@ampdrive Italy declared war on UK to try to get a strategic edge before UK made the first move. The reason for going into France is to take an advantage of the fact that France clearly was fighting like shite and wanted to gain easy land.

@Imperious-Leader You could but like me trying to get France goes first, you basically have to change the entire game to get any mod to work.

@Faramir I get that but while Germany did beat France easy, they certainly didn’t do it in a week.

@MMC-Chuck You will soon learn that it makes Italy overpowered. I would buff UK. I once did a game where all the Axis and then all the Allies move at the same time so we can allow allied fighting on offensive and you learn very quickly that Germany and Italy can destroy the Allies in the Med in a single turn and protect all three Italian transports which basically puts UK in Africa on defense and Italy will get to Egypt before UK can take the Middle East.

@Faramir The objective is not necessarily to get France to survive, it’s to get France away from a script so the player has some freedom.

@aequitas-et-veritas You hit the nail on the head but another thing that needs to be said is that G40 is pro Axis to the extreme hence why the bid is so necessary. Some people out there think $12 is the magical number when I think in order to balance this game, you need at least $30 for the Allies.

@Swoldier No because if USSR is occupying a joint zone with Germany. On Germany’s turn, he could load and then declare war to bypass it hence why it’s not wise to use the cruiser to chase the transport but just move it one space out to block a possible attack.

@Swoldier What is does it because UK and Japan can share sea zones, it is possible to move UK ships into sea zones where you think Japan is going to load or unload units and then you park your ship in it. Then ANZAC declares war on Japan thus dragging UK into the fight and now Japanese shared Sea Zones are hostile thus on Japans turn, they now can’t load/unload due to the Sea Zone being hostile so they either have to leave or destroy the British ship. This is a good move is Japan is waiting to take Dutch money or Philli on J2 or J3.

I just played a game with the Allies getting $61 and it ended up with the Allies barely winning.
