There is no garrison or guns in Santo Domingo.
Region is french in the beginning of the scenario and can be easy taken by english army and fleet.
I understnd that France Rules The Wawes is not supposoed to make france to stron but still if the onw and conauerd that region they should at least have a garrison there and i guyes some forters guns as well as transporting them would logistical nightmare
The other thing is that even though french fleet is stronger and there are additional leaders there is not enough leaders to run french fleet. I would recomnd adding two more admirals.
The last thing is that even though france is stronger in the see there is no real incitive for the player to change his policy in to more colonial marite one.
I guess that taking france rules the wawes scenario should mean that france has premium goals in securing overseas colonies like canada , india, perheps sicily, algiers.
And reducing importance of places like cetral europe...
That wpuld push the game in a very interistng alternative history...
