At first i did it as a possible flank for the chinese. but then, I realized that (if you play Japan properly and dominate with your airforce) China died too fast to be flanked anyways. They were retreating/dying faster than my flanking units could possibly get behind them.
China can’t enter Mongolia because of the ACME wall, can they?
No
So if Japan has a bad game they can be like, no f**k you, I’m just going to hide up here and you can’t do anything about it
That’s one of the reasons why I call the ACME wall “mother of bugs”
By ‘ACME’, you mean China being able to only enter limited territories?
I haven’t invaded any Mongolian territory yet, but I can see it being used as a possible flanking tool for both Japan and the USSR.
Once Russia is involved (global) Mongolia could see some action. I noticed that 2 Mongo tt don’t have def units in them (Central & Tsag). Jap (once China is finish in the north) could blitz its tanks and mech through say Tsagaan into Dz. Then the next turn might be able to cut off or delay the Siberians coming home to Reinforce Moscow. In the same token Russia could have its Siberians plow through Mongolia to aid China in its last stand, or at least set-up a counterattack for the Jap survivors in northern China.

I’m not sure if you can blitz through a neutral territory, even if it’s empty
You know that’s a good question. I was assuming that you could blitz through an unoccupied neutral tt as you can any other unoccupied tt friendly or hostel. This is a question for Pac40 (Mongolia).
So how about it Krieg, can you?
Furthermore will you be able blitz through pro your side neutrals in Euro, whether they are occupied or not, keeping in mind that entering a pro neutral turns the units printed on the map to your side immediately.
One more, can you blitz through an unoccupied pro enemy neutral (provided there are a few in the Euro game).
Yes, you can blitz through unoccupied neutral territories when you attack them. Of course, territories with as yet unmustered standing armies are not considered to be unoccupied. As for blitzing through neutrals that are pro your side, that wil be illegal.

Can you blitz through a pro-you neutral which has an army?

I think Krieg’s last line answered that, it also sounds like all the pro neutrals may have standing armies, otherwise I think he would have addressed the last part of my earlier post about blitzing though unoccupied enemy pro’s. Is this correct?
You can’t blitz through neutral territories that are pro your side - period. It doesn’t matter whether they’re occupied or not.

Then, in you Non combat, can you move a tank into a pro-you neutral and move it back?

No.
Krieg,
I’m guessing that you take over pro to your side neutrals in your noncombat move (like the Dutch), as long as your enemy hasn’t invaded.
Then you would attack/invade neutrals that are pro to your enemy in combat phase.
I did it so that i could have a safe place to put my units into while i began my invasion of China. Plus it is good for flanking their rear side. :-D (^^^)

Seems like a reasonable assumption.
What about the neutral ACME walls as we saw in Mongolia in AAP40? In global, when you “wake” a neutral territory, all the country is awaken as well? (Mongolia and Portugal will be examples for sure, and it’s probable that Turkey and Spain as well)
If ACME wall is totally cartoonish and ilogical for China, it’s even worst for neutrals, because you have not the bad excuse of the Chinese Civil War (that is represented anyway by the smurf-sized chinese army and income)
The only thing cartoonish around here are the constant complaints by Players, surrounding China’s rulesets and limitations.
It’s a game, get over it. How cartoonish is it that artillery can take part in amphibious landings, or that it’s shorter (in terms of sheer movement distance) to blitz tanks through the northen steppes of Russia, or Across canada in one go, then it is to go from one Europen territory to another 2 away.
Or the fact posts about ACME walls, and complaints to Krieghund aren’t outright banned.
If it’s so bad for you that the game becomes unplayable. Leave the community. Please.
It should also be noted “ACME” Situations in real life are not even that uncommon.
Like in Yugoslavia, They struck a deal with the allies, No air bombing of cities, for no AA shooting at allied planes.
Chinese infantry also often wore German Uniforms too, is that not ridiculous?
Or how about when Macarthur was ordered to bomb HALF of a bridge?
Better tell everyone on your twitter/myspace/facebook about these revelations so they can help you come up with some new, constructive material.

Thank you for saying so.
What people tend to forget is that these annoying ACME wall rules are in place to prevent even more annoying and a-historical abuses, such as Chinese units marching across Russia to can-opener against the Germans (you know it would happen).
If a rule has been put in (especially by someone who is notorious for NOT wanting special rules), then please trust that it is there for a good reason. I for one am inclined to trust the judgment of a veteran game designer who has a 30 year history producing success after success with a dozen versions and variants of a flagship game franchise than the nitpicking rants and whines of people who have had, shall we say, slightly less success as professional game designers.

Are you one of the few(from what I’ve seen on the forums) people who think P40 is balanced?
