France question

[Siris101]

France starts with 24 ipcs, but I see 31 total ipcs in French colored TTs.

Which ones are not controlled by France from the start?

What happened if the French invade Spanish Morocco?

[Imperious Leader]

The areas that have a separate round flag are allies of France, but only after they are activated.  Same with UK.

[Siris101]

So if a troop moves into the French colony, does that TT mobilize troops?

[ghr2]

I think that only Belgium and Portugal start the game not French controlled

[Flashman]

No, colonies already start with the only troops they get.

France can only acquire the additional 7 IPCs by having uncontested control of those territories.

Thank you Wove, that is exactly the answer I needed

And also, the rulebook is now available to read on the main page.
