In his history of the war Churchill expresses regret that operation Jupiter, the liberation of Norway, never was carried out.  The Brits would never have invaded Sweden.

The Belgians did not always cooperate, for instance they refused to give the Americans Uranium mined from the Congo.

You do not need industrial complexes two.

It would be an act of war against Russia but not the US.

The problem being there is no belgium.

The Russian Navy can serve as escorts. Lend lease convoys can be multinational.  They still would move together.

It is NOT an act of war.
From tigerman,“Why not have a more realistic lend/lease.  Load up transports and escort them across the oceans and deliver money, units, supplies…etc.  During lend lease phase load transports with money and escort them…maybe 6-8 movement…Each transport can carry 10 IPCs. This would slow the lend lease down some and would make the intervention more realistic.  Of course if a transport is sunk the cargo is lost!! A US lend lease convoy that is attacked would not bring the US into the War early.”
This is the thread. http://www.axisandallies.org/forums/index.php?topic=34656.15

The rules say the western allies may not invade strict neutrals. There is no mention of Congo becoming pro-allied.

Yes. My understanding is that an axis power that is at war with a lend lease receiver but not the US can attack lend-lease convoys.

I don’t think so. In our games the soviets always send a mech down to claim all the middle eastern and African neutrals.

If you play with the optional air-transport rules in 7.2 are there any setup additions/changes you should make?

@Dafyd:

I just read the rules that you were talking about and though the other cities/territorries mentioned all have industrial complexes, I believe that the rules imply that the ship yard is the complex.  It only builds ships but that the ship yard is the complex while a naval base is strictly a launching/supply facility.  Marseilles nor Leningrad have the territorial value to support a major complex so I would imagine that the intent of the rule is to consider the shipyard as a minor industrial complex and thus limiting the number of units produced.  I don’t see the reasoning in having the home nations have to build an I/C in order to make the shipyard worth anything.  Though the Soviets could build an I/C in Leningrad, the Germans nor Italians could build in occupied southern France. 
The question I have about the rule is, do you build only in shipyards as the rule implies and if so, what ablout the ANZACs, FEC, Canadians, and South Africans?  The get the game play behind the rule but it is a little vague the way it is written.  You may have to clarify it for your own play.

Ship yards are for capital ships. Industrial complex plus naval base can still build small ships. They can build shipyards to build capitol ships.

no, there belgian

For whatever reason BBG still doesn’t have them up. Could you put a link to them here?

Tigerman, can you put a link to the rules on this tread?

Has anyone found the rules on BGG?

It is FEC.

Any News on the release?

The only time I have put of Paris was not attacking the west at all. If that is the case, can the US attack Germany from French territory if France is only at war with Japan?

The rules don’t limit it to one time so I assume it can happen twice.
