Thanks for your help Deadelus.

[Daedelus]

Use it wisely!

P.S.  Where are you located?

[TheDefinitiveS]

So anyway whats the answer to this question.

[Krieghund]

Germany must declare war on USSR before participating in an attack against it.

[Gargantua]

So in other words… Germany has to declare war on Russia, on Germany’s own turn, before it can allow Italian units to be offloaded and attack Russian Territory?

[Krieghund]

Yes.

[Gargantua]

BOOOOOOO! My plans!  They are all GONE!

[Variable]

Is this because the German transports are considered part of the attack (amphibious assault)?

@Variable:

Yes.  Transports that unload for an amphibious assault do so in the Combat movement phase (ending their movement for that turn), and so they are considered part of the combat force.
