    @techroll42:

    There are many many ways to do that without being stupidly complex.

    Not to mention the fact that having Mongolia as some kind of Neutral (or impassible like previous games) creates a barrier that makes fighting in the east interesting.  When it converts to Russian, that whole place is just one giant block of territories, which is far less interesting and allows for far fewer strategies etc.


  • Agree the Mongolian rules are too complex, but doesn’t the giant block of territories actually make it a lot MORE interesting, with more strategies?


  • I’d agree…

    I have no problem with the Mongolian rules, its all the wierd Submarine situations that are hard to keep track of.


  • I have a question!

    If I attack Mogolia the same turn I attack Amur, do all the strict neutrals on the Europe board become pro allies? Cuz that would SUCK.

  • '17

    If Japan turns Mongolia Soviet, it happens at the end of their combat move phase.

    So if you plan to attack Mongolia in the same turn, it is still a strict neutral while you’re attacking it and so it will turn all other strict neutrals to pro-allies.


  • The built in AA of IC’s can fire once at each Bomber, right? No matter how many? They are not limited to the three shots max.

  • Official Q&A

    Correct.


  • If you have NO’s that you are still achieving, or War Bonds, can you collect the income from that? I’m almost certain the answer is is no, but just to be sure.

    You mean without your capital? 
    “The player skips all but the Combat move, Conduct Combat, and Noncombat Move phases until the capital is liberated.” Page 20 of Europe manual.

    If you’re skipping the collect income phase, then you are not collecting ANY kind of income.


  • Yep, that’s what I thought.


  • does USA collect all the extra IPCs from its NOs on turn 3? (assuming no early DOWs)

    just need clarification for some well mannered table arguing lol


  • @Uncrustable:

    Yes.  The US can declare war at the beginning of the collect income phase.  Thus, it collects ipcs from national objectives requiring a state of war at the end of the collect income phase.


  • I think this was covered, does it matter if its a3 or a2? Can an armor blitz through a minor factory and then continue if the territory is empty of ground units? Example, blitz through southern Ukraine into northern Ukraine?

    All units stop blitz, including AA or factories.


  • Assuming Russia is in war with Germany… In case Russia attacks the following three Ula, Cmo and Tsa in the same turn.
    Will Russia collect bonus for two of them?
    Or should Russia attack only one and then next turn attack the pro-axis Mongolia in order to collect the bonus.
    The question is when will Mongolia turn pro-axis?

    Item 1:
    Russia must be at war with JAPAN in order to attack anything on the Pacific Board.  Now, there’s nothing that would specifically prevent Russia from declaring war on Japan, but the state of war with Germany has absolutely nothing to do with Russian diplomatic relations on the Pacific boards.

    Item 2:
    Mongolian territories may flip to be pro Axis, but I’m HIGHLY dubious that they are considered “proaxis” by the national objective.  The intent of that rule is that only territories that started the game as proaxis and are labeled specifically as proaxis count as territories that provide Russia with bonus income.  Like Sweden et all, Mongolian territories are considered “strict neutral” territories, with special rules.

    If however, I’m wrong, you would need to attack the next group of “pro axis territories” on subsequent turns as they are considered strict neutral the turn you initiate the first attack.  But I don’t think I’m wrong.  They aren’t pro axis per the intent of that objective, even if Russia attacks one to flip them.

  • Official Q&A

    You’re not wrong.  The USSR NO applies only to original German, Italian, and pro-Axis territories.


  • Question concerning coastal bombardment: if I would attack with 4 loaded transports and 10 cruisers, how many dice would I get to roll? 4 because I have 4 Units amph. assaulting the TT, or 2 because 2 transports?
    Thanks.
