@barnee said in Russians in Ethiopia:
That’s more than half the fun discovering it on your own :)
It really is! And I impressed my playgroup too.
I think a German denial of Access to a Neutral would be an act of war. IMHO
Not really.
If you really want to do this, the only way is to have the UK take Denmark, but Germany would probably retake it before Russia could get through.

Absolutly. And how do you determine who is on what side before war is declared. Is the U.S.S.R. classified as a pro-allied neutral before war is declared? Some are declared as pro-allied and some pro-axis by the setup. But I think the Ruskies are called a neutral. Page 9 of the rule book. The book also mentions the Molotov-Ribbentrop pact which was historical. It assures that the Soviet Union will remain neutral should Germany go to war. It also permits each power to expand its sphere of influence in Eastern Europe WITHOUT INTERFERENCE from the other. Again from page 9 of the rule book.

None of that matters; Krieghund has stated what I said multiple times.

Sorry, I have missed seeing Kriegs post on this issue.
Even without Krieg’s post, the rulebook makes it clear. The Germans and the Russians did NOT have an alliance for the purposes of this game(otherwise, they’d be able to move into each other’s territory); for this game, it was merely a trade agreement, shown by the German NO.

Thanks for looking that up. Now at least I know the official way to play this Danish straight thing.
Just horse trade with the Germans,
IE, I will withdraw troops from the eastern front in certain areas, if you allow my battleship to pass through the canal.
That said, I agree that a denial of canal access, should be seen as a DOW.
In our game today I denied permission for the Soviet ships to leave then I desroyed them with two subs and a couple of planes.

So basically the denial led to war anyway…?

It was time for Barbarossa. The Baltic attack was just a part of Barbarossa.
Well atleast the reds tried to escape.
