@panzerbaguette Vichy would not be able to perform escort duty for the Italian convoy line, for the reasons you stated. It’s a neutral minor power controlled by Germany, and it’s only fighting ability is against Free France!
Vichy France vs Free France, Which is Light Blue?
-
HBG has Free France as Light Blue, but as far as gameplay, I think it might make more sense to have the Vichy as Light Blue and the Free French as Dark Blue because after Paris is liberated, you will not have to change the Free French to Dark Blue.
Thoughts?

@hbg-gw-enthusiast Doing the same thing with my game. Recently bought the light blue parts for Vichy French.
-
@hbg-gw-enthusiast I agree. Also, the HBG Vichy army is in light blue.

@trig said in Vichy France vs Free France, Which is Light Blue?:
@hbg-gw-enthusiast I agree. Also, the HBG Vichy army is in light blue.
Thank you everyone!

They used to have Vichy be Blue and Free France be Light Blue until I pointed out why that’s a logistical nightmare from a player view.
The reason they had it like that was because it tells the player that Free France is NOT the Republic of France for gameplay

Historical: Vichy France continue to keep wearing French uniforms so to avoid confusion. The Allies re-equip Free France with US uniforms.

@caesar-seriona This was extremely interesting to me, Caesar Seriona! Completely makes sense.

@hbg-gw-enthusiast Yeah. 1936 is a long game to play, it takes a lot of time to roll for each ship and each colony by the rules. Vichy being light blue just helps with pacing.
