Right, yes the DeGaulle thing is of course correct.
Of course when it comes to wargames you have to have some type of universal unit parameters, so that is why we get into tank groups and armies and corps and all that, with them all being defined differently by each nation. So it is up to the game designers to go about whatever they are trying to convey for gameplay's sake.
However, in the case of the French (and Brits, I think, early on), the armour was very dispersed in an infantry support role. So there would be no equivalent to a SC2 tank group for the French. I would rather see off/def capabilities of the French armies reflect this. The DeGaulle moment - and that is a good phrase to use, I guess - isn't IMO significant enough to warrant a full tank group existing.
It is almost a way of saying, 'hey, the French had tanks, too, so we should at least have one tank group'.
Same issue for the Polish, although in the demo there is no Fall Weiss so I can't see what they have. But if they have a tank group, it's off. A few really great light tanks and they caused some problems, but not significant enough to warrant a full tank group.
Man, I hope someone is attending to this stuff. Or at least it is alterable by the editor.
Let me ask this - can France's army stats be altered by themselves, or does it affect all armies for all nations?
