13L G40.2 - Omega1759 (allies+9) vs Fortress (axis)

I have a question. How did that American bomber land in Amur when the USSR isn’t at war on the Pacific map? I knew that it could reach, and I would’ve moved the fighters in Korea to cover z6, but Japan never declared war with the USSR and the USSR never declared war with Japan. (If you check out the file you saved at the end of R4, at the beginning of J4, it asks if you want to declare war - so they weren’t at war then and Japan didn’t declare war on J$).

Since you never declared war and I wanted to deny the USA landing spots, I specifically avoided invading Amur, Kazakh, Novo, and Timguska, and avoiding declaring war.

Page 36 of the Pacific rulebook, under Soviet Union-political situation, describes that a state of war with Germany or Italy lifts the restrictions of being a neutral power on the Europe map only. Not being at war, other powers cannot occupy Soviet territories on the Pacific map. Kreighund confirmed this in the FAQ.

^ of course I meant to say the “fighters in Manchuria”, not the “fighters in Korea”

If you want, I can just move the bomber on italy’s turn. Does that change any other moves you had made?

I think it’s weird that I don’t remember ever having two neutrality questions period and now I’ve had two in the same game!

Those transports were a key to defeating amur without losing any planes if you decided to restack there, along with all the planes, obviously, that are within reach.

I was prepared for that. I figured the bomber would be the casualty. Now he gets to look for something else to blow up :)

I considered burning an infantry on Italy’s turn to help that out. Decided I’d rather have one more defender.
