F 40 Question - jonnymacbrown - 06-22-2017

Noticed once again that in the original game the crack french infantry division units @ 14 Defense, but the Volcano Man mods have them @ 16. It sure makes a difference: I remember in one campaign game I played I had some B rated 14 Defense Tunisians dug in on a ridge and after a two turn fire fight with an ordinary German division they just got chewed up! Did the original design have the lower french defense to help insure an historical outcome? jonny Mex Big Grin

Difficult to answer as the original designer is not around to comment.

The problem is all the stock scenarios are really good conceptually but you can't get into a firefight with German infantry toe-to-toe because the french just get chewed up. It forces one to play the Volcano Man mods. jonny Whistle

That's why it is great to have Ed's _alt scenarios so you can play both versions and see which is to your personal taste, the more choice the better. Big Grin
