I’m playing an opponent who is preventing Vichy from occurring by having the UK attack Italy’s destroyer and transport in SZ96 from SZ98 with a destroyer, cruiser, tactical from aircraft carrier in SZ98 and a fighter from Malta. Italy’s destroyer is sunk (and transport). Then in the Non-Combat phase, UK loads the transport in SZ98 and lands UK troops in Southern France. Since France is still an ally at this point, this is legal and effectively prevents Vichy mode, since Germany will now have to take Southern France on its next turn. There isn’t any way to prevent this as far as I can tell.

This is very cool! Going to try this out this weekend. Any chance you can do an Europe theatre also?

@corpo24 Hey you Bum!!!👅

@ultramarineblue1 Very ingenious, I’ll be testing out your setup someday- would adding the UK African units be detrimental to your house rules?

Easy now. He’s probably screwing off and at another baseball game !
-
@nolimit I didn’t include the UK African units because they are presumably busy fighting the Germans (and historically, did not get sent to the Pacific Theater!)
-
@ultramarineblue1 Oh, but we did keep the two infantry in Syria/Iraq to give the Indian transport something to do as an option for the UK! Gives more flexibility to UK!

@corpo24 Europe is a little more tricky, since it has become standard that Japan and Germany have to work together to defeat the USSR. Removing the right Pacific section of the three game board panels would only deprive the USSR player of 3 IPCs (a small sacrifice for the ability to focus all of your energy against the Germans).
We will need to playtest the European theater some more–the goal would be to be as faithful to the original in-the-box rules of Anniversary Edition while making the game evenly balanced!

Hey cubbie fan 🐻! Down and front! 🤪 -

I got tickets for this weekend! Giants and Marlins lol 😛 -
@ultramarineblue1
I completely understand. So I had my play test with your setup and Japan dominated the pacific. Allies still need help. Japan has the navy and air force dominance and America making in the twenties ain’t going to cut it. Just one play test though. Will try again soon -

@corpo24 Hey Giant fan ⚾, Down (As in Short 🦐) and Back in the Standings… Waaay Back!!!🤡

@corpo24 Had a feeling that might be the case, which is why I previously asked about the UK starting with the African units!!!

@nolimit
💯! Allies need help! Send in C reinforcements from San Francisco! Lol 😂 -
@gen-manstein
Same! Talk soon 🎲 👍 -
@nolimit
Lmao! 🤪🎲 -
Hey, this looks very interesting, BUT I think the Allies stand little chance since the UK cannot put any units on the table in time. They start first, granted that, but having to build an IC first will just spell disaster on India. Japan has 5 transports, 10 units in total, and using all their fighters, India should fall turn 2 or 3.
But I will gladly try this one out and maybe I will be proven wrong!
