Is France going to be a regular army?

@FranceNeedsMorePower

Sounds about right.

@Bruda_Iz:

How about a similar rule but for the allies in Italy…. something like the minute Rome is taken all Italy kicks out Musilini and becomes and Allie?  LOL

Haha, that’s not a bad idea, actually – it adds some balance to the Vichy rules. You could make it that if Rome is captured, Italy is restored as an Allied country, played by whoever took their capitol.

they don’t get money, until the capitol is liberated.

These sound like really neat house rules. If the allies seem to win too many games over here we will probably use them. Potentially turning all of north africa over to the germans.

Tons of fun stuff with the french. Imagine the germans being able to move french soldiers around africa but the french turn back allied first time normany is landed in!

I play a bit of War At Sea as well. Reading the back of the french cards is entertaining. Ships escaping port and german capture with unfinished guns. Ships firing at americans landing in africa.

Heck, am i remembering right that the british landed in madagascar to liberate it from the french? Wasnt the HMS Barham or the Ramilles or some other old battleship there?

Even superpowers had a limit on the military establishment it could afford to maintain.

I don’t like the idea of adding units to a small country not at war; however I think the assignment of units to the neutrals could have been more imaginative, for example giving the likes of Brazil and Spain small navies, or Sweden some armour.  But these should be a once only build.

Unless perhaps you’d like to give Sweden a minor complex.

@TitusAndronicus:

I think what he’s saying is Russia controls the fate of the game, which is probably true.  It dictates how much resources the UK and US can put into the Pacific and Africa to keep the Axis away from the IPC pinata.  A strong Russia will instigate pressure on the Germans with minimal western support while a weak Russia forces the Allies to play piggyback the Reds and provide a weaker defense against Japan.

Probably yes because russia is usually what determines the game. If russia holds until Western help can arrive or better yet, take germany then allies usually win. If russia falls axis usually win.

Agreed. Very true.

@Croesus:

you people overcomplicate things.
The way the rules are is the way they stay! please! I don’t wan’t to have to learn a new set of rules every time.
It’s great to add powers and intrigue, but please, you overdo it

I am sorry for the above grammatical/spelling/capitalization mistakes

We don’t make any changes, we only make suggestions.
