France Better Prepared for WW2?

There is a lot of tweaks that can be done to French forces. For example there doesnt seem to have been any sort of Observer Corps to spot LW raids and no coordination between Air Forc and Army.

The main problems were the Dyle Plan, ignoring intelligence that the Germans were coming through the Ardennes and sending the 7th Army which was the strategic reserve galloping North were they got cut off.

The Allies had spent 8 months digging in along the Franc/Belgian border and as soon as the alarm went they abandoned those lines and advanced into Belgium :confused:

I wargamed the Battle of France several times as the Allies. I never kept the Germans out of France but by abandoning the Dutch and Belgians to the Germans tender embrace I usually kept the Germans North and East of Paris and bled them white, using the highly mechanised BEF and 7th Army as mobile reserves to jab at the flanks of the Germans.

If the Germans could be bogged down how long does Stalin keep the Oil, Minerals and Grains flowing. The way to win is to keep the Germans in the field till the money runs out and the German economy goes screaming back to Hyperinflation.
