Whats wrong with this picture?

[SkvyWvr]

Can anyone guess whats wrong with this map? Hint it's after the fall of France.

:hmm: Center of France is still symbolized as Neutral?

<ackbar>it's a trap!</ackbar>

Yeah, Iv'e notice this anomaly, particularly Paris which is still showing being neutral throughout the war. Also Arnheim (Arnhem) is still showing being in enemy hands even though the Germans had it occupied until September 1944, and Paris until August 1944.

That's in greywolves eh?

Question: Is it possible to dock at added towns, for example......Calais, or is it just there to be shown?

[SteamWake]

Too many marks left over on the charts ?

Its because France is technically neutral then

June 16, 1940 - Marshal Pétain becomes French Prime Minister
June 22, 1940 - France signs an armistice with the Nazis
June 28, 1940 - Britain recognizes Gen. Charles de Gaulle as the Free French leader
July 5, 1940 - French Vichy government breaks off relations with Britain

The Vichy puppet government was installed and the French Army, prisoner, made to work at labour camps in Germany. Vichy was allowed to keep 100,000 men (the same number imposed on Germany in 1918) for law and order purposes

True, but what about Arnheim?

Adolf Hitler ordered Rommel to strike Dunkirk(through Belgium)(after toking over Antwerp)... than heading south...

After taking over Dunkirk, Rommel heading to Paris, but rest of Frence was still Frence.(it took 6 montch to capture whole French)....

here a picture of French in 1940



German panzer troops reach
the French coast, June 10, 1940

Hitler using Para-troopers allot, the same thing happens in Holland too, Dropping Para-troopers in The Heage, Amsterdam, Rotterdam(why?, Amsterdam/Rotterdam are major ports), The Heage to took over the Goverment.
I called a sudden strike... very surprice for the Dutch that dont even have good tanks, only a couple of WWI tanks, and 5 mordern planes, some of them reached England...

Good exsample is renting "Soldaat van Oranje" or "Soldier Of Orange"....

If i was a general, i did the same thing, Coastel/major habours first, the rest come later....

But i am a captain of a Uboot lmao :p

[mountainmanUK]

If you sail your Uboat into Toulouse, or Lyon.......you can expect to lose some renown if you sink any of the Neutral merchants you will find there!!!
:rotfl: :rotfl: :rotfl: :rotfl: :rotfl:

One thing I also noticed, in the beginning of the war, in South Africa, Cape Town will be shown as Hostile, but P.E and Durban are shown as Neutral. Now, being South African and all, AFAIK its all one country :/
