Situation
France fell with Axis occupation of all of French North Africa
Only Syria and part of France were Vichy

Spring 1942
US/UK invade Morocco and begin retaking north Africa

May 1942
Axis declares war on USSR and invades USSR
Simultaneously, "Vichy Morocco/Algeria/Tunisia remain Vichy" message, even though they have never been part of Vichy.
Vichy garrisons appear in North Africa
All the US/UK invasion forces (6-7 corps) in Morocco are eliminated due to "nowhere to relocate to"
Also looks like the axis units have been relocated or eliminated

Yes, the Axis forces in French N Africa are all eliminated too except one German division was displaced from Tunisia to Libya.

Alvaro, also note this same game has spanned many patches. We started this same 1939 scenario on the original release of Warplan and have been updating the software as patches come out. We are currently on v1.00.04.

Thanks for letting me know. Those Vichy scripts havent changed and that exact scenario hasn't happened so you found the bug sadly.

I modified the scripts and some event coding to fix the problem for new games. Vichy is tough to code.

Vichy is tough to code.



I can only imagine! Thanks Alvaro.
