[WarInEur] France 1940

[Noel & Pamela]

No, I agree, the Germs take more casualties than they did historically - no
super weapons, just more attacks at weaker odds etc., with Air Supremacy
enabled usually, and no suicidal airborne attacks, but the Frogs have NEVER
lasted long enough to entrench in any games I have played.  You crack each
river line in turn, which outflanks it, necessitating a withdrawal -
eventually they run out of rivers.

It's so clear now that the Frogs have no chance that I hardly bother to
deploy the Brits to the continent.  But that's another debate - they should
have to IMHO.

Suggestion: +1PP per week after 1 March 1940 to the Germs that there are
less than 10 full strength UK divisions in France or the low countries, and
within 2 hexes of the French border.  I'm happy to readjust these
numbers/dates to fit realities etc.

regards,
Noel

Hum! Maybe it's you that have the super weapons.  What combination of 
options are you using.  I can usually take down France, but not without a 
lot of 2:1 and 3:1 attacks which ups the cost to the Germans or using paras 
to blocking retreats and is borderline suicide para tactics.  Just how do 
you achieve this miricle?




 So the French defend the Ardennes..
