Vichy

@Cornwallis I should also say I have play tested mine only twice. So that’s why I say it may or may not be balanced. I mainly focused on historical accuracy for my first version.

@FranceNeedsMorePower

It’s not Axis and Allies but uses similar mechanics.

Edit
Here’s a list of all triplea maps. Might be something in there. The above Global War isn’t available.

@tmartin Yes!

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.

@djabwana

Thank you for confirming! I was pretty sure the intent was not to allow capture of territories on combat move 1.

You might want to remove the AI reference under the Bolsheviks and make a overall note that the AI does not follow the game rules so it is not recommended.

Also, it appears that trenches max out at 9 in a territory. Is that intentional?

(EDIT)

It seems Russian trenches are limited to 8, while French are 9. Not sure what other countries limits may be. If this is intentional shouldn’t that be listed somewhere?

@LordPatrick thank you,
Also how do you do sieges and what benefits do forts give to defenders

I find nuking counterattack forces is best

General observation, but it seems like hitting the backline with nukes while hitting the frontline with conventional forces is the way to gradually wear the enemy down.
