Sounds about right.
France

funniest line in the whole darn movie… :lol:

But honestly…. About France. I imagine it would be closer to the AAE map with Vichy in the south(unlike map above). Western coast and Normandy being one territory, Vichy as one, Dunkirk/Calais as one, Paris/Sedan being another. Four altogether.
Also, who would control FREE FRANCE once Paris falls? England?

" I would rather have a German army in front of me than a French army behind me" - General Patton

From what I have read that is misattributed to Patton, but whoever said is was very wise.

When the French are defeated, will there be a Vichy France changing its allegience to the Axis?
-
yes i hope so.

Me too. What does everybody else want?

yah it should become a pro-axis neutral

That would be nice. The game needs more diplomatic simulation anyway, now that game starts in 1940. It could be cool in multiplayer if soviets or Japan decide switch teams or go more free for all :-D

Is France gonna be a full nation with all the units?

France gonna be a full nation with all the units?
Per LH
France gets its national tokens… it gets its colonies that are all over Africa in AAE and a couple of places in the AAP game (French Indo-China and New Hebrides) It has its own dedicated colored units. If captured by the initial German blitzkrieg its surviving units are controlled by one of the allied players – probably the British player. If France is liberated it recovers its liberated factories and goes back to war against the axis as any major power would. -
As johnny said France will have all the units as anyone else. I also thought Larry shot down the Vichy thing. Said it complicates things to much. Maybe he’ll change his mind and make it an option in the global game or later in an official LH erata.

the infantry peice will be unquie, but all its other units will proably be blue British pieces
-
How are the Americans going to play Operation Torch with no Vichy French to kill
-
They land in Morocco and fight Vichy. It should have 1 infantry
-
Not if they are controlled by the Allied player. The Americans will land and they will all have a big party.

OMG. Thats sucks. Oh well another house rule.

House rule: French Surrender
If the French capital is captured by an axis power, and no other allied units are in the 3 territories that make up France, the government capitulates. The axis player recieves all of France’s IPC reserves as normal, and in additon, roll a die and consult the chart below. Compare your roll to the chart and apply that result, then all results numericly lower than it. ( a roll of 3 yeilds West africa + Morocco + Corsica, to the axis)
1 - Corsica becomes axis controled
2 - French Morocco becomes axis controled
3 - French West africa becomes axis controled,
4 - French Central africa becomes axis controled
5 - Morocco becomes axis controled
6 - Syria becomes axis controledUnits on territores that become axis controled are replaced with axis units, all others remain “Free French”
-
I’ve got to say, that’s a pretty good rule. Germany could get really lucky with a 6 or be just, well, unlucky. Now what if Paris is captured, but there are still other units in France. Do you have to get rid of them, and then role a die, or are you saying to take out all France territories before going for Paris? Also, would Vichy units count, being as it would (as a house rule?) become a pro-axis neutral?

I know! Larry should have france become and pro axis neutral after its capital is taken. Why is he adding neutrals but not inclduing this very KISS Vichy France rule. it does not make any sence!
