I suggested something similar a few months ago in a Historical Varient I am working on.
It went like this
"The Growing FREE FRENCH
I have given France the ability to build new units even though Paris is under the Axis boot. They are produced in the same way Chinese Forces are produced in AA50 (With revision) For every 4 territories France can build ONE INFANTRY unit. MAX ONE unit can be placed per territory. This will recreate the slow build of FREE FRENCH forces coming from all over the Empire but not allow them to over power the Axis at any one point alone. Indeed they will sometimes be a burden to the Western Allies as they may need to be Transported around etc… as was the case."
thank you very much, I should have figured that’s what it was, I actually love the national objectives, particularly Lebensraum; even though the historical link between lebensraum and the actual launching of Barbarossa is slightly tenuous. I found as a historian the national objectives (NO) really adds to the game because it really grounds the action in concrete history.
