@Young:
Well ANZAC, France, and the UK can land on them because they are at war with Germany (same as Dutch)
Right
, so Russia and America would have to be at war with Germany to do the same move.
I think so
I included this because if Russia is at war with Japan but not Germany, they couldn’t land a plane on the Dutch Islands …. right?
Right, UNLESS
For Japan to attack a Dutch territory, they must declare war on UK/ANZ according to the rulebook.
So if Japan is at war with UK/ANZ, then I THINK they are always at war with the Dutch, in which case Russia could land on Dutch territories too (because Russia is at war with Japan, as you said)
In other words:
Russia can land on DEI if:
- Russia and Japan are at war
and
- Japan and UK/ANZ are at war
or
2a) Russia and Germany are at war
Russia must be at war with Japan to move out of Russian territories on the Pacific half of the board
Russia must have a common enemy with the Dutch. This could be Germany or Japan. I think Japan is at war with the Dutch if Japan is at war with the UK.
