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.

@McMan:

We’re about to start a game of Europe. Should we use Alpha with the blue changes?

My suggestion is to go ahead and use the Alpha with blue changes.  Our battle group just played a game of E40 this past Saturday and we used that setup and rules.  We did, however, change US NO #1 to read:

1. Collect 10 IPCs per turn for complete control of the continental US (CUS, EUS).

@Tavenier:

Did you place the 4 free inf in Paris for France?

Yes. And I got a third round of good returns. I doubt I’ll see another game any time soon where France puts up that much of a fight.

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?

I’ve said it many times, by why not do it again! :-D

Yeah

Also in 5 and 6 China can be with the Russians.

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

@lnmajor:

by the way,
reading all the posts on french territorys in africa. all great ideas, with bases in dakar andsub bases in madagascar, but how in the world can they fit those places in on the upcomming AAE40 and keep it in scale with the AAP40 map? somebody explain how this can possibily work.

I am sure they made both maps before they released Pacific or at least had a good idea of what it was going to look like.

@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.
