Yes France has to fall turn 1 because otherwise the UK can renforce it. That means more losses turn 2. Its also one less turn Germany has to deal with the UK before America and Russia get into it.
Its like asking “Would it be crazy to leave the UK with a fleet after turn 1?”
Thats also yes…might as well conceede the game at that point.
by the way,
reading all the posts on french territorys in africa. all great ideas, with bases in dakar andsub bases in madagascar, but how in the world can they fit those places in on the upcomming AAE40 and keep it in scale with the AAP40 map? somebody explain how this can possibily work.
I am sure they made both maps before they released Pacific or at least had a good idea of what it was going to look like.
