Shaka, I got the French HQ (Weygard) during turn 2. I didn't buy anything turn 1 and had to disband the French Navy and both colonial corps, the down side to this was that Italian readiness increased due to the 2 corps being disbanded. Luckily I didn't have to disband the French Air Force, which is at an undisclosed location at the moment. Comrade Trapp
