what about if you keep the inf/art that was along the coast along with the tanks you add… then if you do retake france, you stand a better chance of holding against the next wave of allied landings, which may not be a whole lot stronger than the last as they are using trains of transports.
i’ve not played much AAE, Rundstedt looks like a good deterrent, especially early. maybe alternating landing zones by brits from uk and americans out of algeria into france and vichy france could split the defense though…
