Vichy France - the long road to freedom

[unmerged(53922)]

Yeah, Im looking forward to seeing the soldiers of the "Magical Axe" capture Berlin

For now they arrested Duce in June 1943 at time when Germans was very deep in Russia ..... (BTW - I didn't know that puppet can DOW his master ... and at last I'm not more limited by 1K stockpile of resources only )
And they had been attacked by some alien bugs

- one of their transport not attacked by anybody has been completely annihilated on open see ?! Not true - it still exist but I lost one infantry division .

- their see fleet could be rebased to Cracow in northern Poland near the mountains (now occupied by Germans of course) :wacko:

- and finally their goverment was exchanged by Nazi German
I must change this in save file .... But no, here is everything ok. And finally I know where the problem is. When I enter into diplomacy screen I have displayed German info. But clicking on Vichy flag solves the problem.

Soon Part 2 - Vichy '41 starting situation

Part 2 - Vichy '41 starting situation

Vichy France is a puppet of Germany. It's really colonial power with a lot of useless land in Africa and even has one province and two islands in South America ! Of course these rich colonies will be abandoned at once by French ....

The best thing we have granted military access through Germany . The worse thing - Vichy is limited to 1 K resources stockpile and their only trading partner is their powerfull master. Vichy don't have oil ... and Germans the same - becouse they just has started Barbarossa .... So our oil units must go without it

our cores which we must retake as soon as possible ...​

June 22 1941 - Vichy info

IC: .......... 32/23
manpower: 66 + 0,13/day
landforces: 9 infantry '39 and 3 '18
............... 2 motorized infantry '40 (our elite units )
............... 5 militia '36
............... 1 HQ '39 with Field Marshal Petain as Chief of Our Army

airforce: ... 2 TACs I generation + 1 TAC II generation
............... 2 naval bombers III generation ( despite of Vichy haven't researched any
............... naval bombers tech yet )
............... 3 early fighters

fleet: ...... 1 early carrier Bearn (pride of French navy) + 8 capital IV generation + 31 others
...............

So only navy is quite good and could rule over Axis Powers (unbeatable CV).
The rest is very poor. So the first move was some army reorganization

we really don't need these guys ....​

and start researching '41 infantry ....

Soon Part 3 - We need some living space ...

*Sits down, Lits the cigar and fills the glass with some irish W*
Now boy'o lets see how you do that!

 

[unmerged(55467)]

How will you manage to fight Germany when you're their puppet?

 

[VILenin]

I don't think Vichy does start as Germany's puppet but maybe I'm wrong.

Don't they?

Simon-1979 *Sits down, Lits the cigar and fills the glass with some irish W* Now boy'o lets see how you do that!

Imagine Vichy sole 30 divisions attacking Moscow in 1943 .... soon after Berlin and Paris fall .....

How will you manage to fight Germany when you're their puppet?

Vichy is German's puppet but not allied and after cancel of military access to them, Vichy could DOW Axis.

 

[unmerged(48465)]

Hm. Never seen a Vichy AAR before. Good luck to you, sir. I'll be watching!

 

[TheCrimsonMajor]

cool ideas, but can you pull it off?

 

[VILenin]

One more question, did you have to mod your cores to cover all of France?
