@Amon-Sul I think the Mongolians only ally themselves with Soviets if they are at war with Japan :D :D

@Amon-Sul Soviet-Mongolian Defense Pact: Due to their mutual border conflict with Japan in 1939, the Soviet Union and Mongolia have a special relationship. The Mongolian territories (Olgiy, Dzavhan, Tsagaan-Olom, Central Mongolia, Ulaanbaatar, and Buyant-Uhaa) will never become pro-Axis unless one or more of them is attacked by the Soviet Union. Also, if Japan attacks any Soviet-controlled territory that is adjacent to any Mongolian territory, all Mongolian territories that are still strict neutral or pro-Allies, or have joined the Allies as a result of a failed Japanese attack, are placed under the control of the Soviet Union at the end of Japan’s Conduct Combat phase. This is done in the same manner as though the Soviet Union had moved land units into a friendly neutral territory (see “Friendly Neutrals,” page 10). These territories have Soviet control markers placed on them, and their standing army units are placed on the board using Soviet pieces and are controlled by the Soviet Union player from then on. This occurs regardless of the state of relations between the Soviet Union and Japan at the time of the attack, with one exception: If the Soviet Union attacks Korea or any Japan-controlled territory bordering these Mongolian territories while Mongolia is still a strict neutral, Mongolia will remain neutral and not ally itself with the Soviet Union.

Think it is as usual, that they will become Soviet if Japan attacks any bordering territory only.

@Amon-Sul I will not, but have not seen it. I can understand how it might be beneficial :)

@wizmark Can’t seem to take Algeria hehe. 3rd turn in a row.

@Amon-Sul Haha yes very :)

@Amon-Sul I think I needed to be at war in the Pacific theatre. Maybe @wheatbeer can confirm? All other allies could pick them up as soon as you declared war on the neutrals.

@wizmark another crazy round dice-wise for the Axis. I did not ask about scrambles at Midway or the SZ due to near 100% odds. Neither in Burma. Hope I didn’t overstep and assumed incorrect.

@Amon-Sul and @wheatbeer Thanks wheatbeer and yes very unusual and interesting game :)

Will look at it soon I hope. Have three other league games running too.

@Amon-Sul Haha Sweden! Maybe I need to punish the dudes in Yugoslavia a bit extra now ;)

@Amon-Sul Happy new year to you too! I am very much looking forward to this game, don’t think otherwise it is just that I have three very intense games running which are all undecided right now. That is the only reason why I have not played for a while I thought since we just started and that this is for L21 you would not mind :)

With that said I will really try and play tomorrow!

Cheers!

@andrewaagamer As a more experienced player, how could we have further strengthened Moscow? I totally agree regarding the neutral crush.

@andrewaagamer thanks for your comments. I agree with most of them. We also did some additional errors a long the way and failed at a couple of crucial attacks, such as Leningrad but these might not have mattered after an early loss of Moscow.

@amon-sul Oh right! I will do that instead until the issue is fixed :)

@pejon_88 Finally! Sorry about that.

@pejon_88 You got me on the convoy too :)

@wizmark Haha yeah :) but I was expecting that. Italians were never any good in Africa (if you look at the real war): ;)

@pejon_88 I guess it only would work as in our case, that Germany declares war.

@amon-sul I think the Axis have been very successful so far. Great playing!

@ksmckay Oh cool!

@amon-sul I believe so according to the rule: …During your Combat Move phase in which you entered into a state of war, your transports that are already in sea zones that have just become hostile may be loaded in those sea zones (but not in other hostile sea zones). In effect, transports may be loaded in their initial sea zones for amphibious assaults before war is declared, while the sea zone is still friendly.
