Something fun to do with France in this scenario, is use the editor to make them allied with the axis, not the allies. You can help out Italy in North Africa, and also defend your own African territories. And also hold off the UK while Germany focuses on Russia. Another thing is to make France an Axis power, and make Italy an allied power.
Interesting proposal, I would do the carrier build and land both planes+move the Navy to Gibraltar as well! However I'm comfortable with France as is but I have a house rule where China goes first, that Nation really needs the most help of all the ALLIES and without bidding either (which I always hated bids)!!!
I’m currently playing 1942 Online by Beamdog. It’s mostly great on iPad, but the iPhone version is LITERALLY unplayable due to bugs. I’d really like to play a more in depth version like this one. Is there any chance this works on a version of macOS natively? If not, what are the system requirements for Windows? Is there a way to donate?
