A related question is: who should you ally with starting off with France? So far I've chosen Bavaria. What's your secret French strategy?

1)DoW to Spain on August 1492
2)Assault like there is no tommorow.
3)Keep $$$ flowing into tresury to recruit more infantry.
4)Avoid batles.
5)Eventually you will conquer Spain.

Oh yea...

Bavaria will work. I like to have Helventia (mainly because of its' viscous terrain) , and Savoy on my side. They share a border w/you so their responce is quick. Plus they are quite easy to diplo-annex later.

Lorraine, Savoy, Navarra ... they're core provinces so you can diploannex them without any nationalism problems. (I think. Well I know Lorraine is.) And for some reason those Lorraine soldiers fight like... well .. Alsatians :D

I think Lorraine is the only one with French national shields on them.
