What Scupts to use for France

@Eisenhower

Hey man, with the Naval Base on America’s Eastern USA territory, you can reach Sea Zone 91, bordering Gibraltar and Morocco. You can drop troops in either. Note that your ships can only pass through into the Mediterranean if the Allies control Gibraltar.

You can also get back in one turn via the Naval Base there.

If Germany is building an air fleet, make sure the UK puts an Air Base in Gibraltar for scrambling.

I use OOB rules.
I bought this game in November and play one on one against my usual A&A opponent.
We’ve played seven games so far and the axis have won four…allies three. So we think it’s pretty balanced…the only thing we don’t like is the starting IPC’s for Italy. You can’t buy sh*t with that and they lose half of their starting fleet before it’s their turn.
But since the axis have won four out of seven it hasn’t really affected the overall outcome.

Yes France has to fall turn 1 because otherwise the UK can renforce it. That means more losses turn 2. Its also one less turn Germany has to deal with the UK before America and Russia get into it.

Its like asking “Would it be crazy to leave the UK with a fleet after turn 1?”

Thats also yes…might as well conceede the game at that point.

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?

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?

I typically play with 2-3 people. Too many people makes the game waaaay to slow and too few makes it too boring.

They will become Germans…

@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.
