Germany declares Vichy. There's a French BB in Ajaccio, Corsica. Should Germany get the -2 DRM when determining the status (i.e., Vichy or Free) of the French colonies/admin groups?

If I am not wrong, in MWIF, which goes after WIF CE, Corsica is part of Metropolitan Vichy, so you dont get a minus 2

You are wrong. See the post just above yours. This has been answered in the FAQ of the board game.

Precisely I thought we agreed. The answer tells us where you get a -2

quote:

A: Only original French home country ports
count. This does not include force pools,
scrap pile, repair pool, construction pool,
and production spiral, nor does it include
the port in the territory of Corsica.

So Corsica doesnt count for that penalty.

Maybe you are referring to Corsica not being part of Metropolitan Vichy, but again I am right:

quote:

17. Vichy France

(...)
17.1 Creation

(...)
If you install a Vichy government, Metropolitan France itself is divided into 2 countries - Metropolitan Vichy France (including Corsica if still French controlled) and Occupied France.

This is one of a very few FAQ replies from Harry that actually does not align with what the WiF-RaW-7-aug-04 rules say.

IMO he changed this rule rather than clarified it. At least that ruling was carried forward into the Collectors Edition, by clearly defining Corsica as a territory and dispensing with the term "Metropolitan France".

Unfortunately there are a number of other FAQ rulings that did align with WiF-RaW-7-aug-04, but got reversed in CE anyway.
