italians

Playing as Germany, I was able to send Italian calvary racing across the backside of paris in one lucky long run. You can see the italian flags in the screen shot showing the path they took. As Germany I did not let Vichy come about and I pushed into Spain..

Question is...Italy still owns those spaces it raced across in France. I thought it would revert / convert to Germany. As you can see one of the cities Lyons even has factories in it. How do I get the Germans to own these hexes and not the Italians?

RAW:

Control of a hex changes when:
• an enemy land unit (except for partisans ~ see 13.1, and supply
units ~ see 22.4.10) enters it (the major power entering with the
most factors if more than one); or
• an island, territory, minor country or major power is conquered
(see 13.7.1) or liberated (see 13.7.5); or
• France is declared Vichy (see 17.); or
• it is a communist Chinese-controlled city entered by a nationalist
Chinese land unit or vice versa; or
• during the liberation step you return control to the original owner
(see 13.7.5, reversion).

And the conquest rules:

Now change the control of the conquered home country. Every one of
its hexes occupied by a land or aircraft unit (most combat factors if
more than one), or in the uncontested (by any other major power) ZoC
of a land unit, becomes controlled by that unit’s controlling major
power; unless already controlled by another major power on the same
side.

Conclusion: Mr. Mussolini doesn't give any hexes to Mr. Hitler...

But you can lend resources to Italy in return for getting BPs back so you can effectively get as much production out of Lyons as you like.

Might loose BP to rounding-foo though..
