Updated France '40 ALT art / scenario pack

[Tortue Agile]

If I seem defensive then I do appologize.

I guess I am having flashbacks of when I was play testing F40 years ago when lower French unit ratings were initially suggested. If I recall correctly, it met with similar reaction. So perhaps I subconciously continued the discussion. ;)

Didn't see that post... I have been coherent since the first day I worked on that game. I used one book from a German historian who published his work in 1995 (in German, then a few years later in French and finally in 2006 in English). His view of the campaign is somewhat different from his predecessors but he used very good sources (German and French). So I have tried since reading that book to come up with the most historical rating for the French army.

The big problem with the campaign is that it is difficult to recreate the breakthrough in the Ardennes without having the French already ready for a strong defense in the sector (on in a central position ready to react). We have the knowledge of the Campaign, of the German Strategy and of the French mistakes. And to add to all that, there is no surprise in the German attack.

Now I think it would be better to start the Campaign on the 12 or 13 to give less time to the allies to prepare. ;)
