You also kept USA frozen in the Atlantic, and the 2 planes from the carrier could not go to London. And more.
Again, USA cannot be at war until the very end of USA3 (to collect the NO’s) unless one of the Axis powers declares war on the USA. So you played it right.
Not only can you hit the UK/ANZAC boats on J3, you also keep the USA from moving like she’s at war, and USA can only build 3 units per complex on USA3.
-
I hoped it too because makes no scense if Japan declares no war to USA but USA can declare war at the beginning of R3.
-
Oh whoops. I forgot something. Triple A is right. I was looking at Europe only rules, not the combined world rules.
USA can declare war on any or all Axis powers if Japan makes an unprovoked attack on UK/ANZAC, which is what you did.
You can only keep USA out of the war and attack UK/ANZAC if UK/ANZAC provokes Japan by declaring war on Japan.
I’ve been speaking wrong this whole time - I am too rusty. Let’s not go back to USA3, we can leave it as I played it. USA could have gone to war at beginning of USA3 because Japan attacked UK/ANZAC without being provoked (UK/ANZAC never declared war on Japan) but I am willing to let it stand, especially because I didn’t catch it. I even thought Triple A was wrong. Embarrassing.

Page 37 of the Europe rulebook:
“The United States may not declare war on any Axis power
unless an Axis power either declares war on it first or captures London or any territory in North America, or Japan
makes an unprovoked declaration of war against the UK or ANZAC, after which it may declare war on any or all Axis
powers on its following turn.”Your move still allowed you to single out and attack UK and ANZAC ships and the USA could not defend with them.
This is why I rarely see a J DOW on UK/ANZ and not the USA - because you can’t attack the Philipines or Guam or any other USA territory or unit, and the only advantage it gives you is that you can pick off ANZ and UK ships that would otherwise be protected by USA ships and planes, which is what you did.Again, I’d rather not go back especially because of your lousy Italy dice, so game on with G4
-
And thanks for thoroughly discussing this with me. Maybe I won’t get confused about this rule for awhile.
-
No problem. if you want you can start with USA R3 again. Better to destroy my ac and fig and attack Germany one round earlier. The Italian bomber is not really important.
-
If Italian bomber and tank have at least 1 hit, there was good possibility to destroy russian fighters and make Novgorod free.

That’s one of the reasons I won’t ask for a re-do. That and I should have known the rules, but thanks for your sportsmanship. I’ll let the Japs get away.
-
I may have caused a problem going local - it looks like the password and our e-mail addresses, etc are missing. I can just re-do the FRANZAC turn and post again
-
-
Thats good. Than we have a fair game. Okay my italian Bomber is still alive but normally he will be destroyed in the next rounds and italians never buy it back.

I’m sorry, I see I wasn’t very clear here. I thought not going back to USA3 also meant that I3 would stand as played, and that it’s time for G4.
If you want to re-do I3, then I want to re-do from US3, which I think is fair.
Do you want to continue with G4, where your Italian turn stands as played, or do you want to go back to USA3? Or do you have another proposal? I’m willing to talk and reason if you don’t like either of these 2 options. Sorry I screwed up the USA turn and thought it was a Triple A error.
So if we continue to G4, the USA is disadvantaged by not being at war, and Italy has poor dice. Or if we go back to USA3, then the USA can move freely as according to the rules, and you can re-do Italy’s turn then. Which do you want?
-
Please start USA3 because its fair, You declare war and destroy jap. ac. and attack G. So the game continues like nothing happens and we play with right rules.
-
Agreed, that was easy, thank you
-
I’ve got a problem. I am trying to fix things with Triple A and I just uninstalled and re-installed it. Now I don’t have the password. Do you know it? I’ll ask Martin if he has it.
-
The Forum Password ?
-
Yes, exactly. Any chance you know it?
Man this password thing is irritating.
Thanks! I did message Martin just in case.

I’m going to sleep now, so I won’t respond for at least 7 hours

Good night and sleep well.
