While the post you linked is certainly interesting, do note this is the 1970s now, 30 years after WW2. Also they already divested themselves officially of the interior, keeping only the more French coastal area. So it's hard to say what their opinion would exactly be in this particular circumstance.

You actually going into France gets the sunshine out with no other notes, it'll be a quest over but the total population of Europe might exceed twenty million in the next century! But do not worry you have over five thousand nuclear shots ready to catch as many French and British nuclear assets on the ground as possible, so the retaliatory barages targeted towards primary areas of operations are likely to be under five thousand warheads.

Hmm, darn

I guess the question now is how far we can push in a shooting war while keeping it a shooting war

Edit: any chance we could get the French communists to try something?

No, this is exactly what I wanted, though I wish Libya had more stuff/was able to go hard while we retain some deniability. But for me a shooting war to smash France was always the ideal scenario that I thought was too unlikely to hope for

This is already as far as we can go without nukes. If we step one inch over the border the French are going strategic, 100% guarantee. Their psycho suicide pact is their only defense because yes obviously we would eat them alive in a conventional war, so they're not going to let a conventional war happen. We're going to get incredibly fucked by this and have to make seriously embarrassing concessions if we want the game to last more than 1 more turn.
 
I suppose if we can't enter France proper we can always invade their colonies, or just blockade them since their navy got smashed, though it would require finagling with Spain and Belgium

I consider this a total success so far, and shall continue the line of always escalate all the time
 
We didn't smash their navy, we won a single shootout with a single blockade flotilla. If we start doing shit like blockading them they're also going nuclear, what do you not get about their nuclear doctrine being a suicide pact? They can't win a conventional war and we both know it, which is why they will not allow one to happen.
 
The vote going the way it has didn't really surprise me, pride cometh before the fall, and let it not be said that forum posters do not have an excess of it!

Hopefully this is a wake-up call for some people.

What is going to happen is Belik and Nikolaev probably lose their jobs, Klim and Obukhov will be fighting for their life trying to blame the former by pleading ignorance of geopolitics, Semyonov is vindicated and has the hawks opposing him severely weakened, and no invasions or blockades anytime soon...

On one had lol and lmao at mashing the escalation button over something trivial (myself included)

On the other hand, at the end of the day we got dice'd; if we'd rolled just a bit higher and a nat-1 didn't happen things would've been ok

But we didn't! So here we go…

Again unlikely to be a shooting war especially if America starts backing them.

Also amazing that you would rather the world be potentially doomed to a nuclear apocalypse then back down. Communism fails too if fallout happens after all.
 
There's a crisis turn which we presumably got because things have not yet gone strategic and there are offramps. Seems like two poor rolls were enough to get things to a critical point but not mass destruction yet.

Don't know why we would be the only ones fucked the French should have to make concessions as well.
