Just wondering what your trying to do?
If you want to see a specific setup just load it into TripleA.
France's role in Global 1940 SE

I’m a intermediate Global player so I don’t really have much for advice about a French bid. As Janus said, a transport might be useful.
If you’re looking to play Global with more French units, I suggest Oztea’s 1941. It also has some additional ANZAC units.

I recommend using the UHD map UHD World War II Global You have to activate in “Game Options”. At some point I’ll decouple it and make it a stand alone.

@SuperbattleshipYamato you land the fighters from malta and gibraltar on the carrier and the tac bomb if he survives in S France.
-
@The-Janus @barnee I really like the idea of the transport and Tac. The airbases and naval bases don’t seem to catchy for me. Where would the transport go?
-
Doesn’t make much of a difference. It’s literally only one combat point (of whatever we call it).
-
@SuperbattleshipYamato yes of course. It was just to make sure you have the right amount of units in the sea zone. Nonetheless this move can only be done if germany doesn´t go for the cruiser in G1, doesn´t send the BB in 110 and sends a fighter to tobruk.

@FranceNeedsMorePower said in France's role in Global 1940 SE:
Where would the transport go?
Like I said, someplace defensible – so either out of the way (maybe Madagascar, or French West Africa) or else it would have to be somewhere you’d actually be able to muster enough defense to keep it alive.
(I’m just sort of assuming the conventional rule for bid units is they have to be in/on/adjacent to your own territory, or at least in SZ where you already have ships, if not adjacent to your own territory.)
If you’re planning to send the British fleet to Southern France, maybe you even put it there? What intrigues me is whether there’d be any scenario where you could get the units from either Normandy-Bordeaux or Southern France off of the continent before they’re killed; it’d be tricky to figure out the right positioning where the transport would be left alone.
-
Our best hope, if we want to evacuate Normandy-Bordeaux, would be putting the transport in sea zone 110, pray Germany does something weird and hits sea zones 109, 111, 93, 106, and/or 91 and doesn’t invade Normandy-Bordeaux. Then we can evacuate them on France’s first turn, probably the only time they can evacuate it (unless the German player just leaves the territory alone for a while).
This is pretty obvious though and if I were the German player I’d definitely go after sea zone 110 to prevent this. You never know…
-
@SuperbattleshipYamato I love how you called it weird, lol. I could see the A.I. missing this possibly.

Thank you!

@Cornwallis I love your ideas. This is way better than the regular strategy. I will do this playing the U.K.
-
Thanks for revealing your strategy!
-
Nice. I’ll try it out by myself sometime.
