Global 2nd edition Q+A ( AAG40.2)

Any time, Q!

One clarification please.
If axis don’t attack USA in R3, can USA player declare war in his R3 or must he wait til R4?
I thought USA can declare war, but i see in post here that people talk about USA declaring war in R4 so I’m puzzled.

Crobattalion: the US can declare war in the Collect Income phase of its third turn, not the beginning of its Combat Round, like all other nations do.
This means it cannot do anything agressive in its third turn: the movement restrictions are still in place.

ok, thank you

Forgot something

If Russia attacks Korea does that change the mongolian situation?

which means the japanese can then attack russian territories bordering mongolia without the mongolians joining the russians.  :-)

Yes
Korea was added with the 2nd edition (was not even in Alpha3) to territories Russia could not attack without losing the Mongolians.

Assuming you mean Japan has not invaded a Russian territory bordering Mongolia yet.

Holy smokes 69 pages for FAQ…is there a class I can take to learn how to play this game

The previous Global 1940 FAQ thread (before 2nd edition) was 219 pages (a good chunk was redundant, but still  :lol:).

While a pretty deep and semi-complex game, the 1940 rule books are VERY good. I wouldn’t be exaggerating much saying 50% of the answers to questions in this post can be found in the rulebook.

Agreed.  The answer to about half of the questions on these threads are obvious if you do a reasonable read of the rule book.

I would be happy to provide you with intensive A&A training for $50 an hour - cheaper than a college class!  :-D

Urgent ruling needed!

Germany controll EP and Romania. They have 5 tank in EP and 5mec in Romania.

Bessarabia is empty russian (no units).

Can German mech attack Ukraine as they “meet” German tanks in bessarabia.

None of the mech in East Poland can get to Ukraine in the combat move.

Each mech must be paired with a tank, and they both must start and end their combat movement together.

In what circumstances would fighter be given 1 extra space movement to land?

@MagicQ:

In what circumstances would fighter be given 1 extra space movement to land?

On defense -
When returning from scrambling out to a sea zone
When its carrier is damaged or sunk (but must return to carrier it was on before unless impossible, so the movement point is granted only when its carrier is damaged or sunk)

Note that scrambled air units must return to their original territory unless it was captured by the enemy.

Also, fighter interceptors for bombing raids whose original territory was captured by the enemy may move one space to land.

If I have a russian unit in suiyuyan… and japan attacks it… does mongolia turn russian? or did they change that

Mongolia only turns Russian if Japan attacks a SOVIET-CONTROLLED territory bordering Mongolia, so no.
