I believe that it was a mistake not to groundstrike the stack adjacent to Paris with the Luftwaffe.
Consider this: if the stack adjacent to Paris gets disorganised, no reinforcements can reach the city anymore. Also, that stack in itself can be attacked out of three hexes (not adjacent to Paris). So if that ground strike is good enough, Germany could have blitzed that stack in the open and get rid of any possible reinforcements for Paris, too.
One should always consider the possibility of failure and act accordingly in MWIF. Yes, I know: +15 is a good attack on Paris and chances that things will go wrong are not high. But the possibility of failure is there and one should try to minimize the consequences of valiant French defenders, who decide to fight to the last bullet...
Now, Germany is again faced with a fully stacked Paris and has to start over again.
Certainly a mistake in hindsight. At the time I was wanting to keep some FR forces alive so that they could convert to Vichy. Maybe silly, but that was my line of thought. I prioritized the Rouen (wanted to disorganize the plane) and Paris GS (that worked). Also, I was not expecting to roll a 4 after rolling a 5 in the previous attack on Paris. With the fractional, the chance of missing taking Paris was only 4.5% (less than 1 in 20).
I have been kicking my self for not adding another fighter-bomber to the attack. 2 more points of GS would have made the fractional, which would have given me Paris. There are so many what-ifs.
