kind of funny how the weird mongolian rules allow russian troops into korea (and any other territory bording mongolia), and allow them to fight against japanese units, so long as someone else conquered korea instead of them

[Gargantua]

I hate to rain on everyone’s parade… but wasn’t the Russian involvement in China a few turns ago a Russian D.O.W. that negates the need for a D.O.W. by Japan?

[Gargantua]

Also, by the same rules, for Russia to occupy non-russian lands, or board allied transports, they need to be  in a state of war, on that game board.

By the same token, the allies can’t land in Russian territories unless a state of war also exists.

The only exception here, may be in how the Mongolia rules are written, that if certain territories are attacked, regardless of the current state of war, that the neutrals get activated.

[Veqryn]

Russia declared war on Japan round 1 garg.

What they are doing is legal.

I only commented that it was weird.

the DOW by russia on japan is a separate issue from the mongolia pact.  i’m guessing you’ve figured this out but let me know if you would like further clarification.

[Gargantua]

There are/were many variatons of the rules, I must have got lost in translation somewhere. :P

[Cow]

I am not one to complain. Go to war with Japan as Russia all the time.

[Cow]

I mean I have done it.

If u mean lost this game then u r correct.

[Cow]

The axis are way ahead of schedule and already knocking on Russias door.

cow, if you lose (at this point i’m forced to say IF because
with this most recent incredibly lucky strike, you are probably operating with essentially a 60-80 ipc bid), any credibility you may theoretically have had will dissipate like a fart in the wind…  especially if you don’t end up losing because of some incredibly unlucky result in a major battle.  but if by some crazy twist the one sided luck in this one evens out, i don’t want to hear any whining from you about bad luck cuz the first 4 rounds (the most important rounds) have been ALL YOU.

jeers

[Gargantua]

I don’t see the “if”.

The axis are going to get stomped.

[Cow]

I am not going to whine about luck. Luck is why I am here.

I am a Ravens fan. Joe Flacco is my quarterback and he is elite.

[Cow]

You are like Tony Romo. People pay you more credit, but you don’t make the playoffs.

[Cow]

I know when I need to get lucky and I know what opportunities await when I get lucky. When I start losing that is when I throw in all my desperate last ditch effort attacks. I am not there yet. :P

I guess you have at least one redeemable quality.  :-)

My hatred for you has deepened. :)

Hey if it makes you feel better Garg, whenever Cam Cameron gets fired the QB he used to coach performs better.

[Cow]

I think the Raiders should grab an OT. At some point get Tyler Wilson and Mike Glennon. Got to develop someone for QB. You are a Raider right? It is not like I am a Steelers fan.

guys we are going to need more time for this USA/CH/UK move.  i moved this weekend and as busy as ever at work - the transition from winter to spring is the very most busy time of the year in my business and it’s been insane.  i have not had the time needed to sit down and really plan long term strategy in this game.  obviously that is now going to be necessary with the incredible dice the axis have put up so far.
