French corrections.
