@yazoinkergrapft Yes, the United States is allowed to declare war. If it does, the sea zone immediately becomes hostile, as there are enemy surface warships in it. However, since the United States is not declaring war until the Collect Income phase, during the Combat Move, Conduct Combat, and Noncombat Move phases the sea zone is still friendly, so the United States can still occupy it freely. On Japan’s next turn, its units in the sea zone will be starting the turn in an enemy-occupied sea zone, so the normal rules for that situation apply (those units must either move away in combat movement or attack).
Clarifications about blocking and such
-
Q1 - Can you NCM navy and transports into a seazone that has an enemy transport?
Q2 - Since subs cannot block, can you NCM navy into a seazone with an enemy sub (or say, an enemy sub AND transport but nothing else, just to combine my two questions)?
-
ALSO, how does blitzing work with a PRO Neutral. My specific case is this: 1 inf., 1 tank for Italy in Albania, next to UNactivated Bulgaria. Can I “combat” the infantry into Bulgaria, activating it, and for a NCM blitz the tank through to Romania?
-
I believe you can NCM into a sea zone with just enemy transports, but you may as well just destroy them. If there are subs I believe you can NCM in as well, but I’m not as sure.
You can never enter a friendly neutral territory by attacking (or in the combat move phase). You can only make then yours in the non-combat move.
