Yeah, I kind of agree with you Variance. Europe is where most of the action is. Plus, if you just play Europe, it takes up a lot less space on the table.
Yet, every time I think, let’s just play Europe, I already start to miss the Japanese. I just can’t seem to get into a game without the Japanese making trouble on the other side of the board.
What Scupts to use for France
-
What needs to stand out on the French tank is two things.
It has to look like its from the 30’s. Fit that style etc.
It also has to have a small looking main weapon. Most French tanks didnt go over 75mm guns, or even get close to that number.
The Italian and Japanese tank molds fit that style more than the…
German Tank - An Icon of WWII
US Tank - An Icon of WWIIAnd the other two tanks look too heavy set and rugged
USSR Tank - The T-34 Monster (although it is in a 30’s style)
UK Tank - Near 1940’s Style, and a big looking tank.The French tank has to look inadiquite and small. The french doctrine was to use Tanks like cavalry, but that isnt their true purpose, yet there are similarities. The French Tanks were nimble, but too small to breaktrough. They were used to flank german formations, but since the german formations they encountered were tanks themselves, the french were out gunned. The french put their big guns on the Maginot line, in bunkers…tanks that were to big to move. And they split the difference with light tanks.
Armored warfare is not one of extremes, it requires a solid tank, well rounded speed, armor, weaponry. Because tanks are most usefull in formations on their own, with mechinized infantry support sprinkled in.

My guess is that the french will only last two turns max. And all those french pieces will sit in their tray.
(Rank = 69)

Judging by the 5 tray pacific….france wont even have its own tray

I guess Italy and France must share tray. That is no problem since they propably wont get many pieces. Italy got 2 cruisers in AA50, now they might got 1.

I can’t wait to see what FMG is going to offer.

but china got its own tray and it only has infantry. be optimistic guys! how many armies are going to be in europe?

Hell put them in their own gamebox. That way after Round 1 you can put them away until the next game.

Put them in a holiday gift basket with Pate and Brie.

To quote Groundskeeper Willy just put the “Cheese eating surrender monkey’s” in the same box with the Chinese. There is maybe 15 pieces in it anyway.
