Though the initial placement of a CBV does not count against Gearing Limits, the rules are a bit silent on whether they count _for_ gearing limits on the following turn. I could see that being argued either way. I would say they should count for such limits, as the new troops may not hinder normal army recruiting schedules, but they do have to be armed from industrial production. But that’s, like, my opinion, dudes.
Be that as it may, as we say, placing those 3 units for the French on the first turn is a bit of a help to the French, particularly when they build the MECH on the first turn. Which is a very smart build however normally it has to be balanced with its impact on infantry class gearing. Which is why I usually build it on turn 2, as infantry gearing is very important for the French. So it would be interesting to see if the program would allow building 4 infantry class units on turn 2 after placing the 3 CBVs on turn 1.
Those 3 CBV units aren’t really intended to be available to an unconquered France in 1939, in my opinion. Though I can see how a strict literal reading of the rules language could be argued that they are 1939 French units. The newer edition of the game explicitly resolves this by stamping all French CBV units with “FF” on the counters, and altering the 1939 French force pools some with MIL additions and making an INF unit a Morocco unit.
