France's ass wouldn't be as easy to kick as you guys think.... I think

The french do have a VERY strong army on paper.

Though, one issue may be that the french have a history of inflating things on paper.

On paper the UK and France are REAL close.

France has more troops, the UK has nearly double aircraft and the ships are about even.

However, the UK have a slight tech advatnage and i'd say a very extensive training avantage.   Top UK troops are as good as any out there.

It'd be even early, but air superiority and better training would allow the english to inflict more casualties and pull out a win 7-8 times out of 10 i'd guess... air superiority is EVERYTHING when it comes to modern warfare... or it's thought to be anyway.

 

That's why the US developed those super fighters.  One of those could take out a half a dozen modern aircrafts in a fight.
