@kcdzim:
Also: the US is not immediately brought into the war by the unprovoked attack on uk/Anzac. It remains neutral until the US turn when the US can finally declare war.
Yes, that’s why I said “the USA can then declare war”. Declarations of war only happen at the beginning of your own turn.
War is only immediate when an enemy declares war on you directly. When conditions are met, you always wait until your turn to declare war, like Russia on Euro-Axis or Japan making an attack on UK or ANZ.
You say “finally”, but USA goes immediately after Japan. We’re not playing the original anymore…
