Stough v Squire G40 BM

[Stough]

Can I move my sub to the Carolines ?

[Stough]

My US sub

[squirecam]

@stough

Nope.

The United States: The United States begins the game neutral, and as such isn’t initially part of the Allies. Being at war with no one and having a strict isolationist policy, the United States has especially tight restrictions. It may not move land or air units into neutral territories. It may not move units into territories or onto ships belonging to another power or use another power’s naval bases, nor may another power move land or air units into its territories or onto its ships or use its naval bases. In addition, the United States may not end the movement of its sea units in sea zones that are adjacent to Japanese-controlled territories

[Stough]

Yep, just read it myself. Sorry to put you to the trouble.

It’s great move squatting next to Hawaii.

I don’t like that it’s legal, but it is quite legal.
(If I was the god of Axis and Allies, I’d change that rule because in 1940 it would obviously provoke war. IMO)

Anyhow, my moaning aside, I’ve got it figured how to temporarily defend against it, but the choices are pretty crappy. And it doesn’t bode well for the long term.

I’d like some more time to look at other options I haven’t thought of yet.

Once we are finished with this game, I’d love to hear your solutions to your Japanese move. If you would be so generous.
