Tahiti is not a colony, it is part of France. There are even elections for the European Parlament just like in continental France. The best thing about it is that Miss Tahiti can thus participate in the Miss France contest [;)]

I bet in every game of WITP AE the Triomphant does more than in real life: (form wikipedia)
Pacific[edit]
Triomphant, under Philippe Auboyneau, was transferred to the Pacific theater in the summer of 1941, to become the flagship of the Free French Pacific squadron. She arrived at St. John's on 6 August, crossed the Panama canal on 16, and departed Balboa on 17 August. In the process, she was recognised and reported by a Japanese observer, whose transmission was intercepted by Magic.[13] Triomphant reached San Diego on 25. She departed on 5 September bound for Honolulu, which she reached on 15 September, and Papeete on 23.[14]
In December 1941, she escorted the troopship SS Ormiston from Sydney to Nouméa [15]
In late February 1942, as a Japanese invasion of Nauru and Ocean Island was feared, Triomphant departed the New Hebrides to evacuate the part of their population that would be at risk under Japanese invasion. She arrived on 23 February on Nauru, taking aboard 61 Europeans, 391 Chinese and 49 military personnel[16] Then she headed to Ocean Island, 300 km away and took onboard 823 Chinese and 232 European.[17] She subsequently undertook refit in Sydney, which took most of 1942.[14]
On 8 February 1943, at 2:30 am, the BHP Shipping iron ore carrier SS Iron Knight was hit by a torpedo fired by I-21. She went to the bottom, bow first, in only two minutes, claiming 36 lives. Triomphant picked up the 14 survivors on a raft 10 hours later. [18] She attempted to locate I-21 for a day, before returning to Sydney the next day.[2]
On 26 November 1943, Triomphant departed Fremantle to escort a convoy comprising the American oil tanker SS Cedar Mills and the Dutch cargo ship Java. The convoy was struck by a cyclone, nearly sinking Triomphant; with a 45° list, she was taken in tow by the Gallant Ship[19] Cedar Mills.[9] On 10 December, HMS Frobisher took the tow, and the tugboat HMRT Prudent took over on 15, arriving at Diego Suarez on 19.[20]
She was subsequently sent for refit to the United States, where she remained until March 1945.[21] From May, she served with the Eastern Fleet in the Indian Ocean.[22]
Late career[edit]
In October 1945, along with battleship Richelieu, Triomphant escorted troopships bound for French Indochina.
On 6 March 1946, under captain Jubelin, she took part in landing operations near Haiphong. She sustained 20mm fire from Chinese troops, killing 8 sailors and wounding 20. Triomphant retaliated by firing her 138 mm guns, which ignited ammunition stores and entailed the surrender of the 28,000 strong Chinese forces.[23][24]
I dunno, causing the surrender of 28000 troops with just a destroyer's guns? If every Fletcher could do that, all while twirling their mustaches, the war would be over in 1943 every time!
[:D]
This game's version is still burning. It's a 86 float and 62 engine damage now and I'm sending in the Eastern Fleet. it'll be 3-5 days before I can fly more there, but I'll have more NS from a second base force sooner. The port is now at level 2.25 and climbing about 7-8 percentage points a day.

RE: ::Felix, Ferdinand and FRUPAC:: obvert (A) v Greyjoy (J)
Well that leaves me confused because they use a "Colonial Franc" for money and the locals say they are a colony. They did say they have a French Passport though and can travel there without the usual customs stuff.ORIGINAL: LargeSlowTarget

Well, he's probably staying with the KB in hiding philosophy, but it's somewhere ready to hit me I'm sure. I'd guess between the DEI and Pacific to counter either possibility.
There are a lot of BBs here. Under 450 fighters! But a lot of those are set to escort the bombers, so the CAP is not as heavy as you'd think. I see eventual opportunities, but I'd need another closer base like Torokina. My closest is Buin, and it's just a level 4 now.

[font="Microsoft Sans Serif"]SUBS: [/font] A few misses on big transport TFs, including a large one near Sarmi that could be the 12th division "to Biak."
[font="Microsoft Sans Serif"]INDIA: [/font] Supply is now flowing better to Ledo, Jorhat and Dimapur as they've increased their airfield sizes. Chittagong is healthily growing with steady shipments moving into the port.
[font="Microsoft Sans Serif"]CENT PAC: [/font] Roi-Namur falls! This looked pretty dire on landing with a lot of troops coming in disabled, but the bombardments and consistent air strikes must have worn the defenders to the point they had no fighting ability left. This concludes the major push in the Cent Pac area. Now much of what is here can be shifted to the SWPac/SoPac areas to help the push there.
Ill now send a bombardment into Wake to see what specific defenses are up there, and prepare for a landing in the next month. Eniweitok may also be invaded soon, but I have to watch out there as it's so close to Truk and Ponape.
[font="Microsoft Sans Serif"]SO PAC: [/font] Turning off the night attacks for now. Nick is using zeros on night watch, and while they're not so effective, we've gotten what we need and there's no need to push it now.
[font="Microsoft Sans Serif"]CHINA: [/font] Patung is taken, but luckily none of the Chinese are completely destroyed. This means fewer zombie troops to clog Chungking. I'll try to move the remainders to NW China.

[font="Trebuchet MS"]Still can't put the fire out. [/font]
[font="Microsoft Sans Serif"]SUBS: [/font] A few misses on big transport TFs, including a large one near Sarmi that could be the 12th division "to Biak."
[font="Microsoft Sans Serif"]INDIA: [/font] Supply is now flowing better to Ledo, Jorhat and Dimapur as they've increased their airfield sizes. Chittagong is healthily growing with steady shipments moving into the port.
[font="Microsoft Sans Serif"]CENT PAC: [/font] Roi-Namur falls! This looked pretty dire on landing with a lot of troops coming in disabled, but the bombardments and consistent air strikes must have worn the defenders to the point they had no fighting ability left. This concludes the major push in the Cent Pac area. Now much of what is here can be shifted to the SWPac/SoPac areas to help the push there.
Ill now send a bombardment into Wake to see what specific defenses are up there, and prepare for a landing in the next month. Eniweitok may also be invaded soon, but I have to watch out there as it's so close to Truk and Ponape.
[font="Microsoft Sans Serif"]SO PAC: [/font] Turning off the night attacks for now. Nick is using zeros on night watch, and while they're not so effective, we've gotten what we need and there's no need to push it now.
[font="Microsoft Sans Serif"]CHINA: [/font] Patung is taken, but luckily none of the Chinese are completely destroyed. This means fewer zombie troops to clog Chungking. I'll try to move the remainders to NW China.
[font="Microsoft Sans Serif"]OZ:[/font] No reaction to the troops moving to Carnarvon. Yet.

That fire has to be a bug. There is no way it should still be burning after the port was repaired and raised to level 2, and naval support was brought in. You should refer it to Michael M.

Well that leaves me confused because they use a "Colonial Franc" for money and the locals say they are a colony. They did say they have a French Passport though and can travel there without the usual customs stuff.ORIGINAL: LargeSlowTarget
Tahiti is not a colony, it is part of France. There are even elections for the European Parlament just like in continental France. The best thing about it is that Miss Tahiti can thus participate in the Miss France contest [;)]
I think the French term is "overseas collective" which would be the equivalent of a US territory such as American Samoa. The difference from a colony in the old school of thought is that every Tahitian is a full French Citizen. But yes, we are talking about a former colony so one can make the comparison. Having been to Tahiti, I can fully understand why the French are reluctant to vacate. It is an amazingly lovely place.

I did read it and the relevant part at this moment seems to be accumulated float damage inhibiting the fire teams. It's close to sinking for sure, and I'm hoping I'll get more stuff there in time. I've been a bit too cavalier with my faith in Allied damage control in this case. Playing Japan I would have done a lot more right away to save an Akizuki for instance.
