Cool, thanks. Will let my group know!

Neutral Activation
-
Can the UK activate a pro-ally neutral by flying a plane into it in noncombat?
-
No. A land unit is required. Air units may not move into or through a neutral territory, unless they are attacking it.

Then can you attack a pro-you neutral from the air?
-
No. You can’t attack friendly neutrals at all. Why would you want to?

:roll: :roll: :roll:

Same reason you’d want to build a naval base in a land-locked territory.

I always wondered how the game would turn out if you swaped an axis power for an ally power.
-
Activate? Pro-your side neutrals can be activated? As in… you move forces in and get an extra so many infantry from that country?
Or does Activated mean you moving land units in to take the IPC value?
-
It means both of those things.
-
Both. What? You been living under a rock Hoffman? :-P

No. No rock… mounds of work.
I haven’t read up on the specifics of the rules yet… I don’t know most of the NO’s and apparently the new Neutral rules. There was nothing like this in Pacific 40.

Can a tank blitz through a pro-ally or axis neutral:
Example: Tank from Romania blitz through Bulgaria to go fight in Yugoslavia.

You can only go into a pro-you neutral in noncombat. A related question is if you can move through a pro-you neutral on the way to another friendly tt.

No. You have to stop.

I was thinking about helping defend Africa and moving my planes in India to Syria but apparently I cant fly over other neutral countries? I would hate to have those planes land in British solialand and get smoked by 3 italian infantry, sounds impossible but it has happened frequently.
-
Can a plane land in a pro-neutral in the same non-combat movement phase in which the land unit moves in to activate that neutral, or must it wait till the next turn as per conquered territory?
-
It must wait.
-
To clarify, then:
The pro-neutral only becomes part of an alliance at the end of a non-combat movement phase after all units have completed their moves; it does not become friendly as soon as a land unit moves in.
-
For all practical purposes, yes.

I would guess that fit in with the ‘can only land in tt that you owned at the start of your turn’ concept.
“Your air units cannot land in territories you just captured, whether they were involved in the combat or not”(AAP40 rulebook page 26 pargraph 1)
