Cold war

@Logic:

So if the US flies a plane to France. Germany can not attack France without declaring war on the US?

The US (starting neutral) can’t land a plane in France while being neutral.
So the answer to your question is ‘yes’ in case

US is at war with Italy (thus belonging to the Allies) and US is still neutral to Germany and France of course is still French

HTH :-)

Thanks all. No wonder we couldn’t figure out which scenario was right.

Hi ColonelCarter,

Thanks so much for your reply. I will tell a bit about the background of my question. We played Axis and Allies 1940 Europa a number of times, in the beginning the Axis player could still surprise the Allies player with a new strategy now and then, but at the end we had a ‘solution’ for every Axis strategy, and the Allies always won. So, we were looking for ways making the game a little more balanced, and as a result we wondered whether Russia and USA actually have a turn before they are at war. But after reading your response, I must admit that there still Axis strategies to try and hopefully our games with become a little more exciting:)

If I understand your question, you would like to have distinct replies to each point somebody made in a statement.  Since everything in between the [qu0te][/qu0te] tags is going to show up in a box, if you want something like this-

[qu0te]My comment #1[/qu0te]
Your answer #1

[qu0te]My comment #2[/qu0te]
Your answer #2

-what I end up doing is copying the entire comment block, and pasting it into my reply once for each individual point I am going to reply to.  Then I just delete out the extraneous bits from each section.  This seems faster to me than going in and adding the extra [qu0te][/qu0te] tags in the original text to make room for your comments.

1. Yes, the US can’t make combat moves or move next to Europe/Africa on its 3rd turn

2. Other than the US, all DOWs are at the beginning of the combat move phase

No, it may not.

Dear god, ……

Blasphemy!

It seems to me WOTC didn’t take into account a free India, a possible repeat of the Bolshevik Revolution in WW1 or NAFTA.  Why are you just limited to having the same countries throughout the game?  Where’s the army for the Vatican?  Why is Somalia worth 1 IPC as opposed to being a unique “-3” territory?  Such a waste of $100, where do I get my refund?
