I therefore propose that UK units (?excluding the FFR xxx) get a combat +1 in rain turns, and the units of Mediterranean countries get a -1 because they probably never/hardly ever train in the rain.

Same with Finnish if not most of their units.
Both sides should start with one unit.

French Armor should be division sized.
Remove one French large corps replace with cavalry.

Excessive heat should have some effect...in Africa and USSR...
Perhaps -1 to all attacks on those turns and +2 movement in all hexes.

Okay but does it help with combat? I don't remember.

These suggestions seem to be a little too sensible for the intention of this thread

I agree with this one. The 1st corps of cavalry of General Prioux was engaged in Belgium in 1940.
It would be a nice touch to see it on the battlefield.

Russians get +1 movement in the winter because they have sleds.
Fins get +2 movement in the winter because they use reindeer.

For WP2? Also, have a clear distinction of merchants transporting oil.
