The supply situation for both sides is pretty desperate and may be a weakness.
The landing areas for the French are widely separated, and if you don't connect with them, especially the port landing area, it will become a disaster. Only play after studying the reinforcement entry hexes. Even then, the British have the resources to make it very difficult for the French to connect their landing zones.
