Furthermore Vichy France gets the same penalty if attacked.

Correct! I guess the only question was remembering Vichy France. The initiative is yours.

[Cybvep]

Isn't it a -27 penalty now?

[Peter Stauffenberg]

You're right. It's only Vichy France with -30. Russia has -27.

[Schnurri]

Note - Syria also experiences a -30.

[zechi]

Note - Syria also experiences a -30.

Of course, as Syria belongs to Vichy France.

[Schnurri]

Isn't Syria a separate nation garrisoned by it's own troops after Fall of France or declining armistice?

[amcdonel]

From the GS 2.1 Manual - which is from the GENERAL.TXT configuration file.

Syria is listed separately.

Syria was not an independent nation in WW2, it was a colony controlled by Vichy French.

It is only a seperate nation because of the game mechanics. If Vichy Syria would be considered the same nation as the rest of Vichy France, then the DOW of Vichy Syria would lead to an activation of all Vichy colonies and continental France. However, this did not happen in the real war. The British invaded the Levante (Syria and Lebanon), but the Vichy regime did only try to defend Syria/Lebanon but did not go to war with the rest of the French colonies.

So Syria/Lebanon is a seperate nation according to the game mechanics, but is still considered to be part of Vichy France.

Will you make the next question Zechi?

[zechi]

As my answer was not completely correct, I'm not sure if I got the initiative, but here we go:

What are the possible advantages of not capturing Danzig on turn 1 of Fall Weiß with the Germans?

[richardsd]

no scorched earth damage to Port and City

[zechi]

That is one advantage, but there are more.

[richardsd]

That is one advantage, but there are more.

partisans as well after that I have no idea

Correct, a German partisan may spawn in Danzig (which is a German city controlled by Poland at the start of the game) if you get really lucky. Such a a free unit is a nice bonus for the start, but it will only happen very rarely.

The initiative is yours.

[richardsd]

nice easy question

How do you tell the tech level of opposing units?

[rkr1958]

nice easy question

How do you tell the tech level of opposing units?

Hit the upgrade button and mouse over an enemy unit. This will tell you the current tech level; but not the max if the unit was upgradeable for example.

correct!

[rkr1958]

Is there a way in GS to tell if an enemy city shrouded by the fog of war is occupied without moving or attacking with a unit? If so, how?

[Schnurri]

No? You could strat bomb it. I'm sure that isn't the right answer but I give up.
