Mongolia and Neutrals - rules summarized here

Axis invaded neutral Territories and is at war with them.
However; when the US joins the Allies they can’t Blitz through any neutral and friendly neutral Territories, correct?

Example:
South America needs to be taken Territory by Territory.
Or invaded simultaniously.
A Tank can’t  Blitz through Colombia from Central America.

Thanks for clarification Gamerman01.
Allways appreciated.
Thank you.

Nobody invades true neutrals with Axis but Amon`s Wehrmacht  8-)

I’m also wondering what amon’s plan is!

He must have some Aces in his sleeve. 8-)

I have sent my apprentice to crush the true neutrals :D

Can ANZAC turn 1 during non-combat, land in Java with an infantry and aa gun?

yes

@Nexsy:

That is true for any of the Dutch East Indies territories (Java, Sumatra, Celebes) if the ANZAC forces can reach. Not only that, both UK Pacific and ANZAC can also land planes on those territories.

Concerning UK it is not limited to UK Pacific, but applies to UK as a whole, as “All combat moves, combat, and noncombat moves are made or conducted as any other power’s single, united force.” (Rulebook Pacific 1940.2, page 35)

And to complete it: Every allied power (when not neutral) is allowed to bring units there as those territories are friendly territories (if not captured before).
It’s only UK and Anzac that can “take control of Dutch territories (gaining their IPC income) by moving land units into them as a
noncombat movement, as long as they have not yet been captured by an Axis power.” (Rulebook Pacific 1940.2, page  38, 39).

To be clear with regards to Mongolia…

Whether Russia DOW on Japan or Japan DOW on Russia is irrelevant.
Japanese forces attacking a Chinese controlled territory bordering Mongolia (on the south side) reinforced with Russian troops will not trigger Mongolia in either direction.
Russian forces attacking Japan in any territory not bordering Mongolia (and not Korea) won’t trigger Mongolia in either direction.

Correct?

Yes.

@Panther and @gamerman01 If USA controls Korea, and USSR moves the troops there to reinforce it, Russia doesn’t have DOW on Japan to do so? Mongolia would not be affected right?

@Sovietishcat It looks like USSR is not at war - at least on the Pacific side of the map. That means it is still under the restrictions of being a neutral power - at least on the Pacific side of the map. So to be able to reinforce US controlled Korea USSR must leave its neutral status there by DOW on Japan. Reinforcing US controlled Korea would not affect Mongolia, as Russia would not attack Korea.

Rules:
Europe 1940.2, page 37
“As a result, if the Soviet Union is at war with Axis powers on only one map, it is still under the restrictions
of being a neutral power (see “Powers Not at War with One Another,” page 15) on the other map …”

Europe 1940.2, page 15:
“While a power remains neutral, it operates under even tighter restrictions. A neutral power
can’t move land or air units into or through neutral territories. It can’t move units into or through
territories or onto ships belonging to another power or use another power’s naval bases, nor can another
power move land or air units into or through its territories or onto its ships or use its naval bases.”

Europe 1940.2 page 40:
“If the Soviet Union has attacked Korea or any Japanese-controlled territory bordering these Mongolian territories while Mongolia was still a strict neutral, Mongolia will remain neutral and not ally itself with the Soviet Union.”

(‘attacked’ bolded by me)

@Panther thank you very much, I was worried by landing in Korea as reinforcement to USA, it would cancel Mongolia, so as long as I don’t go to Manchuria I should be okay!

I need a confirmation on the following situation:

If the Allied player has an AB in TJ and of course in India and has never activated Eastern Persia,
the rule applies that he cannot fly Air over from TJ to India and vise versia.

Correct??

Page 21 in the rules say so.
Correct?

I am thanking you in advance for the kind and quick answer of my question.

Nevermind, the route can be bypassed.
