Unsurprisingly, the Allies won. The Soviets did really well.
I’m guessing Germany would decline a Neutral Russian request to move the BB and sub through the straight of Denmark.
Yes, I’m afraid Germany is going to have do deny that. I’m sure Russia understands. Commercial reasons, of course.

Russia understands, the navy was “officially” going to aid the Mexican government regarding the 23 year old Zimmerman Telegram. Now they will have to re-evaluate which side to join when war hits Europe. :-D

Russia’s patrols are getting kinda close.
I assume UK and Anzac units may share territories prior to declaring war with Japan. Is that correct? I see that they share spaces in Egypt and they are at war with Germany and Italy at the beginning of the game per the rule book AAE40 page 33 top paragraph. Basically, they declare on Japan or move into China which is an act of war.
I’m asking regarding whether Anzac can land on UK carriers. I will not be declaring war turn 2, as I want the US to be able to attack Japan turn 3 if prompted.
Anzac can land on UK carriers, that is correct. I don’t quite understand the relationship to US though.
Maybe I’m just missing something. :-)
If I don’t declare war turn 2, Japan must decide if they will turn 3. If they do an unprovoked attack on UK/Anzac, USA may declare war turn 3. Thus a relationship exists: attack UK/Anzac and USA will/may attack Japan :-D cause and effect. Typically, Japan may not care if USA attacks, I intend to make things interesting if my plan works :roll:
Oh okay, I misunderstood what you said then.
:roll:
Gotcha!
