Panzer General -- France '40, Major Victory?
Steve Jones
Bloody Daffodils!!!
So just how many turns must you complete the scenario in to achieve a
major. I know it is not 25 as stated in the Strategy guide. I also know
from somewhat bitter experience that it is not 21, because I just did it
and received a minor victory with no chance for Sealion.
I was stalling a bit to capture extra cities and airfields and
over-strength stukas, engineers and pioneers. First I stalled until turn
24 so as to beat the turn 25 limit. It gave me a nice force to invade
England, but did not get the chance.
Then when 21 did not achieve the major, well all I can say is look out
Greeks and Slavs!
Please respond by E-mail as this NG is too big for my server to keep up
with responses.

I don't remember the exact number, but I can still remember that in
france 40 the limit between major and minor is difficult. If you play
the game for the first time, you won't get the Sealion 40 campain (and
that's better for you, belive me :-) Play the Blacanian and Crete or
play the North Africa scenario and you'll get a chance invanding
England later (with better chances if you are a rookie)
If you are a good experienced player, you can have a major victory in
france (by having major victories in all the others previous
scenarios, preserving your good polish units, buying only what's
nessary).
I mean you can win without cheat, I myself didn't know anything about
cheats, and it's quite easy to win france40 with major
(the main key is run like hell. Their forces, aren't a threat for you
and you must push forward in other objectives without waiting to
capture or clear an area. For example, by the time you take Paris,
other units must have hit the next objective. Don't bother taking care
of the units to the right upper corner of the map. Leave them alone
and consetrate in Paris. When they will come after you kill them
quickly)
You can win all the objectives so quickly that you can spare some
turns in overstrenghing afterwards (but if you had major vicotries in
other scenarios, your planes won't need overstreth. They must already
be overstrenthed!)

14 turns is all you have for achieving a Major Victory in France '40. No
time to mess with none objective cities out of the direct path of victory.
