France

[Ghostglider]

I my last game as allied, we did not lose Paris in G1. In UK1 we stacked with everything we could and after a few mighty battles for Paris we lost it to Germany in G5. It can be done

One time we played a sort of alternative history game where France was actually part of the Axis with Germany and Italy.  It was neat to see France actually being a part of the game for a long time and actually buying units and working strategy.

That sounds interesting. I've been trying to come up with some Vichy France rules...

I have seen only 1 game in which France edured past the first round. By the end of Round 1 France had 8 infantry, 1 tanks and 7 fighters protecting Pairs and the collected 24 IPC (they had taken North Italy with a small force). With Severe German loses on turn 1 and the British acting as "can-openers", The French managed to storm into Berlin by turn 4(while Britian took Rome that same turn)! It was a fluke of a game but it was still fun!

I actually played a game today, a noob on Germany.

France held throughout the seven turn game.  I had UK fighters parked in Paris.  Germany didn't attack France on their first turn, giving me time to buy infr.  All in all Germany probably lost twenty units to Paris.  Struggled Germany,  on turn seven Berlin fell to the Soviet union.  Japan was over powered in the Pacific,  the axis conceded.
