Honestly, the less countries with the BurgSys, the better. It's kind of an edgy concept. Not every country needs a BurgSys path.
Yeah. The French SS are Ultranats, anyhow.Honestly, the less countries with the BurgSys, the better. It's kind of an edgy concept. Not every country needs a BurgSys path.
In TWR, the Fascist path for Free France involve them setting up the state of Lazarie, a Rhodesia-styled 'White African ethno-state' that would renounce their claim as the rightful government of French, as well as abandon most their their colonial holdings in order to relocate all the French Exiles to a small strip of land on the coast, where they can create a slim white majority population.In TWR, Free France could go Fascist (Albeit pushing for an Apartheid State).
They are IIRC amongst the hardest countries around.Also, with Free France being in a much, much worst position in TNO compared to their TWR counterpart, part of me wonder if when they finally get content, they would just end up being a doomed player trap.
I meant that in the sense of Free France in TNO being outright impossible, instead of just 'really hard'.They are IIRC amongst the hardest countries around.
Maybe it would have made sense, but I think the devs wanted to play on the myth that Speer built around himself historically of having little to do with what the regime was doing while in actuality he was, well, insincere.TNO should have switched Goerings and Speers roles. Goering as the insincere reformer, while Speer is a puppet of militarists.
I would personally say that Goering and Goebbels should reverse roles with Goering dying from poor health while Goebbels is the mouthpiece of the militarists.TNO should have switched Goerings and Speers roles. Goering as the insincere reformer, while Speer is a puppet of militarists.

This is my general idea.Honestly Geobbels would probably be more interesting as Schorner's puppet than Goring just writing wise. Goring and Schorner are basically the same type of person; they're both rather cynical and practical. With Geobbels and Schorner, though, you can have foils; the fanatical true believer being manipulated by this cynical, irreverent general interested in military supremacy above all else. You could also have Geobbels slowly build to the realization that he's just Schorner's puppet, as opposed to Goring who knows he is from the word go. If Remer takes power you could even have a heel realization from Geobbels, sort of like Heydrich- as nuclear war is inevitable Geobbels realizes that this is where his hateful rhetoric has brought the Aryan race; unlike Heydrich, however, he'll be helpless to do anything but watch the march to nuclear war. So yeah, I think there's a lot more pathos to Geobbels in Goring's role, more pathos to the genius propagandist being reduced to a figurehead for Schorner. Plus the dynamic between a fanatical ideologue and a cynical militarist pulling the strings is more interesting than that between a cynical politician and an equally cynical militarist pulling the strings. Plus I feel like the moment when Geobbels realizes that he's just a puppet of Schorner and that none of his speeches can get him out of this would be incredibly satisfying.
It would be ironic to see Free France fall since someone like Harrington or LBJ is elect and adopts a anti colonialist attitude and intentionally sabotates the free french reconquestPersonally I dont think Free France would be a trap path, but it would be very hard and in most cases they relinquish ties to the homeland in favor of creating a “new” society in Africa, while returning to the homeland requires a couple of cobditions that rarely happen.
Hell, even the number of trap/doomed paths is less than what was commonly thought of to happen in TNO, with Tabby, Huttig, Goering and maybe Vagner being the really big ones
Free France comes off to me as a state that couldn’t possibly survive in the long run. It’s South Africa but without the economy and supplies.It would be ironic to see Free France fall since someone like Harrington or LBJ is elect and adopts a anti colonialist attitude and intentionally sabotates the free french reconquest
I would really like to see this. I love plot line where “good guys” (in this case OFN and anti nazi country) are not monolithic and sometime their action sabotage one another.It would be ironic to see Free France fall since someone like Harrington or LBJ is elect and adopts a anti colonialist attitude and intentionally sabotates the free french reconquest
Well, it can only survives if it reclaims the main land, and even after they do that the rest will probably collapse (apart from Algeria).Free France comes off to me as a state that couldn’t possibly survive in the long run. It’s South Africa but without the economy and supplies.
As far as I can see, the Free French tree will probably be comparable to Long Yun on a different timescale. A mad rush through West Africa after Hitler kicks the bucket on a shoestring budget, followed by challenging the Spanish and Italian proxies for Algeria, followed by the landings in France, and finally the final boss fight, Burgundy.Well, it can only survives if it reclaims the main land, and even after they do that the rest will probably collapse (apart from Algeria).
