Two ways to look at this:
Reason A is dominant and supersedes and cancels any other Reason. (Which leads to your ruling)
Reason A is limited to the Soviet/Japan conflict and does not override Reason B which leads to my statement.
The first way is correct, as indicated by the phrase, “In all other respects and for all other purposes”.
Ahhh, I didn’t put enough emphasis on “In all other respects and for all other purposes”. That makes more sense to me now.
The tipping point for me is if Reason A is dominant than if any other Allied Power rather than Russia, (US, UK, ANZAC or France), attacks Mongolia, Mongolia WOULD NOT turn Pro-Axis. This goes against every other instance regarding Neutrality in the rules. A standard is if a Neutral is attacked it becomes Pro to the opposing factions.
Yes, that’s true, but Mongolia is an exceptional case. Its ties to the USSR against Japan are so strong that an attack upon it by another Allied power would not change its stance to pro-Axis, and it would remain strict neutral. The same is true if an Allied power attacks another strict neutral.
Wow - that’s cool. THANKS for explaining that!!!
