Oh I am wondering if I am doomed in this game already.
Certainly anything can happen with the dice, but the odds are looking a bit long.

scramble 110, 111?
Gotta eat, look at the map and then I’ll have an answer for you - maybe in a half hour?
sounds good!
So you have to get rid of the French units in Normandy to prevent the French from moving into South France? The destroyer and cruiser would be destroyed?
What of the infantry, artillery in South France? They’re frozen? Are they pro-Axis?
Scramble 3 fighters to 110
No scrambling to 111
Did I need to download any Triple A files for this setup, or is it automatic by using the map file you uploaded at G1?
The “Vichy France” event occurs at the beginning of France’s turn, if all the conditions are met. The conditions are: (1) Normandy is Axis controlled; (2) Southern France is French controlled; (3) there are no non-French Allied units in Southern France.
The reason I’m attacking Normandy is so that it is Axis controlled at the start of France’s turn (one of the conditions that needs to be met). You could liberate it with UK, but then Italy would have a chance to take it back to ensure that the conditions are met by France’s first turn.
If the conditions are met, then all French territories and their units turn pro-axis neutral at the start of France’s turn. As stated in Game Notes, the territories and units can be taken just like any other pro-axis neutral. Southern France is the one exception. If that unit is occupied by the Axis, all remaining Vichy French units on the board (that have not already been taken by axis) are disbanded. This includes the infantry and artillery in Southern France itself.
The fleet in sz 93 also turns pro-axis neutral at the start of France’s turn if the conditions are met. The fleet cannot be captured. It simply sits there and defends the seazone if attacked by allied forces. Axis ships can move into the same sz with the Vichy fleet. They simply defend it together. If Axis occupies southern france, the fleet (like the rest of the Vichy units) is disbanded.
There are no files that need to be downloaded to play the mod. Its just a saved-game file with xml changed to include the NOs and what not
There is, however, an optional download you can do that will enhance the experience a bit: The file adds the objectives to your objectives panel, makes Vichy French territory appear in a distinct color (without the download, Vichy territory appears in the ‘true neutral’ color, which is unsightly, but doesn’t really hinder game play), and makes the marines appear more distinct from regular infantry (without the download, the marines appear as infantry with tiny arm badges on them. Marines are used infrequently, so its not really a big issue). Most people play it without the separate download, but if you’d like it, let me know.

Yes, I’ll take it please
France wild enough for you? I gotta be happy anyway, even if I did miss the parting shot and had a lousy round 2 defense…
111 also scary but you escape with all air…. :-P
At least you got 106, but man this round was heart attack city
A whiff in Normandy! Man, you might want to re-think your attack Normandy round 1 strat :wink: Sure coulda used those units in Paris
French whiff, and you whiff AGAIN!? Agh, the dice tonight!
French comply with another whiff - no harm, no foul, jeez :x
I guess my Yugoslavia curse is over - 3 big hits….
Stalin would really be licking his chops now but you bought a lot of infantry and artillery…
I can’t find what I thought I read - if I were to land a UK unit on Morocco, then I would keep the Frenchman, right?
So I can stop Vichy France rules from kicking in by flying a UK aircraft to South France??
