Re: France's role in Global 1940 SE @FranceNeedsMorePower
@Cornwallis said in France's role in Global 1940 SE:

@FranceNeedsMorePower

This is a wild idea i want to try:

https://youtu.be/ZQDC0iGa7UY?feature=shared

To avoid derailing the France thread, I’m making a new topic here.

I think this is an interesting idea, insofar as it does keep the US fleet in a relatively safer position. You end up 1 turn behind (essentially the turn you’d spend moving units to Mexico) compared to something that just relies on going from port to port.

But you have also hit on something that I noticed as well: the pathing from West Africa to Egypt is much shorter than going through North Africa. (6 spaces from Morocco to Egypt vs. 4 spaces from West Africa to Egypt)

The other thing that it immediately makes me think is, “Well, this is just like walking guys up to Canada and shucking them over to the UK.” The difference being that we’re assuming a strong German air/naval force in that region, thus making the southern route more desirable. But the upshot of any tactic that lands extra US forces in the UK is that it safeguards against a sealion attempt.

This video also made me realize (unintuitively) that the J1 attack makes the Europe game much easier for the Allies; getting the Americans in early can be a huge swing, but there’s basically no incentive for Germany/Italy to ever do it (maybe if you really wanted to take a shot at the US’s fledgling navy? maybe? I guess…?)
