I recal a concern about this that if UK is at war with Japan but Russia is not at war in Europe, Russia can land a fighter in Egypt, forcing Italy to ignore it or attack Russia. This only really works if UK declares war on turn one or two, and Germany has not attacked Russia by turn two or three. I don’t see this as a problem for the Axis:
Japan would love a DoW by UK
Germany tends to attack Russia anyway
UK can generally hold Egypt by turn two without the Russians
If it’s the ahistoric nature of the situation that bothers you, how do you feel about Japan helping Italy in the Med, or America ignoring a Japanese occupation of Hawaii?
I’ve seen it noted before ( I believe by Krieg) that the attacker can choose to not attack units that it is not at war with. So technically Italy could still attack and Russia would just watch from the sidelines. Because it isn’t a combat turn of Russia, then I doubt they could choose to go to war at that one moment especially if it’s before turn 4.
That only applies to sea zones. If Italy takes the territory, and the Russian plane remains, what happens?
