Hi all, my first draft map for an AA50 1940 + France Setup (v0.5) is ready to rock. G40 Lite, anybody?

This idea was born and first discused two years ago in my “[AA50/Anniversary] Modular Map Overlays” thread. Becuase this is a whole new kettle of fish, however, I am splitting this realease off into it’s own thread for further discussion, new rules, setup charts (oof), and of course playtesting/refinement.

Backstory:
My indomitable son-- lover of the color blue and Axis and Allies— and therefore of France, bless his mistaken 8yo heart— has worked his way up to playing Anniversary with me. He grieves for the neglected G40 French soldiers sitting in their box. And so, I’ve atempted to tackle the addition of France and the creation of a plausible Middle-weight 1940 setup that includes the French Empire and his precious blue troops.

Project Objectives:
Placate my child and get some blue units and TTs on the map. K.I.S.S. Add choices/fun, but maintain middle-weight status. Maintain loose tether to historical reality… meaning I need more or less 1940 borders.
To pull this off on an AA50 map, I need two things:
France-related map & rules updates Non-France 1940-related map & rules updates (aligned neutrals + dispossing various powers of their 1941-42 territorial gains)
Rules additions:

This is a Middle-weight map, so we need some Very Simple Rules™ for the inexorable fall of Paris and the subsequent creation of Free France
– I like GW36’s dieroll mechanic wherein you roll for TT + contents and individual ships to see what happens: Vichy, Free French, or Scuttle (for ships).
– For our middle-weight case here, “Vichy France” simply becomes German
– For Free French, the UK can command ala the US command of China.

In my first attempt to satisfy the above criteria, I present: v0.5!!

G40 Lite v0.5 contains:

The French Empire, c. ~spring 1940:
France proper split into Northern (capital) and Southern (becomes Vichy) France Six discrete French African colonies and protectorates
– Morocco
– Algeria
– French West, Central, and Equatorial Africa (which gets RC and becomes capital of Free France)
– Madagascar Syria (maybe relevant with pro-axis Iraq next door?) French Indochina (Frenchified; remains ahistorically merged with Thailand; no game-reason to split them) French Guiana (maybe relevant now that we have a VC-posessing pro-allied Brazil?) New Caledonia in the South Pacific …mostly for flavor/possible IPC balance
Lots of other changes to create viable 1940 setup:
Addition of Albania Addition of British Guinana (Suriname) Splitting Iraq (2, pro-Axis) off from Trans-Jordan (0, UK) IPC-ifying of many “True” (or game-functionally true) Neutrals:
– Sweden
– Turkey
– Saudi Arabia
– Spain
– Argentina Chile
– Afganistan
– South American amalgamations
– Angola
– Mozambique Addition of “Impassible” to a few important regions:
– Sahara
– Himalaya
– Mongolia (functionally)
– Switzerland (functionally) De-possessifying of various “Aligned” Neutrals:
– Finland (pro-axis)
– Romania Bulgaria (pro-axis)
– Iraq (pro-axis)
– Brazil (pro-allies; drops to 2 IPC, a Neutral VC? Whaaat?)
– Yugoslavia (pro-allies) (no more “Balkans”)
– Greece (pro-allies)
– Persia (pro-allies)
– Eire (pro-allies)
And finally, a totally unrelated change that actually belons in this thread:
In China, split off “Jehol” (1, Japan-occupied, China Roundel) from Manchuria (3)
…and probably many others I’ve forgotten.
