The Allies command 3 French Army Groups including the BEF, the Belgian Army and the Dutch Army which totals 123+ Divisions and all manner of less than Division size attachments.  The Germans command 3 Army Groups and the OKH Reserve totaling 123+ Divisions and many less than Division size attachments.

While 2 players per side could handle these forces, it would become a cumbersome task to maneuver so many units.  I would rather play a 3 v 3 format in order to make the scenario more playable and enjoyable.

I believe that Mike Prucha's first recommendation was for a 2 v 2 Team Play format:

Suggestions for Team Play

The size of campaign game lends itself well to team play. There are several ways in which commands could be divvied up between players. In a four-player game, it could perhaps make the most sense divide the commands geographically:

Player 1: German Heeresgruppe B
Player 2: German Heeresgruppe A and Heeresgruppe C
Player 3: French GA 1, 7e armée, Belgian and Dutch armies
Player 4: French GA 2 & GA 3.

Maybe interested Team Players should look for a "less unit dense" France '40 campaign scenario to play? Idea2

Team games can be a lot of fun, but you need to strike a balance between how many units and complexity are manageable. Also, know your players and how committed they are to seeing it to conclusion.    

I am currently on Turn #93 (170 Turns) of a Smolensk '41 Campaign scenario... or else I might throw my hat into the ring here!  Smile

I hope you guys can sort out the details and I wish you all the best!  Smile
