What exactly is required for the Vichy event to fire? I was playing an MP game with a few friends last night, we were on the phone together and its fun to hear people moaning about bad decisions.

Back to the point. I was Germany and used my ally Italy as a springboard into France, thinking oh well because the Vichy event would give the land back to me anyway. My friend, who was Italy, took Vichy, and a lot of South France, but I still took the lions share. After the last bastion of French/allied resistance was defeated the event never fired.

Could this be because, while I, Germany, owned Paris, my friend, Italy, owned Vichy, is the reason it didn't fire. This was his first game and he had a "ROUGH" start. He lost the battle for the med fast, along with Ethiopia because he could no longer supply them. France Dow'd me in 36 after I annexed Austria. The only reason was this was his first game and I didn't want him to get too bored, so I hurried up the war a bit:)

Well, if you look at the event you can see that:

- It can only occur once
- It doesn't occur if Germany is at war with USSR
- Germany must control Paris
- France must have lost 25% of their owned VP
- There is a 25% random factor


So two things come to mind, were you at war with USSR and how for how long did you wait for the event to fire?
