This is great, thanks, but I think you are missing a fighter in Norway. :-)

Great work, just looking at this made me more anxious for the 24th of August to get here  :-D

You are missing a bomber in Germany?

Strange deployment of the BEF in France.  In reality they were based in the north near the Belgian border, so should really be in the splendidly named “Flanders-Normandy-Brittany-Aquitaine-Gascony” territory.

Since no retreats are allowed it looks like there’ll be no Dunkirk this time. Or is it assumed to have already happened since there’s a Frenchie already supping in Blighty?

They cant fit that lame title on the map. There is no correct name for that area, because its the coastline and the game starts just when the BEF got cut off or was about too.

North-West France would’ve done for me.  The names of tts on this map are all over the place.

I imagine the designer’s feeling was that if the BEF was in the north they’d have scarpered over the channel and left the Frenchies to their fate.  Wonder what gave them that idea.

North-West France would’ve done for me.

Bay of Biscay is not North-west France. But the allies did land in Normandy and since that is the only reason why the coastline was made like it was, it should convey that reason. But the coast line includes Normandy,Pas De Calais,Brittany, Le Harve, and North Sea Beaches.

Their are no correct answers because like 90% of these areas are not conventional territories. They are made just to facilitate the game for whatever reason.

Yes, but I still dislike the use of “France”, “Russia”, “United Kingdom” etc for what is only the capital territory.

Why have “Poland” and “Eastern Poland” when “Western Poland” and “Eastern Poland” makes so much more sense?

Does anyone have the definitive answer re: Northern Ireland; i.e. can an infantry move from Scotland into Eire without sea transport?

Yes.

Yes.

That’s weird though.
