Some questions about France '40

[JDR Dragoon]

While we are at it, I'd like to ask why the Gross Deutschland outfit is rated A considering this was its 1st campaign and also why the North African divisions are rated mostly C & D while the same outfits are A & B in 1914? Thanks jonny
:rolleyes:

Because of two factors:

-The historical result is known.

-There is no possible way to force the french and british player(s) to play as stupidly as they historically did. In addition, there is no way to simulate the lack of intelligence and the command paralysis this induced in the allied high command. The PzC allied player will know EXACTLY which axis units he is in contact with at the start of each turn, where they are and likely also have an idea about their approximate status

Hence the french in particular has to short-changed in order to reach a situation where the axis can actually win (and the germans get a boost to their morale to boot). If you based the morale of the french units on how they actually conducted themselves in combat during the campaign, the level of training they had received (and for the reserve units: how well that training had been maintained and how onerous the tasks they were meant to accomplish were) the axis would not stand a chance.
