France is a horrible country in 1939 due to its multiple fronts and the lack of resources to deal with them. Therefore, your first step will be to pull Juan over to Dakar, then completely ignore N. Africa and Asia for the first twenty or so turns, except for the rare occasion where you think you can make a pass at a steal at Bangkok (UK and Nat. China will destroy Thailand on their own; the question is merely who gets it).
Then, as with most 1939 starts, simply spam field artillery at suitable locations (although France has the luxury of spawning rocket artillery from Paris), which will most likely be Paris and Marseilles to push into the lowlands & Germany, and Italy respectively. Utilise your superior fleet of BBs to smash open either Barcelona or Rome (although I prefer the latter), then when Franco invades, either try to keep him on the oil well, or ignore him and just blast him with your artillery if he gets in range. You don't really have the resources to deal with Spain early on.
Once you snowball off of taking Germany and Italy, it is mostly a question of spamming airstrikes to take out the rest of Europe, as well as mot.infnatry to send them over to Asia and stop Japan. Remember to send a hefty amount of troops to Japan, because it loves paratroopers and will overwhelm you in a war of attrition if you are not careful. If you want to take out Japan, yet not have to deal with micromanaging masses of troops, remember that paratroopers cannot land on mines, and that unbuilt forts will serve as a useful distraction for the AI to waste resources on, as well as providing firepower to take out enemy cities.
Once you've taken that first airbase in China, you can conquer the rest of it through hopping through airbases, and then the only thing left will be to siege Honshu itself, as well as Australia/Alaska depending on how successful the AI was.
That being said, my honest advice? Screw it and play Germany. France in 1939 is a highly unfriendly nation for beginner; Even Poland has an easier time of it, believe or not,

France is just a hard country to work with in any conquest. 1939 France barely has resources and is always one of if not the first target for Germany. Japan would easily take its colony in Asia[Vietnam of course] and, while I've found that the French last longer in Africa than anywhere else, Spain and Germany take it out later when the soviets are out of way. There isn't even a France in 1943, in 1950 France is surrounded by other NATO nations, with only its Vietnam colony near the enemy, which would be crushed still, 1960 is the same deal, just Vietnam won its independence at that point so you have no other point of contact with the WTO nations until they break through Germany, you make your way through Africa and Middle East, or you go straight through German territory into the fray. Don't even need to bring up the Alien conquest France.

Yeah that's true about Poland I've won as Poland ,Norway and even Denmark with only decent generals and a few wonders I also always send all my troops to Asia after I take out the other axis powers japan is always last plus that thing about airbases in china I always do that it is a very effective and fast way to take out japan bomb the cities and send paratroopers. Thanks for the help I will try as France if I can't I'll try Germany |

I autoplay 1939 and France was wiped out very quickly. Spain and Germany wrecked the main portion, and Italy took over Africa.I don't know if Germany ever successfully invades the U.K. But with the skills of a player, I'm sure France 1939 can be quite easy.

I found out a new method of doing fr1939:
Evacuate all troops to England or north Africa (depending on where they are ) and spam heavy tanks in Paris and sending them north . using the fleet at Dakar and extra troops smash Spanish Morocco . you thus have a strong presence in Africa and can invade Spain anytime. Meanwhile in the north keep evacing your troops but don't lose Paris !!! Retain your troops if necessary to protect Paris . keep your generals with the troops in England.from here you can attack Spain,Tripoli and Italy from N Africa or attack Germany by landing on Denmark as most of Germans will be in France , Flanders or Poland n Russia.
P.S: i knw it sounds dubious but it worked for me

Footnotes for my guide :
1) dont lose paris because from there germans can simply bomb our troops n we will be able to do nothing
2)north means to england
3)keep your gnerals meaning is to post the genera;s that you have bought to to england as you wont be able to recruit troops in england,dont mistake it for moving that artillery officer near marseille to london
4)if paris is unsafe you can put ur air general there and use strategic bombing against german generals
please give me feed back n tell me wether it is useful for you

This was surprisingly easy for me. 24 turns to win. Use the tank general in Marseille and the battleship general to attack Barcelona and afterwards Sevilla, while your generals in the north head straight for Belgium to fend off Manstein and Bock.
In Africa, use the two ships by Dakar and the MI nearby to attack Casablanca in the west, then use Juin to push Italians out of Africa. Have an artillery general on the RA next to the Maginot Line to attack Northern Italy and the german generals in the Balkans.
If you are lucky (or have an Ion cannon) you can capture Bangkok. To do this, wait for the field artillery to move, then skirt around its range until you can position your soldier next to Bangkok. This is where you would us an Ion Cannon to finish him off. If not, just start spamming infantry from Hanoi and take the place yourself. From there you can paratrooper near the action in China and hopefully procure an airport (mine was Taipei). Using that airport, take out Japan.
I used an infantry general and 2 tank generals, but after doing very little in the overall scheme they just attacked neutrals for my amusement so they don't matter. As for the artillery general, he was very useful and I reccomend having one but you don't need him by any means. It will just be a bit slower.

I have been a meme we of this forum for almost 7 months now, and I haven't posted much, but France 1939 is very doable if you get off to the right start. And I mean, THE VERY RIGHT START. I actually just tried a France 1939 conquest and I finished it, and I am infact working on a guide for the conquest. But it does actually require high level generals and high level technology, so that's maybe why many people find it difficult. The key is taking down generals in Europe and controlling the air. That's really the hidden strategy when playing as any weak nation. But it's very easy and I can explain better in the guide I'll make. And if I may ask, how do you attach photos?

And if I may ask, how do you attach photos? attaching photos: *switch to desktop version at the bottom of the screen *create thread *click on "add image to post" *click on the botton "browse files" *click on the picture you want to *if you want to add another picture click on "browse files" again and select the picture *click on "insert file(s)" *the picture(s) will be shown in your device as a link *click on br-code *switch back to previeuw *the picture(s) will be shown as pictures note: if you want to insert 10 or more pics at the same time the program will ask you how to put it in. switch to "one line" and coppy the link and paste it into your thread |

For me (mobile) I switch to desktop mode at the bottom right, reply to something or create thread, add image to post, click on documents, and add in a screenshot. That's how I do it at least.

I'm pretty sure there is a thread in the General Board that tells you this. It's called "How to add images to post"
