Well, if you attack Turkey, you have to attack and take Sweden or else your NO no longer applies.  It must remain strict neutral, be pro-axis neutral, or be in Axis hands for the bonus.  So attacking Turkey switches Sweden to pro-allied, negating the NO.

Anyone else up for a game?  i finally have the hang of it now.  lol.  Whackamatt@yahoo.com.

Feel free to start a thread and be the Axis.  If you really want to be the Allies, then let me know and I’ll start.
