Global 1940 French Rebalance

[General 6 Stars]

Here’s what we do in my game if your interested.
This maybe a simple way and maybe not for you guys.
I don’t believe in making Normandy an axis neutral. Historical wise.
If axis controls Normandy and only time is where if allies retake it back place 3 or 4 French inf there for free to represent the French Patriotism and or resistance.
If allies take back Paris place 6 inf there for same thing. But since there’s a major ic maybe just go with the 12 icp rule instead. Not gonna get into other debates on this game.

If you don’t bring enough allies to hold then that’s your fault. Lol

Also if London falls Ottawa becomes new capital and UK can collect money on its end of turn. Wether you make the IC in Quebec a major or make UK have to upgrade it. But only time in game if London falls.

Just my 2 and 1/2 cents.

@general-6-stars

Me too.

And due to my limited information, I can’t understand how those rules solve your problem.

[SuperbattleshipYamato]

@general-6-stars

That can work. Maybe too many French units though?

[General 6 Stars]

Then reduce inf. Test it best way. Maybe Simon has an opinion yet.
With 3-4 guys and 12 icps for Paris may not need a bid.
Should of been fixed in first place so no bid but IMO.

You guys don’t see the problem? I don’t know how I can explain it any clearer.

Ok. I don’t see it. Then maybe I do.

I don’t see how creating a quasi-Vichy France will allow the US to continue producing units even if Paris is liberated.

Please elaborate on your rules.

[General 6 Stars]

Maybe this would help. Lol

@general-6-stars

Is that a custom map? Any more explanation?

Or is that what simon33 posted?

Well, if/when USA lands on Normandy, assuming it can hold it with UK help, it can start producing units there. It can then build up a little and maybe take Southern France also. What it can’t do is proceed to Paris because then USA can no longer produce units in Normandy. Also, being next door to Germany’s major factory is a somewhat higher bar to defend than being next door to the minor factory in Paris which is a candidate for strategic bombing. So there are scenarios where trading Paris would be attractive for the allies but because it stops USA from producing units this does not occur.

It’s my custom map. It was kinda of a joke where if allies land they can hold and build.
But I’ll remove if need be.

[General 6 Stars]

Why can’t US build units in Normandy if they move out ? They have a minor factory there.

Reason for the free French units is what I meant by my suggestion may help allies hold Normandy. But seems u want something different. If u do Vichy then it should be for all French territories and not just 1 or 2. But

If they liberate France then all Allied controlled originally French TTys revert to French control. Better to leave France be so you can keep using the Factory.

Ya I get that. Hold it. If game unbalanced as they say then give them free inf to help hold and bomb the crap out of Paris.

[simon33]

It already does that but it isn’t enough.

[SuperbattleshipYamato]

@simon33

So you want a bigger bonus for liberating France? Got it.

[simon33]

I wouldn’t say a bigger one off bonus but a removal of the ongoing penalty for trading paris.

I suppose you can argue that the allies can’t trade London or India oob but this weakness is already resolved in bm so the next thing to fix is the Paris problem.

@simon33

What’s BM?

[simon33]

Balanced Mod.
