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

Dutch New Guinea is friendly neutral and hasn’t been occupied by either Aussie or Japan.  If USA moves into the territory in ncm, do they take ownership?  Just trying to determine if USA can help Aussie get its NO here.

Absolutely Zhukov, as long as both the US and Anzac are at war with Japan.

i was thinking usa couldn’t claim dutch territories?  they can land there but not change ownership was my understanding - at least that’s how tripleA treats suriname when usa walks in from brazil - this may be a tripleA error of course there are MANY.

Right, TripleA is not letting me do it.  If it’s a bug, it should go high up on the bug list.

Seems like it ought to allow USA to claim it unless there is special language in the rulebook indicating that only the Dutch can claim it.

Zhukov, apologies, I believe I am wrong. Thanks for pointing out that Dutch territories are not Friendly Neutrals, Boldfresh.
America can only control them after they have been captured by Japan.

So, no the US cannot capture them for Anzac’s NO.
Again, I am sorry.

The Dutch have an arrangement with UK/ANZ only

ONLY UK/ANZ can take control of Dutch territories in non-combat movement.  The rest of the Allies can only control originally Dutch territories if an Axis power took control at some point first.

Can you fly over strict neutrals during the CM phase.  Ex: bombers from WG attack the cruiser in sz91.  If this has already been answered I would appreciate a link.  Thank you

You can’t fly over any neutrals that have never been attacked before.
Once a neutral is attacked by either side (or claimed, of course, in which case it is no longer neutral) then any powers at war may fly over, and friendly aircraft can land in the neutral.

So this guy is trying to unload 2 units on Korea.

I got a sub on sz 6 and I want to defend against his 1 sub 1 transport unloading 2 guys.

Can I do it?  I told him I can. He do not want to believe me.

I guess he is right. He can choose to ignore your sub.

Not unless you can scramble.

So you do not really need to buy a destroyer to do sea lion, as long as Italy can bomb the airbase. That is kind of weird a u boat would ignore an offloading transport.

If the transports are escorted by a warship then the u boats can be ignored.

Came in late on Cow’s argument about losing planes not landed after his turn was over, just wanted to share an article I wrote on the subject, Cheers.

Well written thanks!

If UK_Pacific lost India and West India, Could UK_Euro collect 2 IPC when taking West India back?

No, MagicQ. Is part of the Pacific economy and (stupidly) not interchangeable.
Would need Anzac or US to take it, so as to claim the IPCs for themselves.

Or Russia!  Like I have recently  :-)

If Russia declares war on Japan, does this affect the relations between Japan and the UK, or ANZAC.  I am confused as the soviets are neutral to begin and not apart of the allies.  The example of our game is as follows.  Russia declares war on japan by moving into china.  Japan attacks UK.  This wasn’t provoked as the allies had already provoked Japan?  The impact being when the US could enter the war.  We were divided on the outcome of this situation, but concluded that Japan did make a unprovoked declaration of war and indeed brought the US to bare.  Thank you for your help.

Yes it was unprovoked.  Russia Dow does not constitute provoking japan.
