I'm making Indochina a Free French territory. They basically told Japan to <expletive deleted> off, so the Japs have to take care of that too.

Yeah, all the good French stuff is gonna be in French. I sent you some stuff. Maybe a good starting place is to snag this from a library somewhere:

Hesse d'Alzon, Claude. Guerre 1939-1945: La Presence Militaire Francaise en Indochine (1940-1945). [Vincennes, France]: Publications du Service Historique de l'Armee de Terre, 1985.

Historical Service does a pretty good job, and the tables ain't too hard to puzzle out

Ciao.

I've got an army OOB finished, and am looking to move on to the air service (such as it is) and the naval stuff (which is more interesting).

Online translators seem to do pretty well with the major European languages, so the fact the sites are in French shouldn't be too much of a hurdle to clear. I'd be interested in seeing the sites as well.

What about coastal defenses. Do you have already a source?

Instead, Indochina becomes another aspect of the overall Jap plan. I haven't decided on the Jap strategy yet, but it'll probably involve attacks from both Chinese and Thai territory.

Fair enough! Did you do the image yourself? It's excellent.

But then how the harbours changed nationality? Maybe you don't want to bother moving Japanese out from Camrah Bay eh ?

Yep they had some quirky ships. Maybe more of a colonial cruiser but it has speed for fleet service.

It is a disgrace that the online plans from French Navy were closed due to hacking(at least they say it was because of it). I could only get 2 or 3 ships.
