@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).
Sierra Leone

Sierra Leone is neutral in G40, even though it was a UK colony at the time. Apparently SOMEONE in the game development area read info on Wikipedia and decided to make it neutral because Wikipedia falsely said that it was a neutral nation and this is someone’s edit that was overlooked. Someone tampered with the World War II article and I suspect that it was an Afrocentrist, though I have no evidence proving this. Who knows? I can only merely speculate at this point. It should have the United Kingdom color and roundel insignia on it. I’m surprised Renegade Game Studios and Hasbro have decided to overlook this. Maybe not.
How does one contact them, anyway?

It looks like this has already been addressed to Larry but never been resolved.
