You have a point here. This would be a great decision event. Declare war on France or lose NM / MPPs / diplo values all around the world / etc. etc.

Everything is thrown at Paris - the entire Luftwaffe strength, most of the remaining panzers and all the infantry I could find - at the end of which 1st Army occupies the French capital.
The Italians, at Enzo Ferrari's insistence, occupy Monaco. They then stop. The Scuderia are airlifted to the principality to conduct testing of its latest Grand Prix cars.

While in Paris, you're letting Picasso keep painting, right?

Following! Loved your allied AAR and was hoping you'd do an Axis one, as I like to play the underdogs
I'd bet on the Allies - but who'd bet on you? [:D]ORIGINAL: warspite1

I've got to be honest, if the Axis start out as underdogs - which I think it is clear they do - then I've just made them even undererdogs what with losing half the Kriegsmarine, a late starting Yellow and then an incompetent execution of same.....[;)]

Well that is really annoying. Am I in charge of the Axis or what? Or what obviously because Italy has just declared war.... thanks [:@]
Anyway I am asked if I want to convert the Roma (currently building) to an aircraft carrier. I say no. 200MPP - even with the generous instalment plan offered - is just too much.

I agree, especially given how late this enters the war, and you get a BB anyway for no MPP. I usually go ahead with the German Graff Zeppelin CV, though.

I would like to have built the Graf Zeppelin (a nice bit of Chrome) but chose not to because:
- From what I've seen the Germans struggle with too low a unit count (they need all the MPP they can get to build land units)
- As per real life, by the time the carrier comes along, most of the fleet are gone. In this game I have lost too much of the navy as it is so she would be probably sailing around the Baltic on her own.
- Maybe if a) I had handled the navy better and/or b) I get more of an idea what the German position is later in the game I would have chosen a different option.
