I think the point is, all three of my opinions infer that Germany is waiting until at least round 3 to declare war on Russia. Personally, I see no good reason to declare war on them before then anyway and, personally, I prefer to have Italy declare war on Round 3 with Germany maybe not even declaring war on Round 4…that way Italy can take the road and Germany can reinforce it. That allows Germany to collect the NO for Russia and move towards Moscow.
Japanese/USSR Aggression paid out of Aggressors' pocket

Japan Declares WAR on RUSSIA
Germany Goes.
Russia AT THE START OF THEIR TURN gets an exta 12 IPC’s to spend, and spends it.
It is IMPOSSIBLE for the Axis to capture that 12 IPC’s.
Are you paying attention Sgt. Slitz?

@Cmdr:
With most people you would be fine doing that. With a few people, you would literally have to stick with the rule and this is a prime example of why these people require the letter of the law, so to speak.
Although, I would agree that:
Number of games = n
As n increases towards infinity
The limit on the number of games that Germany is in position to take Moscow just before Japan declares war on Russia, and Russia or Japan have not yet declared war is zero.I could be wrong, we do not, yet, have enough data to support my statement, but I leave it to you to disprove my hypothesis.
You are right
