Players of the SPI/AH game France ‘40 will know that the Maginot Line meant absolutely nothing.

France would have been better off continuing to build the Char B (a fine tank for the time) and beefing up their air force.

France already had more, and better tanks than Germany. However, Germany concentrated them. The French tanks were committed individually, and died individually

Wow!
You played that AH game too?

The Allies were hopeless in that game, even if the Germans didn’t bother with the sichelschnitt and just went at it wide-front. The Allied line was guaranteed to crack.

The German player couldn’t lose, barring complete incompetence.
