How bout a waiter with a white flag over the arm and a tray containing a bottle of wine and 2 glasses… like he serves “surrender”

if they used this, then everyone would want to play as France…

“He’s been shot dead, you idiot!”-The Phantom  :lol:

funniest line in the whole darn movie…  :lol:

But honestly….  About France.  I imagine it would be closer to the AAE map with Vichy in the south(unlike map above).  Western coast and Normandy being one territory, Vichy as one, Dunkirk/Calais as one, Paris/Sedan being another.  Four altogether.

Also, who would control FREE FRANCE once Paris falls? England?

" I would rather have a German army in front of me than a French army behind me" - General Patton

From what I have read that is misattributed to Patton, but whoever said is was very wise.

When the French are defeated, will there be a Vichy France changing its allegience to the Axis?

yes i hope so.

Me too. What does everybody else want?

yah it should become a pro-axis neutral

That would be nice. The game needs more diplomatic simulation anyway, now that game starts in 1940. It could be cool in multiplayer if soviets or Japan decide switch teams or go more free for all  :-D

Is France gonna be a full nation with all the units?

France gonna be a full nation with all the units?

Per LH
France gets its national tokens… it gets its colonies that are all over Africa in AAE and a couple of places in the AAP game (French Indo-China and New Hebrides) It has its own dedicated colored units. If captured by the initial German blitzkrieg its surviving units are controlled by one of the allied players – probably the British player. If France is liberated it recovers its liberated factories and goes back to war against the axis as any major power would.

As johnny said France will have all the units as anyone else. I also thought Larry shot down the Vichy thing. Said it complicates things to much. Maybe he’ll change his mind and make it an option in the global game or later in an official LH erata.

@michaelthegreat:

the infantry peice will be unquie, but all its other units will proably be blue British pieces

How are the Americans going to play Operation Torch with no Vichy French to kill

They land in Morocco and fight Vichy. It should have 1 infantry

Not if they are controlled by the Allied player. The Americans will land and they will all have a big party.
