Free France-Vichy France

[PanosB3]

How exactly will colonies of France, like Madagascar,Algeria,French Guinea etc will act once Vichy France is formed?
Will they have a mechanic like a % on which of the 2 to join or its pre-set which they will select?

Also what will happen to troops stationed at each colony? Will they be ceded to the country that will own the territory?

Thanks in advance.

As it was in the previous games, with an event chain and an RNG to determine how much of the colonies join Free France.

As for troops, they will be moved back to the deployment pool for France if the territory is suddenly controlled by Free France.

That's how it worked in HOI3? To be honest the Vichy France event chains haven't seemed to work properly in any of the HOI games released so far.

Historically, of course, Vichy troops ended up fighting the British in Syria, Lebanon, and Madagascar, whilst they also fought the Thais in Cambodia and (briefly) an Anglo-American invasion force in North-West Africa. None of this has been properly simulated in HOI games thus far.

I can't speak for HOI3, but that's how it worked in Darkest Hour at least.

Operation Torch has never worked properly in the HOI games, and neither has the pacific theater... It seems that overseas invasions in general were broken. In fact, I would quite often see Japan invading the Middle East through Oman or Yemen...
