vichy joining allies shortly after france surrender

[klschult]

39 Storm Over Europe scenario.

Yes, it does seem like occupied France surrendered to the Allies, All territory in France (not Vichy) became allied, except German occupied spaces. Not like the liberation of France, but more like the surrender of France, to the Allies?

But:
Paris is German occupied.
French can''t build
Or spend Diplomacy points
But France (Denmark) does get production points for French cities not occupied by the Germans.

And it happened again if I reloaded right before the German turn.
But didn't happen again if I reloaded back two turns.

So, yes, very confusing.

But seems very rare.

I went back to the July 12th turn,
did the same thing,
invading Portugal and taking Bayonne,
Hit the button for the Axis turn,
and got the same result. - all hexes in non-vichy France became allied controlled except those occupied by the Germans. Do you want the file?

Could it have anything to do with Germany occupying Italy on the same turn?

[klschult]

Italy started the 12 July turn at 21% National Morale
Italy ended it at exactly 20%,
Triggering the German occupation, (right?)
And France switched on opening the 26 July turn.

The first time it happened, France wasn't triggered until the 9 August turn I THINK.
I don't remember when Italy was occupied on the first run through.

So, maybe it is related to the occupation of Italy?
Strange, I know, but I've seen weirder programming bugs in my life.

Do you want me to go back and try to NOT trigger the German occupation of Italy?

Isn't bug hunting fun?

Its better than an Agatha Christie mystery novel.

Well, on this side of the experience anyway.
