if the mongolian units are activated and then they become Soviet they can move whereever they like, china, india, japan australia. you name it
@Trout They become fully Soviet units–no restrictions. Once activated, they are the same as any other pro-Allied neutral unit. They become fully integrated into your country’s forces.
@Krieghund Thanks all for the clarification. In a game currently where this happened and wanted to make sure before I move those dudes out of their homeland
G1: invade Yugoslavia and ping pong to Romania and leave Yugo for Italy.
Does this attack change the political situation in Yugoslavia from Friendly Allied Neutral to Allied At War Neutral?
Does this change in political situation allow for the fighter on Malta to land in Yugo turn one?
I feel like I read about this situation or saw it in a video but I can’t find this situation addressed in the rule book.
Thank you
@dazedwit When Germany attacks Yugoslavia, it immediately stops being neutral and joins the Allies. This means that it is friendly to all Allied powers, so they are all free to enter it with any units in subsequent turns, and control of it can still be taken as though it were still a friendly neutral. See page 11 of the Rulebook.

This rule is not properly implemented in Triple-A, which doesn’t allow planes to land in this scenario.
If Germany attacked and failed to take Yugo, can the UK land planes there as a “friendly” territory without landing any ground units there?
As in, can UK attack Italian fleet and count the Yugo terr. as a potential landing space, even if no UK land units will ever make to Yugo that turn.
Thanks!
@Karl7 Yes. However, they cannot take control of it with only air units.
If Japan were to take say New Guinea, is that a sneaky way to strip Anzac of both NO’s since New Guinea is originally controlled Anzac territory?
@dazedwit Of course.

This was the rule that was incorrectly implemented in Triple-A. It is prohibited but should be allowed. Also the blitzing to activate, which shouldn’t be possible.

What prompted this? i don’t recall posting in this section for a LONG TIME. Whats it in referenced from?
@Imperious-Leader The answer is simple. If you invade a true neutral, it and everyone else is now at war with you. it could be axis or allies. the side that now has more support merely has to get their land units in the nation and claim these soldiers as their own. What else?

When you attack a strict neutral, only that territory joins the other side (with the exception of Mongolia being attacked by Japan). The rest of the strict neutrals become pro- the other side.
@Krieghund well there you go…
UK1 they land Rio de Oro turning all strict neutrals pro axis.
Can Russia take Afghanistan after and get $3 NO for taking a pro Axis neutral?
I feel like answer is yes and a new strategy will be in the works if so.
@dazedwit Page 25 “3 IPCs for each territory that the Soviet Union controls that was originally German, Italian, or pro-Axis neutral.” An interesting thought but it appears it would not work as Afghanistan was not originally pro axis
@Krieghund I’ve got a question relative to potential non combat movement, and the option to scramble.
If there is an Italian cruiser and battleship that starts in a SZ (say SZ98), and a transport comes from another SZ into SZ98, to make an amphibious assault on Egypt, and the cruiser and battleship specifically are not used to bombard, but simply remain in SZ98, in case UK opts to scramble (there is an airbase in Egypt), can the battleship and cruiser move during the noncombat movement phase if the UK opts not to scramble?
Thanks in advance!
@matttodd1 Yes, they can, as they neither moved in combat movement nor participated in combat.
