If Japan attacks J1, putting the US at war, do they have a Major IC to place with US1? Or does it happen during the collect income phase, like the bonuses, making it operational US2?
As I have explained before, the reason Chinese movement is limited is to reflect the historical fact that China was also embroiled in a civil war (Nationalists versus Communists) at the same time that it was fighting the Japanese invaders. As such, it had little interest in matters outside its own borders (keeping the Burma Road open for Allied aid being an obvious exception). This restriction keeps China from influencing the game outside of its borders without having complicated rules to represent the impact of this conflict.
Don’t forget about the warlord factions!:) Sure they were nominally supportive of Chaing but he had to keep a decent force back just to police his ‘allies’.
You’re right. Partial retreats are not allowed. The only exception is in amphibious assaults, where air units and land units that arrived by land may retreat, leaving the amphibious units to fight on alone.
Oh that is SOOO sweet! Wish I had known that previously. I had not attacked a French Destroyer for fear of losing the non-Aggression NO for letting FIC be free (figured it was all or nothing.) Ah well, my fault for not checking first!
It only applies to Russia and the US. Japan is at war.China is not part of the WESTERN Allies. Remember: the West consists of the Americas, Western Europe, South Africa, and ANZAC
