@meyott Hey there! I havenât been able to bust the game out in a while, so Iâm maybe a bit rusty here, but I believe these should answer your questions.
When Greek Alignment happens would depend on at what point in the game Turkey is Aligned too. If the Axis win Influence over Greece before theyâre at war with anyone, then Turkey would not be Aligned with the Axis just yet, and so Greece would not be able to become Aligned with the Allies right away. If the Axis was at war with the Allies, then Greece would become Allied Aligned immediately.Thereâs seemingly a bit of contradiction between the Turkey At War Expansion rules, and the Turkey Reference sheet though.
The Reference Sheet states that âIf Turkey becomes Axis Aligned (i.e. its at war with the Same Major Power as Germany Japan or Italy), Greece will immediately become Allied Alignedâ.
The Expansion rules at 1.5© and 1.6 state:
â1.5© Declaration of War: Even if Turkey becomes Aligned to a Major Power an independent run Turkey is not forced to declare war and can remain neutral until it wishes to. Other nations can declare war on Turkey as per Global War Rulesâ;
â1.6 Greece: If Turkey becomes Axis Aligned, Greece will immediately become Allied Alignedâ.
So to me, the Reference sheet is saying that Greece becomes Aligned with the Allies when Turkey is at war with the same Major power as the Axis, but the Expansion rules at 1.6 just say Greece becomes Allied Aligned the moment Turkey becomes Axis Aligned, seemingly regardless of Turkeyâs belligerent status.
I know thatâs not me really answering the question, haha. Weâve played based on what the Expansion Rules say though and not the Reference sheet, meaning that once Turkey becomes Axis Aligned, Greece will become Allied Aligned, regardless of Turkish war status.
Good point on Home Country here. I guess Iâd refer to the rulebook for âHome Countryâ:âEach nation has a group of land zones that comprise their Home Country as defined on the National Reference Sheet. For a Minor Power the Home Country includes the primary nation but not its colonies, islands or conquered land zonesâ.
