R. 2 la R. Team said:Interesting changes... But France always so alone. And have you any problem to embark/disembark troops to Indochina with a fall of Djibouti? I would say with "the so far range" even with TPs alone (3000 km only if I remember right). Moreover now you could not use UK naval bases.
Well, 1936 it's starting, have fun and good luck!
I used a little trick, as having no access to UK naval bases is indeed a thorn on the French Navy's side. I ordered the TPs moored in Saigon to rebase to Marseilles, and stopped their movement at sea as soon as they reached the Horn of Africa. I then ordered French troops in Djibouti to embark into the TPs stopped at sea, and then the TPs were rebased to Hanoi.
As for France being alone, well, I wanted a hard game - when I play a "classic" WW2 with France the UK's only contribution is often a few squadrons of strategic bombers clogging my airbases, so I wanted to kind of officialize the AI state of mind and add a little spice to the game and AAR.
I must say I was (and still am, as the game year is now 1944) surprised by the results I got. When I set the AI aggressiveness as "Furious", I thought that meant "insanely aggressive", and not "furiously inactive". So while I enjoyed some respite which gave me time enough to complete the transformation of French land and air forces, in the end I had to set a few things in motion myself.
