Russia doesn’t get the bonus.
The rule doesn’t say “Axis powers that Russia is at war with.”
So, Germany can deny Russia’s bonus even if they aren’t at war with Russia.
Another thing, if Italy captured a Russian territory on its turn, Germany could noncombat move into that territory without declaring war.
If you are playing Global, yes.
Is not easy. You will probably only get the bonus on UK1.
Well, if germany/italy work hard enough, then yes. The only places they u might have trouble retaking would be malta, cyprus, and alex if germany lands planes with italian garrison. British somaliand is annoying but reclaimable. everywhere else, the allies should eb able to reclaim without too much trouble.
My group and I have not played since Christmas and are planning on playing this weekend. Could someone please point me to the newest and most up to date rules and objectives.
