@Jmite:
If UK/ANZ declare war on Japan on turn 1 and Axis does not declare war on USA in response (ie USA would not be able to declare war on Axis until end of turn 3) if Japan attacks FIC does this:
a. Act as a DOC on USA?
b. If not a DOC on USA void the above at peace with USA NO; ie Japan would lose this NO?
A) Declaring war on France (technically required before combat moving into FIC) has no bearing on US diplomacy. If UK/Anzac attack Japan first, the US will only be brought into war if the Axis declares war on her or during the collect income phase of US3. So no.
B) If you attack FIC, you lose the NO. you can declare war on France and not attack FIC and still collect the NO. There are 3 standards to be met and if one is violated, the NO is lost:
Japan has not declared war on UK/Anzac first.
Japan has not attacked FIC.
Japan has not declared war on the US / US has not declared war on Japan.
If all of those are true (and they are independent - one does not necessarily cause another), Japan still collects the NO.
