France and Munich

[ppccctu]

Playing as Germany , I am currently doing the "Build Westwall" national focus, and, by the time it's complete, I will have gathered the 725,000 man army needed to "Demand Sudetenland" from Czechoslovakia. My problem is that France (they have not yet joined the Allies) is guaranteeing the independence of Czechoslovakia. I am fearful that such a guarantee means that Czechoslovakia will automatically refuse to accept my demands and I will have to go to war with France and Czechoslovakia as a result. Is there any chance that France will back down when the crunch comes as they did at Munich in the 1930s, and, if so, is there anything I can do to encourage that development?

Normally this is accepted in the game with hystorical actived

Don't worry about it. France starts the game guaranteeing Czechoslovakia, and it has no bearing on the outcome of Munich. As Vlad said, France will back down if Historical mode is active but even if it isn't the AI is heavily weighted to back down unless something unusual is happening. In the event that France does back down, their guarantee is revoked.

To be honest, if you play in non historical settings, czech usually refuses sudetaland. What I did like 3-4 months ago, I copied a saved from 1-2 days before the focus finishes, and check if czechs give me sudetaland.

I think I had 3x24 inf division army and some tanks they refused. (I also had 1 more 24 inf army in training)
-savescum-
deployed the army in training so 4x24 inf div, they accepted.

So the conclusion is if you have much bigger army deployed, they tend to accept. However I cannot validate it nomore

As has been said, the guarantee doesn't matter. Because the Munich Conference is a relatively refined event chain, the guarantees get removed if the British and French yield.
It doesn't stop the AI re-guaranteeing them though, so if you've pissed the allies off enough you'll still go to war with all of them.

Also of note, the AI is hardcoded to not give you the Sudetenland if you've won an offensive war previously.
