@andrewaagamer thank you Andrew, that is exactly what I needed
-
@andrewaagamer I heard that if Japan attacks the money Islands then the USA is at war with them.
From what i have read in your post that is not true. I do not see that anywhere in your post. I only see that if Japan attacks U.K./ANZAC. So why did someone tell me that if Japan attack anyone; but China then all of the allies are at war with them?
Edit: I was told that if Japan attacked anyone other then China, they all can go to war with Japan. So from what your post says Japan can hit Russia, China, and the money Islands without someone being able to go to war with them. -
@sonjingohan that part is in the United Kingdom political situation paragraph. A Japanese attack on the Dutch East Indies is considered an act of war on the United Kingdom and ANZAC
-
@nishav OK thank you. I can still attack Russia?

China and Russia. But if you attack Amur you activate the Mongolians.
-
@squirecam I knew that. Ty. bro…
-
You can also attack France and not be at war with the US or UK/ANZAC though Japan does lose their $10 NO with the US.
-
@andrewaagamer Kool ty. bro.
-
Technicality: japan can declare war on France, BUT as long as they don’t take FIC, they still get the $10-- assuming still at peace with US
-
This happens when UK/ANZAC makes unprovoked war, and Japan needs to overfly FIC

That is a good point @surfer. In fact you could actually sink the French DD, assuming it came close enough early enough, and still not lose the $10 NO since it only revolves around FIC. Thanks for pointing that out!!!

@shadowhawk No, it’s not right. Please see @AndrewAAGamer reply above.
-
@AndrewAAGamer is correct.
-
Your interpretation is illogical and against the intent of the game. Hence it is invalid.
Many times people have had to interpret what has been written because someone claims its “confusing” or unclear. So you look at the intent behind the rule and look at it logically. Which is where this claimed example falls apart. Its nonsense.
Kriegs answer also qualifies as an official answer or errata as you are ever going to get outside of Larry showing up here.

@shadowhawk
I don’t think you understand, Bud. When Krieghund issues a ruling that is an official ruling and it is final. Regardless of what your opinion is or how you try and spin the rule book, the official ruling has been made. Now it’s time to move on. Argue for the next 10 pages if you have nothing better to do but it will not change the official ruling. -
That sure is a great, new strategy

“So you’re saying that you’re done with your turn.”
“Yes.”
“So the collect income phase of your turn is over, and you’re placing units?..go ahead and place those…”
“YOU FOOL!!! I’ve won without firing a shot–because now the USA must sit idle turn after turn as the axis destroy the other, weaker allies bwahahahaha”

@taamvan lol. We decided to let it play out with his disputed reading of the rule just for the hell of it, with the stipulation we would accept no concession and he had to play it out to the bitter end.
It didn’t end well for him.

Not really, it also means that Japan can never attack UK or Anzac at all. So japan is basicaly limited to annoying china and russia while anzac and UK-Pac just build up and take over the middle east and assist russia
Maybe not. If USA cannot attack any territory that has Japan units then japan flies all its fighters to Europe and lands in german or italian territories. USA cant do anything then. Which is why the theory was dumb in the first place.
-
@squirecam Considering an American transport train can hit any of Rio de Oro, Gibraltar, Normandy, the Low Countries, Denmark, and Norway in one turn, that’s 7 fighters/bombers peeled off to sit those territories.
That strategy would have required Japan to commit multiple planes to sitting on the Atlantic wall, not pressing Russia and not available to defend against a British surprise attack in Asia.
