You can’t go to sz6 since Russsia and Japan is at peace.

Well, that’s just not true tho.

[DizzKneeLand33]

USA is in the war, USA is allied with Russia.

[Misterblue]

Going by the rulebook it is. There are a few things Tripla gets wrong like this and flying over neutrals.

[DizzKneeLand33]

But Russia is my ally?!

[Misterblue]

“Due to its separate treaties with Germany and Japan, the Soviet Union is in a unique position in its relationship with
the Axis powers. As a result, if the Soviet Union is at war with Axis powers on only one map, it is still under the
restrictions of being a neutral power (see “Powers Not at War with One Another,” page 15) on the other map”

[DizzKneeLand33]

I’ve not had that questioned in 8 years, so maybe I’m confused? But I don’t think so.

[Misterblue]

That is on page 36 of the rulebook.

[DizzKneeLand33]

Seriously, I’ve never had that ever questioned. It doesn’t even make sense.

[DizzKneeLand33]

OMG seriously, I’m just gonna quit playing this game.

[Misterblue]

It’s a thematic rule. While Japan and Sovjets are at peace they can’t aid the enemy.

[Misterblue]

Sorry you feel that way. :(

[Misterblue]

Anyway I’m off. Have a good evening. :)

[DizzKneeLand33]

What possible sense does this make? And again, I’ve never had it questioned. Ever. So, I’m even MORE confused now. And I’m tired of the legalities I guess.

Tell me how it makes sense I can land in Moscow but not in the soviet far east. Seriously.

Really? Could we resolve this first?

[DizzKneeLand33]

I seriously think you are messing with me.

[Misterblue]

It is resolved. That is the rules. The logic is that when landing in Moscow you aren’t aiding Japans enemy fight Japan.
