Why are you using Gamelin to research a tech?  Even if he has every specialty for the tech, he'll still be slower then a level 3 tech team with no specialties.

Also, strategic redeployment is useful for avoiding year long marches of death through high attrition deserts.

He's 27 cents. How could I resist? Also I don't think I can strategically redeploy as it's actually a Gabonese army. I just have control over it. Also soon we'll have Motorized Divisions. Yay!

Oops...why did I write nine? Fixed update numbering.

Election Times! Left, Right or Keep Same Government? I actually hate keep same government so not that one. C'mon...if no one speaks up soon I'm just gonna pick one myself...

Go all the way to the political left. Turn France communist and formally ally with the Soviet Union, preventing Hitler from making a non-aggression pact with them. Also see what you can do about allying with Belgium and keeping a large army at the Belgian/German border. Squeeze Hitler like a zit.

Don't know about allying with the Soviets but Political Left it is. Also allying with Belgium is impossible because of their Isolationism. It'll only be possible once war is declared with Germany and then it'll be too late. However I will put up a poll for the Soviet thing next update.

[Eugenitor]

Well, then, fortify the Belgian border. I suspect that the Germans might try to come in that way. Just a hunch.

An alliance with the soviets is a no go.  They are already part of a major alliance (commitern) and they are max authoritarian, meaning they won't want to make an alliance with you.

I think he meant join the comintern. However I agree that that would go quite badly as they are geographically far away and unable to help us in case of war. I'm currently working towards an alliance with Turkey.

[Servant Corps]

It's not about having an ally to fight against the USSR, it is to prevent the USSR from selling Europe out via the Moltov Pact. If we have this alliance, Germany would be unable to acquire Poland and could become distracted with an early "Eastern Front" war.

An alliance with Turkey is nice, but an alliance with the USSR is vital for hemming in Germany, and quite potentially, stopping WW2 from even occuring in the first place.

I didn't see the election.  Vote liberally for the left wing candidate!

We can't ally with the Soviets without leaving our alliance with Republican Spain. And even then it'd be hard.

I've already picked left wing. Imma gonna go change the title now.

Update Eleven; Just another update

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

Chinese beat back Japanese

The Second Sino-Japanese War has been raging for two years now and China has always seemed on the retreat, or the defense. Shang-hai, one of the largest Chinese cities, has been in Japanese control for most of the war. Recently the Chinese people rebelled against occupying Japanese forces and with Chinese military support were able to drive the Japanese into the sea. Additionally constant revolts have forced Japan to create a puppet state within China in order to placate the peasants. At first glance the recent Chinese victories may seem good as Japan is a Fascist state and thus no friend to France. However China has been traditionally hostile to France, and if they beat the Japanese they may turn their eyes (and armies) to our Asian colonies...

The Chinese are certainly gaining some ground.


Intelligence War Continues

The "Silent War" between France and Italy is still going as a Franco-Italian is killed for crimes against the state. Additionally a man shot on the Italian border is identified as another Italian Spy. There is talk of sending all Franco-Italians to internment camps but many are opposed to the idea. We ask our readers, should all Franco-Italians be interned? As always simply mail us your response.





PLD (Parti Libéral Démocrate) Wins Minority Government

The Democrats won a minority government today with the Communists having the second most seats and the National Front with the third most. With two strong liberal parties some expect a coalition government to form. However this may not be the case as the Democrats and the Communists are at odds when it comes to the matter of the market. The Communists are struggling for Central Planning and the Democrats are actually struggling for the government to remain exactly how it is.




John Darc Steps Up

A man named John Darc approached us the other day and offered to send us reports from his position in the French Army as a Lieutenant in command of thirty men stationed on the Italian border. His platoon is part of an initiative within the French Army to replace all horses in cavalry divisions with  armored and motorized transports. His platoon has two motorized land transports and 16 horses. They are armed with a mix of sub-machine guns and rifles and patrol daily on the lookout for Italian spies. We of course immediately accepted his offer. Expect to hear stories of his printed later.

It crashed a lot so their may be inconsistencies between screenshots. Also the internment vote is merely for flavor.

I've downloaded, played twice, and since uninstalled this. Let me spoil the ending for you.

Germany is going to come across the Belgian border in mid-1940 with more divisions than you could possibly have, higher tech than you could possibly research, and better commanders than you can possibly get, after a year-long bombing campaign in 1939. Hope you like having a capital in Algeria.
