I like the concept of cooperative looting. Frenchmen had no love of the  
British, who had been their bitterest rivals in the preceding century, and had  
stolen their just rewards for hard work and investment in Egypt.  Regarded as a 
Jewel in the French Iperial crown since conquerd by  Napoleon. Fashoda in 1898 
(not so long back in our ww2 time line) took them  to the 19th Century 
equivalent of the 'nuclear' brink with the British mpire,  until cooler heads and 
counsels prevailed.
 
Whilst fighting side by side with the 'hated boche' was difficult to  
swallow, after the grief visited upon sons of France in WW1, th Germans were  adept 
at claiming that all of this grief was a rsult of the devious manoeuvring  of 
the British, who tricked the French into such a horrendous bloodletting to  
protect the British Empire at their expense. Careful consideration at the  
intellectual level is one thing, pitched at the emotional level, it was entirely  
another, and incidents like Mers el Kebir gave the British foreign office some  
serious sleepless nights.
 
>From a practical point of view it is seductively easy to implement, being  
very easy to retrofit to the board game in conformity.
