A straightforward answer to the problem of a player underdeploying the BEF is to have the system deploy 10 CW divisions on the continent in 4/40 and back the building of these units out from the reinforcement track/ Allied Production.? As the premier world power of the day, (no matter how precarious that was) of course they are going to take the battle to Germany on the continent.??And if they didn't, they would have looked like cowards to the rest of world.? All of the suggestions about political point awards underscores people's understanding that the British Army did not have the option to stay home.? The game designers got this one wrong.
