What Scupts to use for France

If you do go down to Italian Somaliland with that transport, you could bring the transport from India with two units to help. That and the bombardment is usually successful.

***I think this is maybe posted in the Europe 40 group and my comment would only apply to Global.

If there ever is a third edition I could see new French units for Europe and new US units in the PTO.

Great idea!�  I love it.�  That would definitely solve the question of how to introduce a new set of equipment pieces in Pacific to balance an upgraded French equipment set in Europe.

See Larry, I’m full of good ideas! Just put me, KNP, CWO Marc, John Brown and all the other sculpt hounds in charge…. well at least of the sculpts.

I will second that! :-D

Besides, the Soviets aren’t even in the Pacific version, and West India is balanced by British Columbia, so it’s even there and the European UK doesn’t get more…

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?

@shintokamikaze:

yes,they become what ever nation enters infantry,and can move like normal infantry

Use in infantry pieces for the nation that has control over it.

@Imperious:

Well Italy vs UK in Egypt area, slightly favors the Italians.

BUT UK plays before Italy and Italy can lose its fleet on UK1, then UK can move out of Egypt and funnel troops for the counterattack.

Italy is weaker in this game than in AA50. Look at the setup and turn order. If Italy messes up the first turn it can be over for them and like dominoes, Germany becomes more weak.

What do Italy purchase? Fighters get rid of the British navy in the Med or land units to defend and help in Europe.

In terms of who shares a box with the French, I think it’d come down to how many territories they are set-up in.

If the other power is all over the map then the set-up text won’t leave room for the French set-up.

#726

This is why the only logical choice for who shares a box with France must be the USA which has very few territories on the map that can be populated initially. Unless you want An Axis player to share a box with their enemy.

Is this confirmed?

@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.
