Vichy is a must in my opinion, even if you get the worse case situation and get nothing. Southern France being Vichy blocks Italy from being conquered through France. This is a good reason why you may not want to take Switzerland as the Axis.
Optional Rules Question
-
Specifically the Optional Airbase Rule.
This part:
Air base cost is 3 per unit and no longer have a movement mod of a +1.
Does this mean Airbases now cost 3-IPC per airbase?
-
All planes must take off and land in a zone that contains a friendly air base. So yes they cost 3 icp’s but don’t get the bonus move. Cheaper price is for all the air bases you will need to fly planes anywhere.
Other wise they cost 15 icp’s if you don’t use thee Optional rule.
