Help with New Vichy event

[ThuderLizard2]

Can someone describe the details about this new Vichy event? It popped up a little while after France capitulated and gave three choices (not exact wording):

* Continue to fight on as free france
* Colloborate
* Join UK

I choose fight on and lost almost all of the divisions I evacuated and most of my fleet. Looks like Vichy took part of my fleet and maybe the divisions I lost? I can't find a description anywhere of this new event.

Does join UK give you control of UK?

Joining UK forms Franco-British Union and your game ends because your country or what was left of it and its colonies gets merged with Britain.

There's no option to take over UK? One think I liked about Darkest Hour was you could assume control of another country in your faction. I often took control of Italy as Germany.

OK - so what is the exact formula for what Vichy gets versus what Free France gets? And why is Vichy France in Axis instead of neutral?

When your game ends, you can observe, and, take over another nation, such as the UK.

While I've yet to test it extensively, I believe this would work even in ironman, and even allow for achievements to be met as your new nation.
