Mongolia and Neutrals - rules summarized here

[Caesar-Seriona]

No. I need specific breakdown of the rule as if you haven’t notice, there is A LOT of loopholes in the rules.

No need to be impolite.  There is no loophole here - it’s in black and white and very clear and direct.

Did my post above fail to clear things up for you?

It cleared it up, I am just trying to see how abusive one can take with the rules in AnA. As said, loopholes exist in AnA and I wish to exploit them as much as I can however I also want to make sure my enemy can fairly do it. I understood the Mongolia rule before I asked the question but never quested if it works for Germany or Italy. Which is why I wanted to know if Japan could non-combat its way pass Mongolia if it would still trigger it. It may seem strange to ask as if the odds are the western Axis are near Mongolia, the allies are clearly losing, but I still wanted to know encase I ever encounter the Pacific Lion. (or whatever it is called when Germany ignores Moscow to attack India).

Good summary for a new player. Thanks!

Glad to hear it!  Thanks for the feedback.

Axis invaded neutral Territories and is at war with them.
However; when the US joins the Allies they can’t Blitz through any neutral and friendly neutral Territories, correct?

Example:
South America needs to be taken Territory by Territory.
Or invaded simultaniously.
A Tank can’t  Blitz through Colombia from Central America.

[gamerman01]

Correct!  The only neutral that can be blitzed is an unfriendly neutral (that is empty, of course)

[aequitas-et-veritas]

Thanks for clarification Gamerman01.
Allways appreciated.
Thank you.

Nobody invades true neutrals with Axis but Amon`s Wehrmacht  8-)

[simon33]

I’m also wondering what amon’s plan is!

[aequitas-et-veritas]

He must have some Aces in his sleeve. 8-)

[Amon-Sul]

I have sent my apprentice to crush the true neutrals :D

That is true for any of the Dutch East Indies territories (Java, Sumatra, Celebes) if the ANZAC forces can reach. Not only that, both UK Pacific and ANZAC can also land planes on those territories.

Concerning UK it is not limited to UK Pacific, but applies to UK as a whole, as “All combat moves, combat, and noncombat moves are made or conducted as any other power’s single, united force.” (Rulebook Pacific 1940.2, page 35)

And to complete it: Every allied power (when not neutral) is allowed to bring units there as those territories are friendly territories (if not captured before).
It’s only UK and Anzac that can “take control of Dutch territories (gaining their IPC income) by moving land units into them as a
noncombat movement, as long as they have not yet been captured by an Axis power.” (Rulebook Pacific 1940.2, page  38, 39).

To be clear with regards to Mongolia…

Whether Russia DOW on Japan or Japan DOW on Russia is irrelevant.
Japanese forces attacking a Chinese controlled territory bordering Mongolia (on the south side) reinforced with Russian troops will not trigger Mongolia in either direction.
Russian forces attacking Japan in any territory not bordering Mongolia (and not Korea) won’t trigger Mongolia in either direction.

Correct?
