Some questions about France '40

[alaric99x]

I agree, Dog Soldier, it's necessary to know when to do what.

As allied player, I would start a slow withdrawal right from the start, trying to preserve as much of the force as possible. I would, however, in this particular game, leave behind some high strength unit, maybe with AT guns, in every bunker and fortified hex, knowing how weak the German side is in AT strength and how much of a delay this can cause even when those units become isolated. As in so many other scenarios and campaigns, I find too many opponents try to hold the front for too long, instead of trading space for time. It then becomes a surround and kill exercise for the attacker. Count your victory point hexes, determine your last line of defense that will still give you a victory, then withdraw and preserve forces to that line in as orderly a manner as possible.
