French Surrender

France has indeed surrendered, and Vichy has been established. I have the opportunity to amend the Vichy Collaboration Policy, and opt to receive 20 MPP per turn from Axis leaning Vichy. Unless political events sway Vichy France towards being Allied leaning in the future then I should maintain the income. On the flip side the 10 MPP would have been received regardless of Vichy France's political leanings if I had went that route.

Odds and Ends

Franco has swung toward the Axis on the fall of France. USA Lend Lease to the UK has begun.

Allied turn

I rolled the dice that the UK would not recognize Vichy France and lost. Given that I accepted a version of the Vichy Collaboration Policy that would only receive MPP from Axis leaning Vichy I am initially receiving nothing. I will have to invest a diplomatic chit to swing her to the Axis, from her current neutral standing, if I want to receive the income. I think this decision is on my radar for a tune up as well.

Spoils Of War

Quite turn as German forces begin to March Eastwards towards USSR. The MPP received from defeating France are very welcomed. German invests a diplomacy chit into Vichy France, researches Advanced Subs as well as Command & Control, Purchases a Tactical Bomber, an Engineer, a Tank Group, 3 Garrisons, and a Maritime Bomber.

North Africa

The Italians continue to hold hold strong East of Tobruk. Some very slight adjustments were made in 2.2 to put early pressure on Italy.

Turn End

I can't quite remember where my MPP's were spent this turn [:D] it was a while ago I saved.

I upgraded the Naval Base at St. Nazaire this turn, I have had some U-boats waiting in Que to be launched at this base.

The Italians have invested in Human Torpedoes for use in the Mediterranean.

Things are just starting to heat up, should be really interesting to see how the balkan campaign will play out. How are you going to deal with Turkey? They did sign a defensive treaty with the USSR right? so that means you can't invade them, unless you could. I've never seen an invasion of Turkey yet. I know you're heavily trying to bring Spain into the war, as you should it gives you the chance to seal off the Mediterranean. Could a possible Axis Sweden be in your interest? Can't wait for the Afrika Korps to arrive to really make north Africa interesting. Good work!

Unfortuntaley updating 1.1 Beta version made th game no longer compatible. I'm still making tweaks, you will be more then welcome to try the next update, maybe even a PBEM match.
