2014 G40 league rules


  • The DOW on true neutrals is just a TripleA thing, right? Does that have any affect at all if you DOW on a prior turn, but don’t actually attack anything? If you attack a territory on an earlier turn, can you fly over it freely?

    tripleA handles the neutrals completely wrong - don’t trust anything it does.  you can only fly over a neutral territory that you actually attacked.  on the turn you attack any neutral, the rest of the neutrals, for all intents and purposes i believe, become like pro-the other side-neutrals.  the one(s) you actually attack become friendly to the other side, meaning they can land aircraft there immediately, unless you took the territory of course.


  • Ok, that clears up my questions. Thanks.


  • I guess my questions aren’t cleared up yet  :|

    @MagicQ:

    c) You CAN fly over a neutral that has been attacked previously, because it is actually no longer a neutral even if it was not conquered.  It has joined the opposing side.  You can do this in the non-combat move immediately following the attack.

    Sounds like if I attack Afganistan with USA fig in moscow, then UK air can fly over no matter what.


  • To clarify, I’m asking if a neutral does indeed join the axis side immediately if it is attacked by the allies.

    Absolutely correct as it relates to any neutral which has actually been attacked on any prior turn by any power.

    in this case Afghanistan immediately becomes friendly to the axis but does not become axis controlled until an axis land unit walks in.

    All unattached neutrals change to proaxis neutral status and all that entails.

    Friendly is NOT neutral.

    Axis controlled
    Friendly to axis
    Pro axis neutral
    True neutral


  • Oh, I see. I didn’t get the distinction between friendly and pro-axis neutral. The rule book calls them friendly neutrals, so I got confused  :oops:

    Yes bad wording by rulebook.

    I think they rulebook tried to use the word ‘friendly’ as shorthand for ‘proaxis or Pro allied’.  :|

    I think that the term “friendly” is used in the same context as the Dutch territories are to UK Pacific and ANZAC.  You can land a “friendly” plane there, but you don’t actually take the territory until you place a land unit in it.

  • '12

    The only distinctions btw friendly and pro are that aircraft can land in friendly and aircraft can fly over friendly without restriction.


  • Good explanations, I will add supplementary explanations.

    Friendly means the territory has joined the alliance (is part of the Axis or the Allies) and is no longer neutral.  Therefore planes can land there and planes from both sides can fly over.

    “Pro-Axis” or “Pro-Allies” means it is still neutral.  Territories remain pro-axis or pro-allies until they are activated/claimed OR attacked at which time they become friendly to one of the sides (even if attacked and no infantry are lost).

    There is no such thing as declaring war on the neutrals, so if you click declare war on neutrals in Triple A but then don’t actually attack one, then you actually haven’t done anything and no territories will change.

    One final clarification… triplea doesn’t handle the neutrals correctly in almost every regard so beware.


  • Yeah you already said that  :-)

    don’t think i can stress it enough.  reading your post, one might think tripleA could possibly be trusted in come cases to do something right…  :wink:

    “There is no such thing as declaring war on the neutrals, so if you click declare war on neutrals in Triple A but then don’t actually attack one, then you actually haven’t done anything and no territories will change.”

    This is the sentence i was referring to.  Not sure how each and every person would interpret this so wanted to reiterate that no matter what tripleA does, do not trust it to do anything correctly when it comes to the neutrals.

    Imho you are dramatizing the issue.

    Most of the time it doesn’t affect your plane paths at all. Only very few cases (like India -> TRJ) are really important.

    Other than that, I have not needed to edit anything so far.
