[WarInEur] France 1940

[drew]

yea but,

even the most enept french player will defend the
ardenns, preventing the axis drive to the channel and
loss of an entire army. thus..., no six week mirical.
france did not surrender due to the loss of paris but
more to the loss of men and territory. so if you want
a historical outcome you'd have to use a point system
like the one used in 'storm over europe'.
