What some of us tried to do was to convince the creators to allow France to keep building infantry, a la China rules, to represent the French resistance. It wouldnt be TOTALLY realistic, of course, since there is usually nothing to resist in Madagascar or French Indo-China, but it could be a pain to Italy in North Africa. It could be stopped with concerted effort by the Axis, or ignored.
France, btw, would be limited to JUST infantry until they owned an Industrial Complex again - or so I thought the discussion was headed.
Perhaps you should house rule that?
