All these AARs; why don't you mention the French units?

    So far, I have played 2 Europe games.  In the first game, the Allies won and in the second, the Axis won.
    In the second game, it seemed as though the Axis couldn’t get a bad roll.  The French pieces were all pretty much trounced, but then again so were the British pieces.  Paris was taken in round 1 and London in round 2.  Due to a massive German buildup, Operation Barbarossa was a huge success and Italy not only cleared out Africa but managed to send a strong force up through Iraq and Persia to give the Russians a further front to worry about.  Italy ended up capturing Stalingrad.
    In the first game however, the French were very active.  The Med fleet was lost, but cost the Italians dearly (damaged BB, lost CA, lost fighter).  The French DD from SZ 72 assisted the British CA in the Med, along with a British tac bomber from South Africa, in not allowing the Italians any more naval units and keeping them penned up in Italy.  The African and Syrian French Infantry were used to guard Egypt for a while then moved via US transports to retake Southern France.  The US eventually liberated Paris, gaining the French 4 extra infantry plus their income back.  They did indeed purchase 2 tanks and an artillery and on the next round actually took Western Germany.  On the following round the US took Berlin and ended the game.
    So, at least in the first game, my French pieces saw a lot of activity which was pretty cool because I like playing with the new pieces.  It makes me wish that there were at least a few pieces stationed in French Indo-China.  I’m sure Japan would simply trash them quick but it would be neat to have them there at start.
