@DoManMacgee Ture makes sense.

@vodot YES! I really want a full set of actual French Sculpts not just Blue Russian Sculpts.

It’s actually kinda in interesting story what happened to the carrier:

Why Béarn went there: After France’s defeat, Béarn sailed across the Atlantic carrying military aircraft (including U.S.-built planes purchased before the war) and gold from the French treasury. She stopped in Martinique rather than risk capture by the British or Germans.

What happened then: From mid-1940 to 1943, Béarn stayed in Fort-de-France harbor with her cargo. The U.S. monitored her closely, worried the gold and aircraft could be used by Axis forces. She didn’t join combat again until 1943, when she switched to the Free French side.

@DoManMacgee @Imperious-Leader @Faramir @SuperbattleshipYamato I’ll probably house rule it and make them useful and buyable.

@SlammerIV Infantry will be bought at the end-ish but I think but not as much as other things.

@vodot You know the French actually had one aircraft carrier in ww2 and one work in progress,

1. Béarn –

Originally laid down as a Normandie-class battleship after WWI, but converted into an aircraft carrier in the 1920s.

By WWII she was quite outdated: slow (about 21 knots), poorly armored, and not capable of operating modern aircraft effectively.

At the start of the war she mostly ferried aircraft rather than conducting carrier operations.

After the fall of France in 1940, she went to Martinique in the Caribbean and stayed neutral under Vichy control until 1943, when she joined the Free French.

J2. offre-class carriers –

Planned modern fleet carriers (two ordered: Joffre and Painlevé) intended to give France a competitive naval aviation capability.

Construction began before WWII, but Joffre was only about 25% complete by 1940. Both were canceled after the German invasion.

@Raply112 Hope you enjoy it!

@Ramstark I’m not quite understanding your question, all unit stats are on the Reference charts that come with the game.

@Titus These are wonderful, I wish renegade would make a mat for Global using your design for the map.

@Gibsonrick81 Ah good to see you on A&A.org! I’m “PresS BesS!” from youtube! Your videos are great! Sadly I have had no time to finish stitching my videos together yet. Hope your doing well!

@Titus I will look into to that thanks!

@barnee Ah yes! It’s the name to my You tube channel! It’s a remixed version of my actual name combined with a remixed version of the word best.

So like this -

Preston Best = PresS BesS!

It’s basically just a matter of shuffling on the keyboard to make something that sounds cool. Although, it did originally come from my Father.

This is just an idea, but should the Germans instead of crushing the soviets really hard early on just focus on a really strong supply line with troops into Stalingrad? Basically only aiming for the victory condition’s.

@Gibsonrick81 I’m hoping to get around to it soon. Worse case, I may not have it till thanksgiving. Just because then I will have a lot more time on my hands for a few days.
