@hbg-gw-enthusiast Thanks so much. That makes perfect sense

@generalhandgrenade I have not quite explained the full situation. Vichy was also defeated in Southern France. Paris fell with the 4 French militia and a few British fighters when the Germans counter attacked.
This is my dilema. Free French is now France. Vichy has gone. All French troops are in Turkey. So now Paris has been recaptured, what happens next

I am confused about Paris.
I am sure I am correct when Rome falls Italy surrenders and all Italian units are removed from the game.
The 1st time Paris falls (usually as a result from Germany) Vichy France can get formed. I understand all the formation of Vichy France and Free France.
As the game progresses Free French can get reasonably strong (especially if the win abysynia) with Lend Lease etc.
UK then liberates Paris and conquers Southern France. Free France now becomes France and all Vichy units now become France.
The next round Germany retakes Paris.
This is the point I am confused. It seems unfair to treat France the same way Italy is treated when Rome falls. Vichy France would not get reformed.
What happens to the French units which may be quite strong outside Europe?
What happens to other french Units in France?
What happens to the the French money they have in the bank?
From my take on the rules all French units should be removed from the board as they have effectively surrendered…but this does not seem fair as the Free French usually do nothing to help liberate Paris. If this is the case it seems a very risky strategy to even attempt to liberate Paris.
Thanks in advance for your replies

@trig
Just to aadd to the mix.
I have been playing where you upgrade the port in French Somaliland to a major. Then Russia and France lend lease a fighter or as heavy a unit as their IPP allow every turn. Italy can bring planes and infantry via transports. Both sides have ended up very heavily defended.
Germany has now defeated France and the Abysinnian conflict has still not been resolved.
I am unsure if UK now now lend lease to Free French in Abysinnia. Abysinnia is now a very important location

@noneshallpass
Thanks so much. I was just trying to workout for recruitment rolls. That is great

Is there a list of which country controls which colonies. It can be frustrating searching the board trying to link flags with countries. eg. when Belgium falls is Belgium controllled Congo its only other territory. Portugal is another example where it has a lot of colonies.
Thanks in advance

Can I ask a question about Turkey at War expansion for Global War 1936.
To make an influence roll you pay 2 IPP with the ability to pay another 1 IPP to increase your roll success from 3 to 4.
Does all 3 IPP go to Turkey or is it just the additional 1 IPP.
I am unsure on reading the rules as it appears Turkey can get a lot of money if players are unsuccessful if getting successful rolls

I do not undestand this USSR Victory Condition.
Score 1 Victory Objective if
the U.S.S.R. possess one of
the following (a) a Major Naval Base with a sea zone #
of 8 or greater
What does this mean?

I just wanted to say that I printed out a very large map size at 2440mm x 1118mm ( roughly 8 foot x 4 foot) on a digital printed transparency with a matt laminate and it has turned out fantastic. The quality was amazing. I searched everywhere to see if it could upscale and could not find the answers. Hopefully this will help someone who is thinking of doing the same.
I have built a custom table with magnets sunken into the table to hold the map in place. I wanted to use the table to play other games so the map had to roll up.
I also wanted to use the table for Global War 1936 and the magnets work well
