-> France conquers Belgium with 21 losses!
As you can see, when the area is fortified, France loses 620 men at round 9 and returns to home!
When unfortified, France conquers Belgium with 30 losses!
To conquer Belgium in 1 turn when fortified, France should attack twice in a turn (2 army moves of 2500 for example). France will only lose 22 men because round 9 will not be reached.
Even if round 9 is reached for the first army move (with big losses), chances are the second one will conquer the area.
