L20 cyanight(axis) vs farmboy(Allies+16) BM3.3

[ksmckay]

@cyanight said in L20 cyanight(axis) vs farmboy(Allies+16) BM3.3:

@farmboy A declaration of war is all you need then their state is no longer neutral.

^^This is wrong though.

Unlike powers, war is never
declared on neutral territories—they are simply attacked.

If not attacked they are still neutral, friendly or unfriendly doesnt matter. You cant fly over them in combat except to attack them. But you can fly over them in NCM if you take control of them in NCM (friendly neutrals) or if you engage them in combat. So you would have to attack to convert them from neutral to limbo status.

[cyanight]

@ksmckay I Guess Im just used to the TripleA Method of declaration. You are right they need to be attacked or so it says in the book on page 10 - 11.

[cyanight]

@ksmckay Here is a quote on page 11

"Strict neutrals are treated in exactly the same way as
unfriendly neutrals, with one exception. An attack by either
alliance on a strict neutral territory (whether successful or
not) will result in all remaining strict neutrals immediately
becoming pro-Allies or pro-Axis, depending on who violated
the strict neutral’s neutrality. "

[cyanight]

@cyanight On Page 10

“An important concept to understand is the difference
between a neutral territory and a neutral power. There
are only six powers in the game (Germany, the Soviet
Union, the United States, the United Kingdom, Italy, and
France). While some of these powers begin the game
neutral, neutral territories begin the game not being
controlled by any power. Each neutral territory is treated
as a separate entity. Neutral territories are not linked as
countries in any way. For example, an Axis invasion of
Northwest Persia will not activate Persia’s standing army
or change its political status. Unlike powers, war is never
declared on neutral territories—they are simply attacked.”

[farmboy]

I’ll roll for that Soviet inf. Either it will be destroyed or if it survives the first round, it will retreat back to Kazakhstan.

well, I managed a hit but was killed. Doubt I will get to the allied turn tonight, but if there are any adjustments to Japan as a result of that, just post them.

[ksmckay]

@cyanight said in L20 cyanight(axis) vs farmboy(Allies+16) BM3.3:

@ksmckay Here is a quote on page 11

"Strict neutrals are treated in exactly the same way as
unfriendly neutrals, with one exception. An attack by either
alliance on a strict neutral territory (whether successful or
not) will result in all remaining strict neutrals immediately
becoming pro-Allies or pro-Axis, depending on who violated
the strict neutral’s neutrality. "

None of that changes anything, not sure what that is supposed to add. Pro axis or pro aliies is still neutral.

[farmboy]

I don’t think I’ve typically played this here the way the rules intend. We would actually need to edit out all the neutral inf in afghanistan and then edit in inf of the power of your choice. I’m fine with that actually, if you wanted to do that and adjust Japan’s turn (if that was the power you chose).

[farmboy]

I suppose I might want to rethink the Soviet ncm if that is what you wanted to do. Not sure I’d want to leave those mechs, armor exposed there.

[cyanight]

@farmboy I completely understand. I don’t think I ever paid attention to neutral powers vs neutral territory. TripleA treats the Strict neutrals like a neutral power allowing you to declare war on them. Attacking a neutral territory doesn’t make it not neutral. All it does is change the type of neutrality if it was a strict neutral.

This does change things. I agree with you. This is a normal tactic I have seen many players use. I remember AD beating me because of this exact move. He declared war on Neutrals and flew planes from Russia to India. Anyways this is new to me but like I said I don’t think I paid attention to the way Neutral Territories were described in the rules.

[cyanight]

@cyanight I stand corrected that game I spoke about with AD - he did take Afghanistan. I guess I didn’t pay attention, lol

@cyanight Please use latest file from Japan. I forgot a noncombat and changed another

As for Russia I guess you cannot fly the fighter from Moscow. You can put your inf back and remove the neutral declaration.

@farmboy said in L20 cyanight(axis) vs farmboy(Allies+16) BM3.3:

I don’t think I’ve typically played this here the way the rules intend. We would actually need to edit out all the neutral inf in afghanistan and then edit in inf of the power of your choice. I’m fine with that actually, if you wanted to do that and adjust Japan’s turn (if that was the power you chose).

In the board game, you need a way to show that there are fewer inf than the graphics indicate. so if you attack afghanistan with russia and kill 1 inf, and then retreat, you need a way to indicate that there are three left for the rest of the game (and that it is in the new non neutral state). So the rules tell you to take any powers inf units (since in the board game there are no neutral colored units). But they are still independent regardless of what color pieces you use. They cant go anywhere or do anything. Opposing power can attack them at a later time or an allied power can ncm a land unit in and grab them same as if they were still friendly neutral. Only difference is that air units can fly over the territory.

If the attack upon the formerly neutral territory is
unsuccessful (the territory is not captured), any remaining
defending units stay in the territory but can’t move. The
territory remains uncontrolled (place a national control
marker on it face down to indicate its new status), but units
from the side it’s now allied with can move into it and take
control of it and its remaining units in the same way as if it
were a friendly neutral.

TripleA makes the replacing with power of your choice unnecessary, since tripleA has neutral unit graphics. And tripleA makes you DOW on neutrals just to make game mechanics easier (converting all strict neutrals into friendly neutrals or unfriendly neutrals). Its not a rule, just something that makes it easier for tripleA to deal with how it allows or disallows certain things. And a reminder, that tripleA still messes up quite a few of the neutral rules about flying over (unless its fixed in latest version).

@cyanight said in L20 cyanight(axis) vs farmboy(Allies+16) BM3.3:

Attacking a neutral territory doesn’t make it not neutral. All it does is change the type of neutrality if it was a strict neutral.

It does though. It says in rules, it makes it allied with opposite power. It becomes its own independent power. But it cant move. But the neutral rules about air units flying over it go away. But those units cant do anything. And same as friendly neutrals, friendly real powers can NCM in and take control of the units. Its not neutral though. But every other territory that hasnt been attacked is still neutral, even if its friendly or unfriendly neutral.

[ksmckay]

So in this case, afghanistan becomes non neutral, 3 or 4 units remain there that cant move, but anybody can fly over it since its not neutral. Allies can attack it or axis can NCM a unit and take control. This is assuming russia attacked with 1 inf. Then the russian ftr can fly over it during NCM (as can any other power).

[farmboy]

Thanks @ksmckay . I think I’m finally approaching clarity here.

So it looks to me that we can go ahead with this with the adjustments from the combat in Afghanistan. But @cyanight if you want us to get a ruling from gamerman to be sure, we can do that too. Obviously, the number of air I can have in India could be quite consequential for your next set of turns. And it is not just the Soviet fighter but potentially the US fighters in the Urals that are impacted by this.
