{Disarmed} RE: {Spam?} [WarInEur] France 1940 and changing French unit strength- Addendum

[Noel & Pamela]

In defence of their own territory only guys...
 
Not in an invasion of Russia or anywhere else for that matter.
 
This is supposed to be a serious simulation - not fantasy.

Noel

Lets just get over this fantasy please.  The French were not going to fight
with the Germans just because the Brits abandoned them.

Interesting...
 
The French did fight the British is several instances, and successfully,
notably in Madagascar, defeating a British attempt at landings. These
experiences led directly to the proposition that the Americans should lead
the assault in North Africa. The allied planners were not prepared to gamble
on the Brtish initial presence tripping off a full scale fight with Vichy.
If our planners at the time felt that this was a serious risk...
