lol, that would be funny.
but then the allied player would not be able to use the French piece to defend France and kill Germans.
But then also he would have less Vichy forces left to fight against the allies when they land. Depending on how france is set up in the game they may want to do what they can to make it bad for Germany. If you had a “on turn x the Soviets do X” then it would not matter either way and the French can try to hold out or whatnot.
Frances defeat and the Soviets entry are not connected. The Soviets should be ready to attack on turn X regardless of what happens to france. its not related.
Wouldn’t it only make sence for the French player to surrender when all of his forces were destroyed and isn’t that historical?
They should surrender when paris is captured
I mean if France decides if they are going to surrender after every one has taken there turn, they would only surender if they were beaten and had no way of fighting, just like what accually happened.
yes so lets leave out the linked entry of the Soviets because its forcing france to so all kinds of ahistorical things.
In most games I think France would surrender their first turn, but with this rule there is an elegeant way to reprsent vichy france and it does offer the possiblity that France will survive to fight in the second turn while not wrecking game balance.
france should not surrender unless they are beaten. Nobody would play france if they just “go away on turn X”
Capitals are the VC along with VC, so in France’s case both occur when paris falls.
Otherwise what is the point of starting May 10th.
Its to control Germany from separating its forces to capture little nations and having to regroup to take france. If it has too many pieces to and can do both, it will get too strong too fast and imbalance the game. The choice was to script the first battle and make it easy to just get after france. Otherwise we have the attack Egypt people showing up and telling everybody YOU MUST TAKE EGYPT ON TURN g1 or the game is lost kind of thing. Now Germany does not bite more than it can chew and many more historical battles are now possible. My 2 cents
