We didn’t have a chance the moment our Minister of Defense André Maginot came to power.

I am not familiar with him. Was he an imbecile or something? I guess he must have been if the French defenses evaporated like they did when the Germans came.

The French were divided politically. I LOVE reading about the political situation in France before dur furhur boot scooted into France.

I’m surprised no one has mentioned a Blitzkrieg 1940 scenario, focused on the German invasion of the Low Countries and France.

The factions would be Germany, France, Benelux, Italy, and the UK.

Who are Benelux?

ANZAC is Australia and New Zealand Army Corps. They merge countries that are small and colse together to make it easier

That would be really cool it would feel like a full scale AA game but there would still be some cool new rules like the other theater games.

Do you think a good bonus would be, to hold an control the Magoint Line

@Dylan:

Personally… no I don’t think so. It would effectively be a border between the countries, right? And it had little tactical impact on the war, also correct? It would seem kind of pointless, especially as a bonus, since the Line was not a source of income… but was it a French morale booster?

Who would this bonus be for? France I assume.

[Dylan the Canadian]

yes, France, but where would Britain be located, in their island, or just through France?

Huh?

[SilverAngelSurfer]

@Dylan:

I guess that depends on the scale determined for the game.  If the scale is large enough that UK forces in Great Britain would have an impact on the game, then the map should be large enough to include the British Isles.  However, if the scale is smaller since the whole blitzkrieg attack happened relatively rapidly (14 days from when they were at the line to when the fighting stopped), then it would be irrelevant, as the scaled movement of troops wouldn’t allow for any British forces from the Isles to make it to the battleground in time.  In that case the map would be smaller.  All that has to be determined in game development.

No I don’t think so.
While NOs are supposed to keep players to the historical script, encouraging them to stick with strategies that having hindsight they would not adopt and prevent them from doing “outlandish” things like taking Moscow from the East, in this case I think just an initial deployment in the Maginot line’s location would suffice.

I don’t think you need to handcuff the French to that zone.

Mind you this is said without knowing what the initial deployments and strengths will be. And IMTO if the French are ridiculously potent then something needs to bring them down to earth.

Does his last name not seem familiar? He’s the fool who invented the Maginot Line and encouraged the Government to spend untold millions on it.

I want a A&A North Africa with sea battles, land battles, air battles, and logistical support

I am interested in a North African or Mediterranean Theater game as well. I have been work on my own version over the past year. I have some rules that a friend and me have test a couple of times but it needs work. the map i created can be found at the following link. This pdf has the starting setup - November 1940 - with the British fleet ready for the Taranto raid.

How do you print individual tiles of this map?
