Neutral USA/USSR unit share territory with others?

@nhgrif:

@Caesar:

as for the Japanese, they are not allowed two sea zones within US mainland.

Which exact sea zones are Japan actually allowed/restricted?

Just count two SZ from Alaska, Western US, and Mexico.

Yes as some neutrals that have no markers have no military according to G40.

Thanks Krieg!

@Ruanek:

That’s only holding it for 2 turns, and it isn’t easy for Germany to hit since it’s across the Baltic.

It’s as easy as building a few transports…

@Krieghund:

Yes.

Oh that is SOOO sweet! Wish I had known that previously.  I had not attacked a French Destroyer for fear of losing the non-Aggression NO for letting FIC be free (figured it was all or nothing.)  Ah well, my fault for not checking first!

@Frank:

You can go that route if you want but don’t be surprised if it just helps you smash the axis even more.  Russia is already hard enough to crack if a smart allied player is in control of it.  If you give it five more points a turn for just declaring war on Japan it just stacks the odds more in favor of the allies.

Or, you could look at it as the Japanese player has to take at least 5 far eastern tt from the soviets to balance things out, because the Soviets may be a tough nut to crack with a smart player, but a smart Axis player should be able to find way around it  :-)

While I would enjoy an Axis & Allies 1940 version or setup that was more historically accurate, it would be extremely difficult to win as the Axis.  Particularly as Japan.

Take 1941 and divide by 10, you get IPCs of:

I do mind these things, and will be posting on this soon.

Sierra Leone was an important Atlantic base for the UK, being it’s most westerly large colony in Africa.

However is does seem bizarre that warts like Rio de Oro and Portuguese Guinea are included while much larger and more important colonies have been left out.
