Regarding SZ 110, I got hosed one time on a UK scramble. Usually as Germany, I send 3 fighters, 3 Stukas, 1 bombers and sometimes 1 sub to SZ 110. Our UK player had gotten in the habit of not scrambling in order to save the RAF for future action.
Well, this one game I made the mistake of just assuming UK would not scramble. I sent 2 fighters, 2 Stukas and 1 bomber to SZ 110. The other fighter and Stuka I sent to kill the French fleet in SZ 93. Well, UK taught me a lesson. They scrambled and wiped out my planes. I didn’t even kill all the ships in the channel.
Never made that mistake again.

Where can I find the correct set up for the Nuetrals? Minor Threats cards are awesome but I don’t see anything for the Nuetrals. Weren’t some of the infantry in S America increased from 2 to 4?

None of the infantry numbers have ever changed, so it’s still what’s printed on the game board map. If you don’t own the game, then download this ABattlemap which is the correct Alpha3 setup.
Wait - I’m on my kid’s login so I need to switch users first to upload it for you…

This is the correct Alpha3 startup, including neutral armies

Ah, ok. Not sure where my idea came from. I thought OOB had 2 inf in Argentina. Thanks.

Suppose China has a large force of infantry in Szechwan and a fighter in Burma. Can they strafe Japanese forces in Yunnan and retreat to Burma? I believe they can, but I just want to be sure there aren’t any rules peculiar to the Chinese in Burma.

NO, unless there is at least one infantry starting in Burma.
Retreats must be back to where a GROUND (or naval) unit came from. Air doesn’t count for retreat paths.
Nothing to do with China or Burma rules. Everything to do with normal retreat rules. :-)

If the Allies declare war on true neutrals, and Russia/Japan haven’t yet “activated” Mongolia……does Mongolia remain neutral or does it become an Axis-friendly neutral?

Remains neutral
“The Mongolian territories will never become pro-Axis unless one or more of them is attacked by the Soviet Union”Last sentence in Alpha3 Mongolia rules

This one may have been asked 1000 times already, but I am confused about Air units and friendly Neutrals.
Germany’s first turn. They Noncombat into Finland with 1 infantry. Can they land a fighter there?
Looking at the Europe Rulebook, p. 21:
“Air units can land in any territory that was friendly at the start of your turn.”
“No air units can land in any territory that was hostile at the start of your turn, including any territory that was just captured by you this turn.”Looking on pages 10-11, I see mention of capturing an UNfriendly neutral, but moving into a friendly neutral happens in noncombat, and nowhere is such movement called “capturing.”
Maybe friendly neutrals don’t count as friendly (there have been worse confusions in game rules), but I don’t see friendly neutrals as falling under “hostile,” and moving into them doesn’t seem like nor is it labeled as “capturing.” Anyways, any clarification would be great. Overall it’s a pretty good rulebook.

A friendly neutral is a neutral territory. It is not a friendly territory - it’s just going to switch control without a fight.
And any territory that didn’t begin your turn friendly isn’t a valid landing space. And that includes any neutrals, which while not hostile, are not friendly either, and have additional restrictions for movement but that includes the fact that they’re not legal landing spaces the turn you gain control of them.
So no. Germany cannot land air units in Finland on the turn they gain control of Finland.

Can the Chinese fighter land in Burma? Thought only Chinese ground units could( not land obviously!)
Thank you. -

Thank you.Yes, the fighter can land in Burma or Kwangtung (Hong Kong)
Any Chinese units may move into (or land in) Burma or Kwangtung (Hong Kong) -
Thank you. Was at work without the rules(!) and that earlier question vexed me.

My mistake: I checked the rules and they are quite clear.

Can a transport with 2 inf on it choose to only offload 1 inf to take or attack a territory?
-
sure.
-
The Europe rulebook is indecisive in their wording about it, while the pacific rulebook says you must offload everything.
Thing is I have units from anzac on an american transport so we want to unload 1 unit only… which I thought was legit… till it got questioned.
