Vichy minor deployment

Post by Jim D Burns »

AI Germany attacked Vichy in my game and I lent some resources to Syria and North Africa to make use of their manpower pools. Syria's first division just finished and as you can see I am unable to deploy it. This worries me greatly as I built an entire corp for North Africa, hope I don't lose it too.

Edit: To help debug this I should note none of the Vichy units that start in the two countries have unit names for the units, not sure if this is related but thought I'd mention it.

By what I understood one can only deploy in Production Centers. Damascus has not a brown number alas.

Ah of course, I was over optimistic when I saw the unit names in the production lists, so didn't think. Guess I'll have to invade mainland Vichy at some point to get them to appear.

Would be nice if the game prevented you from building a unit if no production center was controlled at the time you tried to build it. Perhaps a feature for another quality of life improvement?

I don't think it will work either for Mainland Vichy.
That's 'Vichy Syrya', and I suspect it has to go that way for scripting ease (Treating Syrya, N.Afrika and Vichy mainland as 3 separate entities).
