HankWWIIOnline Posted February 2, 2003 Share Posted February 2, 2003 In my current multiplayer game, I pulled all my forces off the stagnant Russian front to combat the Allies who were about to attack my poorly defended defenses at the Rhine. It was the Battle of the Bulge, essentially, but in 1943. Anyway, I happened to make a break in the Southern part of France and reached their capital. France surrendered...again. Humiliating, yes...but at this point it was unrealistic. The Americans had units attacking the Rhine, with a couple French units behind them including an HQ. When I grabbed Paris and France surrendered, these units disappeared and I took over the country again. While the game is a moot point at this stage, I still think it's a bit silly for France to be able to surrender again and lose their remaining units. They've been Free French this whole time, the Allies are banging on Germany's door...and they surrender! They would have actually had to march THROUGH the American lines to get to my units. "Well then, Yanks...that's it for us then. Good luck in the war!" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pzgndr Posted February 2, 2003 Share Posted February 2, 2003 You're obviously not aware of French Army battle drill training. In cadence: Drop rifle, raise arms, one!; drop rifle, raise arms, two!; etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JerseyJohn Posted February 2, 2003 Share Posted February 2, 2003 I don't think they actually surrender, just disband, and who could blame them? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shaka of Carthage Posted February 3, 2003 Share Posted February 3, 2003 First, let me apologize to the Europeans, particularly the French for what I am about to say. What is the 1st Rule of French Warfare? French armies are only victorious when not led by a Frenchman (remember Joan of Arc?). What is the 2nd Rule of French Warefare? France only wins when others do most of the fighting. And finally, only during the World Wars were French women able to sleep with winners who did not call them Fraulein. The orginator of the above, as well as the complete history of French warfare, can be found here: http://silflayhraka.blogspot.com/2003_01_19_silflayhraka_archive.html#90229835 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JimR Posted February 6, 2003 Share Posted February 6, 2003 Sounds to me like the Allied player was asleep at the wheel and didn't keep Paris garrisoned. It served him right! (It was me.) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
