While Andy's answer covers it from a game point of view, crazy things could/did occur between France/Vichy France and the Allies after their surrender to Germany. Case in point, the British Navy destroying/attacking the French fleet at Mers-el-Kebir after their surrender to Germany.

And you know how the French are [:D]

The Vietnamese were trained and equipped by the French but, that's not quite the same thing as claiming that Vichy French fought for Japan, that's a bit of a stretch of history, no matter how much they liked the British. [:D]

Dont know if anyone reported this minor slip: Page 197: Each Attack Odds level will reduce the Fortification Level by 1 if all attacking units are using Shock Attack or Bombardment Attack (i.e. 4 to 1 odds would reduce the Fortification Level by 4).
