Dutch are part of the Allies, they are not neutral. Dutch territories have always been valid landing zones for Allied aircraft.
Rule “change” is a clarification and not an actual change, I agree.
My point is that having France go first but not letting them attack Italy is pointless because they won’t be able to do anything otherwise except maybe buy 3 submarines or 6 infantry (not insignificant extra units).
@SuperbattleshipYamato I personally don’t think they should go first as well.
@SuperbattleshipYamato It’s a fun change but not something I would make standard.
@FranceNeedsMorePower yes that is something that i would very much like, a french transport. Around West Africa for exemple.
@Cornwallis Yes
Oztea has one in 82 SZ in his 41start
If you haven’t tried France goes first, you might want to give it a whirl. What can France do besides attack N Italy.
Why should France go first?
1a. After Germany went into Poland, the ball was in France’s court. They actually invaded Germany and then turned around and apologized. In this scenario, they don’t apologize.
1b. There is a 50 to 60 ipc imbalance at the upper levels. So bid or this or another house rule. The disadvantage to a bid is that poor purchase/placement can only highlight one’s lack of experience, skill, etc. This is a standardized, simple fix.
2. This is part of my handicapping system. Playing against a person who is not as good as you and still want a challenge–crockett’s time machine. You could even move back another notch and let Anzac start. Or even further.
@crockett36 @FranceNeedsMorePower @SuperbattleshipYamato @TheDesertFox here are my 2 cents on ANZAC.
@Cornwallis Nice video I really enjoyed it, I do agree the best strategy for Anzac is a sub navy.
I agree with the main points you made in the Pacific.
