I've thrown for Vichy. Haven't done that for many many years!! No throws for Algeria, Morocco or Syria it seems. No territories went Free French so completely conquered.

Throws:
Madagascar 6
Asian Minors 7
Equitorial Africa 2
Pacific 7
US Action 9 = 1 Chit added

Well this doesn't look right when comparing to RAC.....

No idea what that was all about but apparently there were no throws for Algeria, Syria or Morocco. Free France controls nothing and is completely conquered. Is that even possible?

If there is a French BB not in a French port, two is subtracted from all Vichy rolls. This makes 10 and 9-10 automatic. The French then rolled less than a 9, less than a 5, and less than a 4 on the remaining three die rolls. Clearly the French were exhausted from fighting so long.

About time you got some luck in this game.

Garrisons tested in France, Yugoslavia and Indo-China but were able to quell all dissent.

USSR placed chit in offence and moved one from defence to offence.

US placed one chit in Ge/It and one in Ja. Congress gave the go-ahead to build strategic bombers. Tension with the Japanese rose (chit into the Ja tension pool after 5 rolled).

Stay at Sea

CW keeps CL from North Sea 4-box. Escorts from Faeroes 4 and 1 boxes, Biscay 4 and 1 boxes, North Atlantic 4 and 1 boxes, St Vincent 4 and 1 boxes, Cape Verde 4-box, CA from East Med 1-box. CV TF's in West Med return to Gibraltar, except for TRANS to Tripoli and CA to Alex. BB Group in East Med to Alex. Beaufighter and subs to Malta.

French ships and subs in the Med stay at sea.

Oil use

CW reorgs all for 5.65
France reorgs all for 1.45
US reorgs all for 0.4.

No breakdowns

Production

China 6 - 1 oil saved
CW 28 - Several saved oils
France 0
USA 30
USSR 27

Italy is slightly overspent on production. The closest is one pilot and either another pilot or the GARR, not both. What do the Italians want?

Sorry I just don't get it. I can see why the program never rolled for:

Morocco, Algeria and Tunisia
French West Africa
Syria
Indo-China
and
All other territories and minors

The maximum that could be rolled (with the -2) is an 8 and so achieving the 10 or 9-10 range required is impossible.

I can also see why Madagascar - range 8-10 (roll 6(4))
All Asian minors & territories - 7-10 (roll 7(5))
French Equatorial Africa - 3-10 (roll 2(0))

all failed.

But why did the roll for

All Pacific Ocean minors and territories - 2-10 (roll 7(5)) fail? The roll was within the range? Surely this is Free French?

EDIT:

There is one possible explanation - although this is just guesswork as I can't see anything in RAC that suggests this.

Could it be that as there are no Pacific Ocean minors and territories with a capital (Indo-China is dealt with separately) therefore Free France can't be set up without a capital?

I tried rolling the same numbers (except this time I threw a 10 for Madagascar). Madagascar (which has a capital) went Free French - and so did the Pacific Ocean minors.

So I tried the same again (putting Madagascar back to rolling a 6) and this time All Asian minors and territories (which, like the Pacific territories, don't have a capital) rolled a 10. Same answer. Free France is completely conquered.

Finally I allowed French Equatorial Africa to fall within Free French range and again it worked. There are five capitals to choose from and so Free France was set up and the Pacific territory of New Caledonia joined it.

I ran the original numbers again and it is weird that the dice roll for the Pacific doesn't show (which only adds to the confusion) but at least the concept makes sense. But, unless I've missed it, why can't this be explained in RAC or RAW?

You are completely right here. It's somewhat confusing, but that's the rules.

By the way: if you want to continue this game and not get into trouble, you should load the last beta test version. The alternative is to answer "no" every time you get question to revert former French controlled minors and territories to Free France (because Free France will not exist in this game, until Paris is liberated, according to the rules). In the latest version for the beta testers, this bug has been fixed.

The Germans are asked if they want to establish a Vichy Government. I say yes as it seems like the sensible thing to do.

A 9 is rolled for US Entry and a chit added to the German/Italian pool.

Here are the rolls. In addition to RAC and RAW not spelling out the capitals thing, the display further added to my confusion as the roll for the Pacific Minor didn't appear (unlike the others).....

So for the reasons explained above, there is no Free France in this alternate history. There are rumours that a French General tried to get an alternative government set up to counter the Vichy 'traitors' but he was killed in a plane crash soon after arriving in the UK....

The Nationalists make a couple of minor adjustments.

CW forces gather around the disorganised Italian unit in Ethiopia. A couple of other minor moves are made in UK and Malaya.

One attack announced in Ethiopia. Odds are 4:1. I'll pick Assault as all the possible retreat hexes are ZOC'd. The Ethopian HQ is requested to give support.

The attack achieves its objective but the Ethopians are a spent force.

The Nationalists make a couple of minor moves.

CW MAR and INF from West Med invade the resource hex NW of Cagliari in Sardinia. The attack is automatic with or without the notional. I include it as at one time there was a problem when it wasn't included and I'm not sure whether or not that has been resolved.

No ground support or shore bombardment from the Allies and I decline the Axis as with 0 combat factors, the missions would be pointless. The MAR and INF get ashore in Sardinia.

CW rebases DB-7 from Malta to Sardinia. Blenheim rebases from Bristol to 51,24 in Cornwall.

No reorgs.

Turn continues on a 5 (less than 3 needed).

Weather remains mostly fine but deteriorates in North Monsoon.

Absolutely no idea what I was smoking last night but safe to say the utter bilge I was writing can be ignored....

...anyways....

An Italian fleet puts to sea. Do the CW wish to intercept?

I�ve E-mailed you. When you tried the 11 ship TF, did the interception box come up. If not, it might have been hidden, hence getting stuck.

No it's nothing to do with forms being hidden and everything to do with yours truly being a knob. Please see question above.
