The Flotte d'Balte is sailing off the coasts of the former Estonia, and Latvia to make sure your Red Army honors the rights of the citizens. Your high handed ways are not gaining you commendations in the world's press.

French valor and prowess has allowed the Third Republic to retore freedom to gallant Denmark, and her navy will serve to remind you of your neutrality.

[Chocolino]

How did the external French VP in Copenhagen affect the Vichy options in the game? Will they still be presented? Of course France is now even less eager to accept.

[cpdeyoung]

Vichy was proposed, and declined. I expect Gary to go the air route. His Luftwaffe can reduce the city and a paratroop unit can take it. It will gain us time however, and will be a pain for him. It will not stop him from taking Gibraltar, or from campaingning in North Africa, and when his Luftwaffe is released fron the Franco-Danish campaign they may be used against Malta, or even a Sea Lion. Watch the news for clues about the German force mix as his time for the Soviets approached.
