the best Sydney strike I have seen is when Japan takes West Aus, lands planes on it next round, and sacks Sydney the round after.

Pro Axis neutrals means countries that are pro axis that have not been activated by an Axis power yet. Meaning, Iraq starts as pro-axis. If Iraq is activated by Germany, Italy or Japan, then it is no longer pro-axis. It is a territory controlled by the Axis power that activated it.
what I wondered was weather Russia could deliberately turn a country pro-axis just to capture it to collect the bonus.

Wouldn’t Russia still collect the NO if taking Iraq from Germany or Italy? I think so.

This is part of why I think it is unlikely, but I guess RAW suggest otherwise.

It applies only to the territories that begin the game “pro-axis”. It would not apply to territories that begin true neutral, even if they switch allegiance later.

rules as written. essentially referring to the specific wording of the rules and not the errata or interpretations, although generally those are backed up convincingly by the wording of the rules.
Whether people refer to “RAW” as OOB specifically or if they include the official Alpha modifications isn’t always clear, although most people appear to have embraced Alpha 3 as the standard at this point, unless noted otherwise.

It applies only to the territories that begin the game “pro-axis”.� It would not apply to territories that begin true neutral, even if they switch allegiance later.
are you sure of this? it does not specify “original pro-axis”, but it does specify original German or Italian territories. one could infer from this that territories that become pro-axis would be included.

yes, I’m sure. The wording means “original german”, “original italian” and “original pro-axis”. By your interpretation of the wording it doesn’t specify original Italian, and that is NOT the case.
“3 IPCs for each original German, Italian, or pro-Axis neutral territory that the Soviet Union controls. Theme: Propaganda value and spread of Communism.”

Yes, as long as it is not an island and is worth 2 ipcs or more.

Yes, as long as it is not an island and is worth 2 ipcs or more. I thought england had 5 AA guns.

is there an alpha 3 set-up where england has 5 AA guns?

There may have been sometime in the past but that setup is no longer current/accurate/official. It has been superseded and the link provided is the absolute in current/accurate/official and is meant to be the OOB rules/setup for the reprint.

is there ever a time when Russia would be allowed to place a complex on Manchuria in alpha 3?

No. Nor in Alpha 2, or OOB. That’s a chinese territory and will always be liberated as chinese.

ok, I just thought that there was a game where Russia did not liberate allied territories, but kept them.
