@Krieghund thanks again. Pretty sure they are going J4 and sealion. Hold on!
Global 2nd edition Q+A ( AAG40.2)

Ok here is a good one for you guys:
Can i attack a fleet with a sub to demonstrate that I have a “chance” of giving my planes a valid landing spot, only to submerge the sub saving it to fight another day in combat.
Yes, I’m pretty sure I remember Krieghund saying you could actually submerge it (to make the flight plan legal).
The only part I can’t remember for sure is if you have to go a round with the sub or if you can submerge it immediately.
-
You have to fight one round.

So I’m facing many enemy controlled territories that were left empty, and I’m about to blitz with 1 tank and 1 mechanized infantry using the combined forces rule. They take the first territory together, but can they split to take 2 more territories separately, or must they end their movement together in the same territory?
-
They have to end their movement together Young Grasshopper, if they start together. They cannot split up to take two more Tts. See page 26 of Pacific.

A question about the Russian-Japan pact. Turn 1 japan attacks Amur thus nullifying the treaty Japan also attacked the Mongolian territory with 2 Inf on it. Can you do this and not trigger the neutral rules since it states that after the Japanese combat movement phase those Mongolian territories place Russian troops there if Amur is attacked?
-
Victory conditions. Say Japan takes their sixth victory city during their turn. Game is won when? At the end of Japans turn or at the beginning of Japans next turn if they still have all six cities?
-
At the end of their next turn.
In the intervening time , they cannot drop down to five VP Cities or they will not win. -

You are correct. Japan can NOT attack Amur and any Mongolian territory in the same turn without making all the true neutrals in the world go pro-Allies

2nd Edition says: Mongolia will only become pro-Axis if attacked by the USSR.
So if the UK attacks Mongolia, Mongolia does nothing? Just sits there even if such an attack flips all the other neutrals?
I looked at the FAQ and I didn’t see a clarification.
-
Karl, I’ve never heard anything different. AFAIK when the rule book says Mongolia will only become pro-Axis if attacked directly by USSR, that’s what it means.
If any other Ally attacks a Mongolian territory, the rest of the Mongolian territories will not go pro-Axis. Because they were friendly to Russia? I don’t know, but that’s how the rule book reads, so unless Krieghund comes on here and says different, than you are correct. If UK attacks Mongolia, the rest of the Mongolian territories will stand pat, and all other strict neutrals in the world will go pro-Axis if that hasn’t happened already.

that is bizarre even if it is the rule

I know
Add it to the list of all the other bizarre rules

Italy DOW Russia and takes E Poland with a tank in I2
Germany moves it’s stack to E Poland without DOW Russians in G3.
Can Russia keep a peace with Germany and attack the Italian tank ignoring German units in E Pol in R3?
If so, and if Russia takes E Pol back sharing the territory with the German units, what rules are applied to German troops in E Pol in G4? Particularly can the E Pol units attack Bel or they have to battle in E Pol or go back to Ger?
Thanks for a help with this one. -
It is only at sea that you can ignore the units of powers with which you are not at war
On land, YOU CAN NEVER ATTACK a territory that contains a single unit of a power with which you are not at war.
In your example, Russia is not allowed to attack East Poland without declaring war on Germany because German units are in East Poland.Note that Triple A does not always properly observe this rule.

UK offload inf from USA transport and attack Germany land. Germany scramble 3 fig. The USA transport is not protected by any attacking force. What’s the result? The scramble stops the amphibious attack or what?

Right. Krieghund has specifically stated that in this situation the UK would be unable to assault unless you have UK surface warships and/or aircraft that can fight the scrambled German fighters.
If you have no UK surface warships or aircraft and Germany scrambles, then the landing is not allowed and no fighting takes place - no units are destroyed. -

Any time, Q!
-
One clarification please.
If axis don’t attack USA in R3, can USA player declare war in his R3 or must he wait til R4?
I thought USA can declare war, but i see in post here that people talk about USA declaring war in R4 so I’m puzzled. -
Crobattalion: the US can declare war in the Collect Income phase of its third turn, not the beginning of its Combat Round, like all other nations do.
This means it cannot do anything agressive in its third turn: the movement restrictions are still in place.
