@discalced
how did the mongolians come to play, I thought the soviets declared war first
@zarhunter
Lets restart, I have missed the politics side of whats going on and how it works. But I thought the mongolians do not join if soviets declare war first.

I made the same mistake in another game (that I wound up losing). The state of relations (war/peace) between Russia and Japan has no impact on whether Mongolia joins Russia if Japan attacks a Mongolia-adjacent territory, unless Russia has already attacked a Mongolia-adjacent territory, or Korea.
Happy to rematch, with the same bid if that works for you. Spin up a game. Please post the result for this one, if you’re content that it is finished.
@discalced
I guess the only downside is that Japan can convoy and blockade russia?
Plus losing France turn 1 was a bad omen.
You please post results, I am not sure where it goes and the proper format. I will start up again probably tomorrow.

Losing France was really unhelpful. Never experienced it before, but I imagine a tough thing to recover from. Germany needs those PUs.
In BM, Russia does get some extra PUs if Japan doesn’t place a naval unit in the SZ adjacent to Far East (iirc).
I think that you had your J navy in a disadvantageous position…you want to threaten the USA. Also, you probably want to have more of a presence down by FIC and the DEIs. The DEIs matter a lot for Japan’s income. Most folks establish FIC; China cannot attack there, and it can be a critical hinge for what Japan wants/needs to do.
I will post the result.
For our rematch, swap the (bid) sub from 98 to 91, otherwise the same.
