Our games seem to run at an incredibly slow pace; usually 10-12 hours for 6-8 turns.
Does anyone have suggestions on how to fairly and reasonably implement some sort of turn timers?
There are some other ideas how to speed up the game in the House rule section of this board:

Just to list some, there are probably more…
If the USA took Korea from Japan, would Mongolia be Negated ( as if Russia took Korea )?
If the UK P came up to support China and had a battle along the Mongolian boarder against Japan in say Suiyuyan, is Mongolia triggered to be Negated?
If The UK or USA was to attack Mongolia, would this make Mongolia turn Pro Axis along with the rest of the Europe board?
Can all of the above never happen because the Mongolian rule is only activated what happens between Japan and Russia?..…Thanks!

1. No
2. No
3. Yes.
4. The Mongolia rule is essentially a special thing between Russia and China, yes. With the exception being, if Mongolia is directly attacked, as per your question 3.
Speed of play can be greatly increased with some magnetic carriers as well. Saves us a least an hour over of dinking around with the planes.

No to #3):
Rulebook says:
@rulebook:
…The Mongolian territories (Olgiy, Dzavhan, Tsagaan-Olom, Central Mongolia, Ulaanbaatar, and
Buyant-Uhaa) will never become pro-Axis unless one or more of them is attacked by the Soviet Union.
…
So if UK or USA attacked Mongolia, this would result in all strict neutrals becoming Pro-Axis, except Mongolia itself.

Yes, which is all summarized in this stickied thread
Necessary because yes, the Mongolia rules are that complicated
P@nther is one of the few who knows them all :-)
YG, if you weren’t already familiar with this summary I did awhile back (all checked by Krieghund), I think you definitely need to click this link and save it for your many G40 gamers
I also summarized neutrals rules and Dutch stuff
Sorry YG. You understood and I did not .
I won’t answer any more queries. I got cocky; has been a while since I read the rules cover to cover or even checked things.
My Apologies.
Nonsense
That is a very obscure rule and a misinterpretation/misrecollection on that one is very understandable
With a 99% success rate, you should keep helping out here
I cannot agree more!
Sorry for agitating everyone, Wittmann… you’re free to answer any question of mine, you do a great job. I uploaded this video recently and I think it’s accurate, but you never know with the Mongolian rule.

My reading is that the individual attacked territory would become pro-axis if the attack fails but not the rest of Mongolia.
I guess pretty unlikely.
You’re right, Simon
From my Mongolia summary, which is in a stickied G40 thread here:
i) Any OTHER Ally can attack Mongolia directly and this will break neutrality around the world, but the rest of Mongolia will stay neutral
Again, folks, please read the Mongolia/Neutrals summary on this stickied thread - it answers all the questions I’ve ever seen on these confusing topics

There is even a post with Dutch territory explanations as well - post #2
Question: Can you blitz unfriendly neutrals?
Yes, you can, Mill Creek.
Need clarification on an attack/retreat question.
I attacked a territory with 2 inf art, and get 1 hit. The opponent’s territory had 1 inf, 1 aa gun.
If my opponent chooses the inf as the casualty, can I then retreat back to where I came from before the next round or is the combat already over?

Combat is over, as the AAgun is immediately autodestroyed (- an AAA unit cannot fire in the defending units fire step). So there is no retreat option.
HTH :-)
Thanks. I ran a search and it seems Krieghund ruled on this like 2 years ago.
Definitely an important bug for TripleA to fix as it will come up again.

You are right, I was not aware that it had not been in the game notes. I have added an issue to the map repository at Github.
Thank you for bringing it up.

I don’t know why this one is particularly important. The sub combat bugs are probably the most important but not an easy fix.
I’d rather fix some of the UI limitations to be honest.
Hello
I have a question for clarification:
Is Japan able to occupy Dutch East Indies without a dow on England?
Is Japan able to DoW on France in Indu-China without DoW on England too?
