@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).

So no matter how many sixes a nation gets in Research and Development in a turn, they only get one advancement per turn. Is that right? Thank you,

Correct. You need at least one “six” for “a” (=only one) breakthrough.

Thank you! Too bad I can’t have the US have a chance to get 10 breakthroughs in the first round with extreme luck.

@superbattleshipyamato there was a time in the 90s when people were buying nothing U1 and 14 dice U2. It made some extremely frustrating games (although the times when they got 0 sixes out of 14 dice were hilarious)

That’s fun.
