To conveniently duck the question, in a way that actually answers it.
The game is intended to faithfully recreate the behaviour of the
board/computer game in this regard with vichy.
I.E If the British are there in real force the French will go down all
the way to their last dregs and "Bordeaux" in the cellar.
with no vichy.
Of course that poses just as big a dilemma for the British, for if the
French are going to get into that position and Bordeaux falls, they will
have had to bet their shirts and the the house silverware to be able to
hold the line when faced with that...
Why the answer in that way?
Because,
so far, no beta tester has triggered that exact combination..thus what
the game should do, and what the game actually does, are possibly not
necessarily one and the same. But inthat event, the testers will flag
that up in short order, a hot debate will ensue, and the appropriate
corrective will be applied.
The reason for the testing issue?
Whilst other elements are sorted out, to do with British IRs and MRs, it
has not been possible to fill France with so much British material and
manpower, that such a siutation might arise...
