Fall of France
I have a question regarding the invasion of France, The Netherlands and Belgium.

I have a lot of troubles when invading this countries with my panzergruppen. They got stuck because of the supplies problems when they broke the line. The train network is not connected with Germany, so, is possible to imitate the estrategy used historically?

I´m going to try again directing my panzers to Calais instead of Paris. Any ideas?

Came here looking for this. Why are Belgian units so strong? Also, how am i suppose to fight with 4k+ fighter aircraft coverng the invasion of france? I have been able to manuver and capture Paris and a few other cities but supplies, air cover, and the british hamper my advances any further.

@Tristan Haven't played Germany for a while but are the Belgian units strong or just numerous? Historically, Belgium had a large but under-equipped army.

@mk11 maybe your right, numerous, but in combination with the french and British i can never conquer them. Invasion of france is damn near impossible

I had the same problem. Have you just started the invasion after the declaration of war? They have very strong positions behind rivers and in forests and I get stuck in a first world war like fight.

Agree Belgium forts seem over powered for sure. Breaking through the forest and taking Paris I can do, but going farther is not because of supply. Also along the coast to Dunkirk is possible. Sometimes I can link up but rare. Without Belgium capitulating supply to crush France is near impossible without a miracle move by the Italians. France seems to have to fall mega fast or never at all.

As for allied fighter strength I agree it is impossible to have equal numbers to allies in start of invasion of France. England commits way too many of its fights in Belgium/France support.

Yeah my enjoyment of this mod ended at invasion of the lowlands. I think i will stick to the other hardcore mod.
Great mod this, just needs more balancing IMHO

you may be over stacking provinces? in vanilla you get penalties when you have too many divs in a few provs but BICE turns it up quite a bit. attack with a few armored divs and punch through
