France and the 2EW
This is probably a complaint/point of frustration that has been expressed before, but I feel like it kinda sucks to play as France whenever it comes to the 2nd European war.
While my experience is mostly limited to the Eurointern, I can’t help but notice that in terms of preparation for future conflict with Russia, France gets screwed over by the fact that there isn’t some mechanism for the player to accelerate or delay the start of the second European war. In fact, in my latest run, Germany had started the war with Russia before I could even finish my focus tree (and seemingly before Russia could finish theirs which is not so bad).
I know too that the French AI can at times be uncooperative with German strategic goals (which has pissed me off) but that’s really nothing compared to the disparity of control over the 2EW that Germany has over France.
Idk if this is just me bugging or if there isn’t a better way to remedy this mechanically.
