Thanks for the work.

produit wrote:Played the France map for the first time. If I remember well, it is the old PG map. On this map, you added quite a lot of aircraft, putting even a lot of high quality aircrafts. Moreover, on the original PG I think there was 1-2 additional Me109. You added also quite a lot of tanks. As a result, the map become quite difficult. Capturing all VH takes quite a lot of time.

A really "bad" point is that most of the southern city are empty of units. I would add fixed infantry units in all city and increase the number of turn by 2-3 to let the player take those city. It will change the feeling that nearly all enemy units are killed when you take Paris and that the rest is just moving around an capturing VH. Moreover, if I read well, for the MV, you have to capture all objectives. If it is the case, the difference between MV and DV is really small: keeping the train intact to put it into Paris...

Finally, thank you to have added railroads. They are really useful on this huge map.

Thanks for your input.
The intention was to make it easy once you break through the British-French "Gothic" line. The lack of enemy units passed that point is to reinact the lack of reinforcements, defaitism and a failing command structure.
As you said, the railroads do pay off. All maps got them, with the exception of Crete.
But as you suggest, I will add a few aux planes and place a few infantry in the southern cities and perhaps a piece of capturable equipment?

Your suggestion seem really great. Thanks for the work. I always enjoy capturable equipement...

Perhaps, but I don't think that the german troops entered the cities on trains, as you can make it now... The idea would be to put at minimum a "garrison" in each city. It can remain reduced, such as a simple infantry with a strenght of 5. With this solution, you will need to take the city with troops and not with trains...
