Mongolia
Germany attacks Spain causing all neutrals to go pro-allies. This includes Mongolian territories correct? Would this allow Russia to move land units into the Mongolian territories during non-combat movements and capture the territories?

Yes, it includes Mongolia. If the ALLIES break neutrality, Mongolia is still a strict neutral (will only go Pro-Axis if directly attacked by Russia)
So yes, Russia can take control of Mongolian territories during the noncombat phase only, as they are Pro-Allied
Thanks, that’s what I thought. If Japan directly attacks a Mongolian territory while it is a strict neutral, the Mongolian territories will not flip to Russian control, but they will go pro-allies along with all other strict neutrals, correct?

Correct, assuming Japan is not attacking any Russian territories bordering Mongolia at the same time.
The only time Mongolia all goes straight to the Russians is when Japan attacks Russian-controlled territory bordering Mongolia.
Can you blitz empty neutrals you at war with?
Yes, you can blitz any neutral that is not pro-you
(assuming no units in it, of course)
Scrambles are determined before kamikaze dice are rolled, correct? I.e. you can’t wait to see if your kamikazes hit before deciding whether or not to scramble.

Right. Scramble decisions are the very last thing in the combat movement phase, phase 2
Kamikaze decisions are at the beginning of the conduct combat phase, phase 3
The confusion may come from the fact that the OOB P40 manual (1st edition) had scrambling and kamikaze decisions being made at the beginning of the conduct combat phase, but this is definitely not the case in 2nd edition
Scramble decisions at end of combat movement phase
Kamikazes at beginning of conduct combat phase
Great. Thanks for the response, Gamer.
Hi, just wondering… I have Europe and Pacific, both 2nd edition. Are there any updates to the rulebook that i should know(including global)? If yes, is there a link wich i can constantly keep an eye on? Im kinda of lost with all those alphas and etc, dont know if they are valid to the 2nd edition.
Thanks.
The only things you need to be aware of are the FAQs for both games, which can be found on the AH FAQ page. Everything else you may come across (Alpha, etc.) refers to the first editions.
Krieghund,
If I recall correctly, I asked if all rocket attack targets must be selected before rolling any (rocket) damage dice, and you said yes.
But I don’t think I asked,
When exactly may/must you select rocket targets and roll them? The rocket rule merely says that each of your operative air bases can make a rocket attack during the SBR phase…
a) always before rolling any SBR (damage) dice
b) after rolling any/all SBR (damage) dice
c) any time you want during the phase (but you can’t roll one rocket attack, see the damage, and then choose the next rocket attack)
Thanks!!
The answer is “c”.
Thanks again!
To clarify, in case I’ve confused anyone:
Sequence of events:
Combat move phase: Player moves bombers and escorts to target territories
End of combat move phase: Defender makes scrambling decisions
After combat move phase and before conduct combat phase: Defender must make intercept decisions
Beginning of conduct combat phase: Defender makes kamikaze decisions
Conduct combat phase: Player has option to roll all SBR’s and then all rockets, or all rockets and then all SBRs. All rocket targets must be selected before rolling any rocket dice. Specific facility targets for SBRs are not chosen until AFTER ANY AIR BATTLES with interceptors are complete.
Triple A notes:
Triple A conducts rocket attacks at the end of the combat move phase. This allows player to disable an air base and then prevent scrambling during the conduct combat phase, and this is VERY WRONG.
Triple A also does not allow you to target the same facility more than once, but it is legal to do so.
Triple A has you fire one rocket at a time and tells you the result before choosing the next target and this is also wrong.
Triple A will not allow you to conduct SBR and then rocket attacks, but this is allowed per the rules.
Solution: Roll rockets on the forum and never in Triple A. Edit the damage in.

Fantastic and crystal clear as always. Remind me why Gamerman is not a moderator again?
Can UK/Anzac planes land on Dutch islands without “activating” them the same turn.
Can UK/Anzac planes land on Dutch islands without “activating” them the same turn.
YES. Even American planes can land on Dutch territories when America is at war
Can you fly over a friendly neutral during the same noncombat phase that you activate it?
(Rule book says you immediately activate the army, put your control marker on it, etc. and it is moved out of neutral status. Since it’s no longer neutral, I think you could fly over it during that noncombat move unless there is a rule somewhere else that says you can’t fly over territories that were neutral at the beginning of your turn)
And another fly over question
I can only find in the rule book that the Allies who are not at war with Japan can not fly over China without declaring war (is considered an act of war by Japan)
But Japan can fly over UK/French territories before they are at war with UK (or France), correct?
Actually, in the Pacific rulebook it says Japan can attack French territories any time without a DOW. Is this true of global as well?
