Why we think so

These three form a cohesive low-difficulty Netherlands/Western Europe progression—start by uniting the Low Countries as the Netherlands, then work a Belgium-industrial challenge for lots of factories, and finally tackle a France-focused army/naval playstyle with the Tour de France objective to build on the same region and logistics strategies.
