Question on morale loss for France

Hi
Playing 1.05 it seems that morale loss for France when Germany declares war on Belgium has changed, is it supposed to work depending on different circunstances? I can´t find anything in the 1.05 manual

yes, as I understand it, if you DOW Belgium in poor weather, you do not get the DOW benefit on units in France. I dont think the manual has been updated yet as this was a minipatch change I think.

Ok, I have declared war on Belgium with fair weather, but France still doesn´t get the morale penalty. I am playing GS 1.05 in PBEM and this is the second time it happens (I asked the first time because I wasn´t sue about dates, but this time I am deadly sure) Is there mybe a bug there?

Hi,
Are you sure it was the Central Europe weather zone that was clear?

What game turn was it?

I've just tested a DOW against Belgium in Oct 31 Clear Weather and the -20 penalty kicked in for the French, so it does seem to work in some cases at least.

It was February, I checked the weather in the Belgian hexes to be sure and there was fair time

I ran two tests. One hotseat and the other as the axis versus the allied AI. I got "lucky" in the hotseat game and got a clear weather turn on February 28, 1941. I confirmed that a DOW against Belgium did result in a 20 point effectiveness loss for units in France. In the second test, I kept playing the end of the January 19, 1940 turn until I got a fair weather turn for February 8, 1940. When I DOW Belgium the units in French again suffered a 20 point effectiveness loss.
