I have some questions about the new game.
How do you know were to place the French units? I do not see them on the setup charts.
Is it a balanced game?
What are the rules for stacking?
What are the rules for supplies?
I believe the rules are 8 units per territories unless otherwise indicated with a number on the board.
I believe French troops can placed anywhere on formerly Vichy French territory.
Supplies are too complicated to explain, the online rulebook is available here:
@SuperbattleshipYamato Regarding the French question could you show me where it says that. When I look at pictures of the full setup there is always 2 guys to the left, 2 guys in the middle, then 2 guys and a tank on the right.
@FranceNeedsMorePower I misspoke the tank is in the middle.
@SuperbattleshipYamato Also how do the French pieces work? Do you get a guy and a tank for free each turn or do you have to buy it? What is the difference in between buying a green tank and a blue one?
Screenshots are from the Axis and Allies North Africa Rulebook.

They are on the German Set Up Charts.
- Is it a balanced game?
Yes, very balanced. Rommel’s Last Push the Axis have the initiative. In Operation Torch the Allies have the initiative.
- What are the rules for stacking?
Standard is 8 per Territory per side. Some territories are different as listed on the game board.
- What are the rules for supplies?

Using US RPs you may buy one French infantry and one French tank if the Allies control Oran. French units fight as US units. The big difference is the French units deploy to Oran instead of a Convoy Zone, thus, they are usable on the Turn they are purchased. The units characteristics are on the Reference Charts.
@AndrewAAGamer good day.
If America fails to eliminate the 2 French Inf in a territory , does it need to spend a Supply to attavk again on R2 and R3 etc?
I see from thr rules , there must be a result in each of the three territories, so the battles could go any number of Rounds, if the French hit the Americans on R1, keeping the defenders Vichy and not Free.

Yes

Correct. During playtesting additional supply was added to the US side to lower the chance that the Americans would run out of supply before some result was determined.
@AndrewAAGamer Thank you for the help! Can the Vichy French Pieces move if they defeat the Americans?
@AndrewAAGamer I have a question about the French supply trucks. I know they are add on pieces but if you did add them on what would be a good way to use them? Is their a optional rule in the rulebook that talks about them?

Nope.
Per the Rulebook Page 29

They were added to make your own scenarios. There is no Renegade recommendation as how to use them.
@AndrewAAGamer thanks for explaining.
