    @DeadTom:

    I guess my questions aren’t cleared up yet� :|

    @MagicQ:

    c) You CAN fly over a neutral that has been attacked previously, because it is actually no longer a neutral even if it was not conquered.� It has joined the opposing side.� You can do this in the non-combat move immediately following the attack.

    Sounds like if I attack Afganistan with USA fig in moscow, then UK air can fly over no matter what.

    Absolutely correct as it relates to any neutral which has actually been attacked on any prior turn by any power.

    @DeadTom:

    To clarify, I’m asking if a neutral does indeed join the axis side immediately if it is attacked by the allies.

    in this case Afghanistan immediately becomes friendly to the axis but does not become axis controlled until an axis land unit walks in.

    All unattached neutrals change to proaxis neutral status and all that entails.

    Friendly is NOT neutral.

    Axis controlled
    Friendly to axis
    Pro axis neutral
    True neutral


  • Oh, I see. I didn’t get the distinction between friendly and pro-axis neutral. The rule book calls them friendly neutrals, so I got confused  :oops:

    Yes bad wording by rulebook.

    I think they rulebook tried to use the word ‘friendly’ as shorthand for ‘proaxis or Pro allied’.  :|

    I think that the term “friendly” is used in the same context as the Dutch territories are to UK Pacific and ANZAC.  You can land a “friendly” plane there, but you don’t actually take the territory until you place a land unit in it.

  • '12

    The only distinctions btw friendly and pro are that aircraft can land in friendly and aircraft can fly over friendly without restriction.


  • Good explanations, I will add supplementary explanations.

    Friendly means the territory has joined the alliance (is part of the Axis or the Allies) and is no longer neutral.  Therefore planes can land there and planes from both sides can fly over.

    “Pro-Axis” or “Pro-Allies” means it is still neutral.  Territories remain pro-axis or pro-allies until they are activated/claimed OR attacked at which time they become friendly to one of the sides (even if attacked and no infantry are lost).

    There is no such thing as declaring war on the neutrals, so if you click declare war on neutrals in Triple A but then don’t actually attack one, then you actually haven’t done anything and no territories will change.

    One final clarification… triplea doesn’t handle the neutrals correctly in almost every regard so beware.


  • Yeah you already said that  :-)

    don’t think i can stress it enough.  reading your post, one might think tripleA could possibly be trusted in come cases to do something right…  :wink:

    “There is no such thing as declaring war on the neutrals, so if you click declare war on neutrals in Triple A but then don’t actually attack one, then you actually haven’t done anything and no territories will change.”

    This is the sentence i was referring to.  Not sure how each and every person would interpret this so wanted to reiterate that no matter what tripleA does, do not trust it to do anything correctly when it comes to the neutrals.

    Imho you are dramatizing the issue.

    Most of the time it doesn’t affect your plane paths at all. Only very few cases (like India -> TRJ) are really important.

    Other than that, I have not needed to edit anything so far.

    roboto:  what does that mean dramatizing the issue?

  • '19 '18

    It appears you have to be super careful whenever you are doing something with neutrals - attacking them, flying over them, walking into them…

    In my experience you almost never have to give them special treatment.


  • You might be breaking rules without knowing it, too, Roboto  :lol:

    Bold - I said nothing that could be interpreted to say that you can rely on TripleA in any way, in fact, the phrase you quoted was yet another way of me saying TripleA is wrong.

    Roboto - it is very important to understand the neutral rules and to be watching for violations.  It is extremely major sometimes, and India-TrJ is not what I’m referring to…. More like India-Moscow, or attacking Turkey or Spain and then fly off somewhere else, etc.  It is a major enough issue that there should be no argument about whether it is important to understand the rules clearly.  It is important.

    Gamer I knew what you meant just wast sure others would so wanted to give one more disclaimer to tripleA, which we all of course love.  Some of us just wish the developers understood the rules and some of the nuances of the game a little better.


  • I thought I needed to get in 8 games before the season ended. I will do.
    Would someone explain why I thought this was the necessary number and for what exactly?
    Thank you.
    And I am not drunk!
