in the last WWW Germany took the focus called " Around Maginotline" it gives dem a claim on Belgium and Luxembourg. Wouldn't be faster to use the facime CB?
We got rid of the fascist CB. it was a bit too OP. Fascists instead get a huge reduction in justification time now and that plays a lot better with the rest of the game rules.
so with that the focus sure has value but its most important job is to help out the AI. AI understands declaring war on single nations to open up fronts like in this case, but the whole istuation with the low countries is really complex and requires declaring on *both* belgium and netherlands at once for best effect (belgium only has a single province toward germany otherwise which is quite defendable and they just need a few days of germany not going full blitz mode for france to react and start shifting defenders where you dont want them, which is enough to completely change how the war will play out).
