When you say no additional cores you still have the rest of France as cores, right.

Cool, I've never seen a Vichy France AAR before. Since you're going to be evicting the Germans from Northern France I assume you'll be going up against the Axis. Do you have any plans for joining the Allies or will you forge your own alliance?

Nice, I hope you do good.

I didn't know the Nazis wanted to resettle eastern France. I knew they wanted to do that in Poland, but. . .
Vichy is German puppet, but can DOW them ..... and what better, it has military access so I can see all German troops.

Part 1 - Régime de Vichy (the beginning)

1940june14pm1.jpg

Paris in Nazis hands ....

Vichy France was established after France surrendered to Germany in June 18, 1940. It began when the National Assembly gave full power to Marshal Philippe Pétain. The Free French Forces were French fighters, who decided to continue fighting against Axis forces. They was commanded by General Charles De Gaulle - Head of Free French Government.

14988zql7.jpg
.......
200pxfww2degaulle2hn6.jpg

Marshal Philippe Pétain......................... General De Gaulle

In the autumn of 1940 many French colonies in Africa joined the Free French side. French Indochina remained under Vichy control (mostly symbolic, as Japan supervised).

The Royal Navy attacked the Vichy Navy at Mers El Kébir and Dakar on 3 July 1940 in order to neutralize the threat of taking it by Germans or Italians. A lot of ships was sinked and many French sailors was died. This caused bitterness and division in France and discouraged many soldiers from joining the Free French forces. Also, the attempt to persuade Vichy forces in Dakar to join De Gaulle failed ...

And here the alternate story begins ...... Everyone thought that France is doomed as German puppet and Marshal Pétain is traitor. But it was not true .... Absolutely not ! The future will show that he want to unite France and rebuild Empire.

Will the history call them saviour or looser ? :D

I modified Vichy events 985 and 986 (Darlan's choice options) triggered by event 983 and 984 (Operation Torch - Negotiations with Darlan ver A and B) in \db\events\vichy_new.txt
to have a choice: secede some provinces in Africa to US, or not - what means war Vichy with Allies .....

Both US AI events 983 and 984 had 99% chance of negotiation with Admiral Darlan and 1% DOW Vichy without negotiations.
983 triggered 985 Vichy event with only action_a = (scede provinces) and
984 triggered 986 Vichy event with only action_a = (war with US).

I added in both Vichy events two options so now I had a choice. Vichy France as eq. Com China are rather not popular, so they events hadn't any choices to human ....

So now it looks:

beztytuu12crvg5.jpg

US AI have 99% of negotiations and 1% war with Vichy (not changed at all)

beztytuucrlk9.jpg

Now I can choose to agree with US demands ....

beztytuu2crkg9.jpg

or not ...

beztytuucr1vo1.jpg

and not have only one option as in DD 1.2 :mad: (2 unmodified events fire only with option A or B)

action_b = { ( I copied this option from event 986 )

}

event id = 986 ( corrected by me - and the same as 985 )
#Triggered by USA Operation Torch - Negotiations with Darlan ver B

Looks very interesting so far! It could prove difficult to fight the germans without allied support unless the Soviet Union smashes them. Which leaves you in a hardly better position. Good Luck anyway!

I have two options.

1. First long and hard - wait years of building and waiting for natural Germany end ... or they victory over Soviets ?!

2. or play gamey ... but I'm small, defeated France - so why not ?

What do you think about it ?

I would say you're hardly in a position to fight an all-out war against the Axis right now. With Italy in Africa and the East, Germany to the North and Allied assistance only a possibilty, you'd be quickly crushed. Some buildup will be needed.

I will abandon Africa, East German troops fights with Soviets, Italy is not a treat at all. They are busy with British right now.

Oh no. Proud French will not be cooperate with anybody. They lost Paris yourself and they want to retake it by their own hands ;) Viva la free France !
