[Global 1940] 2nd Revised Setup For France

@FranceNeedsMorePower

I think that works.

I don’t think there should be submarine in New Hebridies out of historical accuracy.

To make up moving the British units to Normandy Bordeaux the units in that territory should move into Paris.

The French transport in sea zone 105 is probably a better idea for Tamer of Beasts’ reasons.

@FranceNeedsMorePower That does sound fun but you still have the problem of Italy being underwhelming in the first place. I hesitate to add anything to France that could impact Italy in any meaningful way. Doing so would require an Italian change in setup, and if I understand correctly, the goal here is a little more excitement and possibly balance, not redoing the whole game. Changing the Italian setup because you changed France’s (beyond slowing Germany down) is more of an alternate edition than a house rule.

@FranceNeedsMorePower My honest answer is that I think you are taking off more than you can chew at once. I suggest playtesting this in phases. Start with making minor adjustments to France (like the ones I suggested or similar). If that makes you happy-great! If not, then slowly add changes.

It seems right now that you are a little too eager to change everything, and I fear you will wind up disappointing yourself and never settling on anything.

Just my two-cents, but those are my honest thoughts. Start simple and give France a low-impact option or two.

@FranceNeedsMorePower Making the cruiser in 110 a BB wildly upsets the naval battle G1. While I respect the goal of powering up France, I stick with my previous comment about starting small. This move would take off at least 1 or 2 planes from Germany and likely preserve the Royal Navy elsewhere, causing later game shifts.

@FranceNeedsMorePower Pretty good. I’d leave the fighter in London though so it doesn’t mess up the naval battles the other way. Having the 3 fighter scramble is a valuable option. 2 simply wouldn’t cut it.

@FranceNeedsMorePower

Looks good!

I do agree with Tamer of Beasts that we should keep the French fighter there, or at least change it to a British one.

I think not adding anything to North Africa is fine. French forces weren’t that strong.

@FranceNeedsMorePower

Sure.

@FranceNeedsMorePower Absolutely,do NOT add a AB+NB to FIC in the set -up.It would be a very generous gift to Japan.

@FranceNeedsMorePower

That’s a better idea, especially since Japan is usually somewhat stretched to the limits on their declaration of war on the US.
