As I underderstand the rules, Russia can land planes on U.K. territories if they are at war with Japan (this may be changed with upcomming rules revisions, I’m not sure). So can Russia, if at war with Japan, land it’s fighters on U.K. carriers?
I was thinking that they could use the Gibralter carrier R2 if U.K. brings it to the English Channel. This could be used as a bridging point to get to the U.K. (via the Baltic) or, more importantly, help defend during the sea Battle, leaving the U.K. Fighters free to defend the land. Most Importantly this would mean that German would have to declare war on Russia (G3) to attack the planes if they were at sea.
Could the rules work this way?
If So Russia couls start German Smashing R3 with most of Germany’s troops poised for a Sea Lion Attack. Probably what would happen is Germany would call it off and transport those troops to Lennigrad.
Thoughts anyone (yes, you too SalothSar)?
