Japan DOW on US

[Bjn]

Sure it is here somewhere but I can’t find it.

Will a Japanese Dow/attack on the US automatically bring UK/ANZAC into the war, even though latter territories/units are not attacked?

Thanks

The US is one of the the powers we need to declare War to them as Axis untill round 4.
However, UK and Anzak may DOW whenever they want to.

No, but if you attack USA, there is every reason to also attack UK/ANZAC and no reason to keep peace.

There is no such consequence in the rules.

Thank You. That’s what I thought, but there is every reason to attack UK as well, clearly😊

Not necessarily.  If I do t like my US compatriot, and Japan is happy to let me build up, I might be inclined to enjoy a continued peace! :)

Any war against the USA will get nowhere fast without the Money Islands. Therefore, attacking UK/ANZAC is an absolute must, so that you can rake in that badly needed +20 IPCs.
