Are there any new additions to the Vichy or Free French OBs? I don't want to bother punching/rounding/finding a new place for all of this stuff for stuff's sake.

The Vichy French should be more-or-less identical to the French 1/2" OB, and the Free French to the British 1/2" OB. Maybe some small differences, but there are not new counters for either (compared to the original French/British).

OK, cool. I can continue to use the previous OBs.

...with "flak" on the side of counters? Oh, perish the thought! Punch and clip, man, punch and clip!

New leaders and heroes, surely!
We finally have French-coloured FTs (although they're British ...).

no No NO! I'm going to punch and clip the normal french, but I'm just fine using the normal french for Vichy, and the British for the Free French. I just don't have room for them in my kit, and if it ain't broke, don't fix it.

I'll most likely ebay my Opal Blitz counter sheet, free french and vichy french counters, not needed and a waste of money and space.

This is literally the only reason this module exists.
Unless of course you want to play the CG, in which case you might well need the trucks, not the Vichy and Free French so much as they make no appearance there-in.

I have Trucks from CH, I have trucks from BV3E, BV2E, BV1E. I honestly do not think I'll be lacking in trucks or Armor. So to recoup the amount of money I overpaid for CDG2E, I'll just ebay off the unnecessary bits and bobs. As an aside; I plan to give the Dinent stuff a try, looking forward to it after I played Konigsberg, another super fun module.
Soooo much to play so little time lol.

I think that should be "Non!" here...
I'll (eventually) get around to punching, clipping, and storing them all. But the main kit will stick with regular French, and Brits for Free French.

Now, this one was truly funny! ?

I think my copy is arriving today and I'm very much looking forward the the usual counter storage planning puzzle. One of the simple pleasures of ASL. ?

I don't punch anything out. I just scan all the papers and continue playing on VASL. Easy!

Quick question gentlemen: I'm punching, clipping, and Plano-ing, and I don't seem to see a Vichy Sniper (e.g., german grey outline over french blue center). Okay this is probably OCD overkill, but hey.... Am I overlooking it somewhere, or was this intentionally not included in the module? BTW, this is an awesome module - top notch components. Thanks to all who were involved in design and production!

Thank you for confirming. I'll go with the back-up plan of using a spare German sniper.
