No neither is gamey in my book, it’s part of the game that can lead to a victory (should be a 1 or 2 trick pony). Once your group see’s these moves, it’s up to your opponent to do something about it. Our group see’s a couple Italians at the Russian front often, which can help the Germans to push deeper into Russia. So if this is happening the Russians might need to picket with 2-3 inf in key territories, so you have a chance to kill off the Italian ground unit(s). A few Italians can allow you to sack some Russians, or simply bring your German air to the front so the Russians can’t strafe your German stack w/o air cover. Can also get you to Stalingrad or Caucasus faster, but often times it risks your German mech/tanks if the Russians see it and set up a counter. Sometimes Russia has to deal with a 3 ring circus if both Italy and Japan are knocking on the door w/Germany, it is up to the other Allies to even up the score. Even if Moscow falls, it’s all about what they can take with them, and if the western allies are in position to put the hurt on. Besides, if those Italian bombers are picking off Russians, they aren’t helping much in the Med (although the range allows them to threaten both theaters through the Black Sea).
Can Strict Neutrals be blitzed?

Yes.

Thank you.

If I may… I’m really surprised by this answer. Please forgive my english as I don’t practice it enough… but I want to make sure I understand right.
In Europe 1940’s rule book, p.10, under Friendly Neutrals :
Friendly neutrals may not be attacked, and air units may not fly over them. They can be moved into (but not through) as a noncombat move by land units of a power that is at war
Say, a friendly neutral to me… I can’t move during combat move, I can’t move throught it (blitz) during non combat. But, from your answer, the ennemy can. So, actually, “sided” neutrals without troops is more open to his ennemy’s than his friends.
From that rule, I thought all neutrals were stopping movement, regardless of sides. But seems I was wrong.
In clear, for instance :
There’s no way Russia can rush through untouched Northwest Persia, but Axis could attack Caucasus from Iraq with armors through the same untouched Persia. Correct?
(By untouched, I mean no nation ever walked in, therefore no nation markers over it).Thank you :)

That’s a friendly neutral. A Blitz is basically an attack, so you can do it to strict neutrals (making them all pro-the other side) but you can’t attack friendly neutrals (since they’re already pro-your side).
Edit: I see your point, though. It does seem a bit weird.

You understand correctly. Violence against defenseless enemies often yields quicker results than diplomacy with reticent friends.

:lol: :lol: So funny (but sadly true) answer.
Thanks for you time, I’ll share the information with my group.

is it possible to move units into a strict neutral in ncm-phase?,
may i i.e. move german troops in ncm-phase into spain to attack from there gibraltar the next turn? -
No.

If you are Japan and have made an amphibious landing into Persia (with a couple of Tanks) can you then, on your follwoing turn, blitz through Northen Persia (non-activated) to attack the Caucasus?
-
Yes.
