I plan to use Pro-Axis units (Grey Germans from previous releases) for Vichy.

Any plans for an SPG?

The Somua SAu 40 would suffice, thought it may look a bit identical to the SAU 35.

Here's my 2 cents on Vichy France Color: it should be a Darker Blue than the OOB color. Germany Black, Italy Brown, It shows France "coming to the darkside"

Hmm,

A Darker Blue color to represent "Free French" troops set on revenge. An interesting idea.

That's one of the reasons why I use as Vichy pieces the dark blue standard infantry sculpts from The War Game: World War II (http://www.boardgamegeek.com/image/268592/the-war-game-world-war-ii?size=large).  The additional attraction is that the German-style uniform design establishes an extra connection between Vichy France and Germany.

I prefer light blue for Vichy and OOB for pre- defeat French.

For those that do... why do you distinguish between Free French and "pre-defeat" French? Couldn't you use the same color for both of these?

i agree why would you need a new color for free french when you should just keep them the default french color, or at least use the default color for one of them. my group we dont even need to have any difference in color since Vichy doesn't move we just use the Vichy token on territories to represent Vichy units

I think dark blue would be sufficient.

I compelety agree. I don't see a need nor do I want a different color for pre-defeat france, free france, and vichy france. Two colors will do fine (waves hand in a "these are not the drods your looking for" kind of way)

you know the more i think about it. the more i like the idea of a dark purpleish/ dark blue color for vichy france. I worry about the oob blue being to close to the vichy blue. I see france and vichy france as Allied France (oob colors) and Axis France (called Vichy for most conversation but it's basically just that France in the Axis powers) and I want the colors far enough apart not to cause confussion. So a dark purple sounds really good. No one else is purple or close to it.
