For instance what happens if Japan attacks a British Persia containing Russian units while at peace with Russia?

@Misterblue Japan would need to be at war with both powers, so could only do it, if it declared war on Russia first.

@ulmisiscrazy
Ahhh - Thanks. I had not heard that terminology before and I assumed Afrika Corps meant getting German ground units onto German or Italian transports in the Med and moving them to North Africa.

Unfortunately, just like in the real war, the most effective unit seems to be the Infantry. They have the IPM, they are used in territory trading (what I call attacks of attrition), they can be deployed as barriers to protect valuable units in the rear, etcetera.

Tanks, in my opinion, best compliment the IPM benefit of infantry.

Fighters come in third, as they can range out to hit, but cannot take land. Great defensive units as well.

Interesting - and quite unusual on this forum - that it took 8 years to see the initital question of the OP has been finally answered.

In that case I accept the resurrection of an ancient buried topic - despite the fact that the OP hasn’t been online since then. ;-)

So thank you.

If I am playing a non-balanced mod game of G40, I always bring Russian mech/tanks and a couple of planes to help out China. They often can help fortify Yunnan for a critical round, or have an opportunity to blitz into Malaysia for the big bonus and additional headache. If things are not looking promising in China, the fast movers can make it back to Moscow before they are needed for a final assault on the capitol. If China has more income and Japan is hurt in the mainland of Asia, USA can spend additional income in the Atlantic. That more than compensates for the reduced units in the European theater. In fact, if the Allies can keep and fortify Yunnan, they have a very high chance of winning.

Each unit may be paired with only one other unit in the same turn phase, but it may be paired with a different unit in another turn phase. In Miker49’s example, the tank may be paired with the mechanized infantry in the Combat Move phase, then be paired with the tactical bomber in the Conduct Combat phase. In Jeffdestroyer’s example, the tank may be paired with the mechanized infantry in the Combat Move phase, then be paired with either the mechanized infantry or tactical bomber in the Conduct Combat phase, but not both. See the Combined Arms sidebar on page 16 of the Rulebook.

@TexCapPrezJimmy:

If Japan attacks USSR turn 1, does that bring Germany and USSR into war?

No.

@TexCapPrezJimmy:

If Japan attacks USA turn 1, and Germany/Italy did not attack the USSR turn 1, can USA land planes in USSR turn 1?

No, because the USSR is not at war with anyone.
