Strategy
To make France great (and not surrender) you'll have to first weaken Spain, since if you don't they'll probably attack you with 5-12 divisions. This can be done by driving them out of Africa, invading them from Gibraltar, invading their top areas or even taking over the country completely. After this you can freely focus on one front and probably push the Italians all the way down to Rome. By now you'll be able to take over Africa, so send lots of divisions there, while still focusing on defeating Germany. Put some paratroopers in cities such as Frankfurt am Main or Nuremburg. After this you can choose how to revive Napoleon's empire.
