Mongolia and Neutrals - rules summarized here

[Caesar-Seriona]

Mongolia rule still applies if Italy and Germany attack USSR territories too or does this exclusively apply to Japan?

[gamerman01]

Mongolia rules only concern Russia, Mongolia, Japan

[Caesar-Seriona]

So if Italy and Germany do not trigger Mongolia to join USSR, what happens if Germany controls a boarder USSR territory and Japan during non combat send a land unit into their allies territory?

[simon33]

I believe that the Mongolian rule remains in effect. So if the Germans send a tank across Siberia, Mongolian rule remains dormant.

Wait, there’s more. If the USA take Amur from the Germans after Moscow is taken down, then the Japanese take Amur, Mongolian rule is still dormant. If the Japanese later attack Soviet troops following the tank in Buryatia, the Mongolian rule will activate.

The rule says “if Japan attacks any Soviet-controlled territory that is adjacent to any Mongolian territory”

Do you need access to a rulebook?

[Caesar-Seriona]

No. I need specific breakdown of the rule as if you haven’t notice, there is A LOT of loopholes in the rules.

[gamerman01]

No need to be impolite.  There is no loophole here - it’s in black and white and very clear and direct.

Did my post above fail to clear things up for you?

It cleared it up, I am just trying to see how abusive one can take with the rules in AnA. As said, loopholes exist in AnA and I wish to exploit them as much as I can however I also want to make sure my enemy can fairly do it. I understood the Mongolia rule before I asked the question but never quested if it works for Germany or Italy. Which is why I wanted to know if Japan could non-combat its way pass Mongolia if it would still trigger it. It may seem strange to ask as if the odds are the western Axis are near Mongolia, the allies are clearly losing, but I still wanted to know encase I ever encounter the Pacific Lion. (or whatever it is called when Germany ignores Moscow to attack India).

Good summary for a new player. Thanks!

[gamerman01]

Glad to hear it!  Thanks for the feedback.

Axis invaded neutral Territories and is at war with them.
However; when the US joins the Allies they can’t Blitz through any neutral and friendly neutral Territories, correct?

Example:
South America needs to be taken Territory by Territory.
Or invaded simultaniously.
A Tank can’t  Blitz through Colombia from Central America.

[gamerman01]

Correct!  The only neutral that can be blitzed is an unfriendly neutral (that is empty, of course)

[aequitas-et-veritas]

Thanks for clarification Gamerman01.
Allways appreciated.
Thank you.

Nobody invades true neutrals with Axis but Amon`s Wehrmacht  8-)

[simon33]

I’m also wondering what amon’s plan is!

[aequitas-et-veritas]

He must have some Aces in his sleeve. 8-)

[Amon-Sul]

I have sent my apprentice to crush the true neutrals :D
