Foreign Legion

Description
Foreign Legion squads are only available to the Free French Forces and must be unlocked with Command Points before being called to the battlefield.

The French Foreign Legion is an elite combat unit composed largely of foreign and colonial soldiers who fight under the French flag. This unit is meant to be used offensively because Legionnaires gain a bonus of 0.85x received suppression, 0.85x received damage, and 1.15x movement speed when the squad is present in enemy territory, but the bonus does not apply in friendly or neutral territory. The bonus does not increase with veterancy, although it does stack with any normal benefits gained from veterancy.

MAS-36 Rifle
The service rifle of France, the MAS-36 has the shortest range of all bolt-action rifles. However, it also has the smallest penalty for firing while on the move, allowing Foreign Legion squads to take advantage of their higher movement speeds in enemy territory.

MAS-38 Submachine Gun
Choosing to upgrade the Foreign Legionnaires replaces all of their rifles with MAS-38 submachine guns. The MAS-38 is best used at very close range due to its low accuracy at maximum range. The MAS-38 has a high rate of fire only rivaled by the Thompson submachine gun.
