I completely agree with op.

In my game, although on M/M, Britain, although at war with everyone in Europe, have 3 full stacks sunning it up in my own florida for about 25 years now (i have military acess with them).

Again, France at war with evereyone in Europe, has 3 massive full stacks sunning it up in martinique just walking around the island, its like they are stuck and trying to get off but no boat is coming to pick them up. They have been there for over 30 years.

I have never once seen Britain invade mainland France even though its really weakly defended and has been at war with them for about 20 years.

I could probably try and take france now and those guys in martinique wouldn't even attempt to get off the sunbeds.
