There were no changes to the treatment of neutrals in general, but the Soviet-Mongolian Defense Pact was added in the 2nd Edition.

That’s right, the sub can be ignored and so the ships can bombard, unless the defender scrambles something, which brings the sub(s) into the battle and they can’t be ignored
Just to cover all the bases, the sub can then submerge before the fight and effectively decline to enter the fight, mind you.

If ANZAC attacks Japan, does Japan continue to collect 10 IPCs for trade with America? the condition reads “has not made an unprovoked declaration of war on UK/ANZAC”.
-
Yes, Japan still collects
Can’t be at war with USA, did not make unprovoked DOW on UK/ANZ and has not attacked French Indo-China
3 conditions

Thanks

Clarification, please.
1. Does a sub prevent bombardment from cruisers and battleships (no destroyer present) I think attacker can choose to ignore the sub, right?
That’s right, the sub can be ignored and so the ships can bombard, unless the defender scrambles something, which brings the sub(s) into the battle and they can’t be ignored
But, a lone transport cannot make an amphibious assault against a Sub. A surface ship is needed to drive it off.
So,
If the BB and the CA do not drive off the SS, how is the AP able to get past the SS?
If the BB and/or the CA engage the SS, then no bombardment.This seems inconsistent. But if that is the way the rule works, OK

Right, but we’re talking about bombarding ships escorting the transport here, so this is not an issue.
So,
If the BB and the CA do not drive off the SS, how is the AP able to get past the SS?AP is a transport? What do you mean by “drive off”?
With an escort, the sub can still be ignored.
If there is a scramble, then the sub is in the battle and the cruiser and battleship or whatever would have to win the battle for the transport to unload and conduct amphibious assault.If the BB and/or the CA engage the SS, then no bombardment.
That’s right
This seems inconsistent. But if that is the way the rule works, OK
I’m not sure what you’re asking. Let me know what you think about my explanation above - I think it might have answered your question. If not, ask follow up question please

What prevents the SS from engaging the AP(transport)?
The sub stops the transport if is is alone.
If the BB or CA don’t engage the SS why does the SS not stop the transport? -

If the BB or CA don’t engage the SS why does the SS not stop the transport?Now I understand your question.
Subs can be ignored.
An exception to the rule is unescorted transports (sub prevents that combat movement from being made)
However, in this case the transport IS escorted, therefore the exception does not apply and you are back to subs can be ignored.However, if there is a scramble, then there is combat in the seazone and the sub joins in the combat and cannot be ignored (after all, it is not alone - it has defending aircraft with it).
In other words, a warship can always ignore subs unless there is a scramble of aircraft, regardless of whether transports are with it/them or not.

If Russian troops attack an empty Korea during turn 2… does that negate the Mongolian rule?

@Young:

Doesn’t matter if it’s empty, if Russia attacks Korea before Japan attacks Russia, the Mongolians will never join the Russians
Similar to the NO where Japan can’t attack FIC. Empty or not

Thanks, not sure what happened to the sticky thread that explained the Mongolian rule in detail, it was helpful.

Can a sub be ignored during an amphibious assault and still get shore bombardment from the same territory? if so, what would be the circustances required?

Yes. No special circumstances.
But you can’t ignore a sub with an unescorted (no warship) landing. Not 100% sure if a sub escort counts.
-
Simon, sub escort does count
YG, yes you can ignore subs and bombard.

Ok, same with lone transports right, ignore them and get your bombardments?

Yes, that’s definitely true

My BB is damaged.
It is at an undamaged Naval Yard at the end of my turn.
Before my next turn the Naval Yard is damaged.
I pay to remove all counters from my Naval Yard.
Does the BB get repaired the same turn I pay to repair my damaged Naval Yard?
-
I reckon yes.
Repairs take effect immediately,
and the controlling player can use repaired facilities during the rest
of this turn.
