I think it's a brillant storyline. I mean, everybody knew the Gallic invasion would come one day, so I guess all the compaints were about timing.
I don't play any Gallic char for the moment, but I might try it, since I fear everybody will wanna play BAF fighter just to save the day, which is great.
I'm eager to read the next chapters of the .86 background.
( PS : We didn't just invent Croissants. Think about it. Where do you think the words "chef", "cuisine" come from. I could say we have the best food but it'd be presomptuous. But we have the best wine, that's a fact. But again, we have "four hundred battleships" only in video games...)
