@Eggman:
Looking over the rules again, this seems like it should still be disallowed because Dutch-controlled territories are not considered friendly territories under the definition given in the rules as
controlled by you or a friendly power (the Dutch are not defined as a power).
The point of me bringing this up is that if the developers want this move allowed, it is more than just a 1-line fix to the ruleset.
Say Russia is at war with Japan, but not Italy and Germany. If somehow Germany or Italy got a plane into a Japanese territory and Russia wants to attack that territory what would they do with the German/Italian aircraft?
Russia CAN’T attack that territory unless she declares war on Germany/Italy.
If it’s not round 4 yet and Russia is not already at war with Germany/Italy, then Russia can’t make this declaration of war, which means it is impossible for Russia to attack this territory.
It is only at sea that you can ignore the units of powers with which you are not yet at war.
On land, you are not allowed to attack unless you are at war with all of the powers owning units in that territory.
Rulebook says:
“A power can’t attack a territory controlled by or containing units belonging to a power with which it is not at war.”
And doing some more thinking, since the only references to the Dutch in the Europe `40 rule come under the discussion on the Global variant, that would imply that Suriname is completely impassable to all the Allies until taken by the Axis if you are playing Europe as a stand-alone.
If you are playing Global or Pacific, France, Russia, and the US would be prohibited from ever moving into Dutch-controlled territories under the thesis that the Dutch are not listed in the definition of countries that are powers, which means they are not considered friendly territory.
Before Russia is in the war, can it move the cruiser and sub from sz 115?
Welcome to Axis and Allies.org, Trooper!
Yes, Russia is free to move the cruiser and sub to Zones 114 or 113, and can even move to Z112 if they obtain permission from the Germans! Or if the Allies have taken control of Denmark.
Note also that German ships do not block the Russian ship movement at all, because they are not at war with each other.
I thought so, but I wasn’t sure. Thanks Gamerman01.
Any time, you’re welcome
I have another question. It is round 2 and Russia is not at war. Russia moves sub from sz 127 to sz 112. On UK’s turn they move a lone destroyer to sz 112. Germany has their navy in sz 113. UK hasn’t any navy in the Atlantic, other than the lone destroyer. My question is, can Germany just attack the UK destroyer and not upset the Russian neutrality?

Yes, Germany can attack the UK destroyer and ignore the Russian sub.
At sea, you can ignore units of powers with which you are not at war, and you can attack units in the same sea zones belonging to powers with whom you are at war.
It’s on land that you must declare war on all powers that have units in the territory you are attacking.
Thanks again!!
Question about the NO’s for global -
Does the US get the 25 IPC bonus when they are at war? or is that just in the European version?
Thanks!

It’s different in Global.
@rulebook:
National Objective and Bonus Income: The objective of the United States is to become “the Arsenal of Democracy” and defeat the Axis powers. To reflect this objective, the United States collects bonus IPC income during each of its Collect Income phases in the following situations:
When the United States Is at War:
- 10 IPCs if the United States controls all of the following territories: Eastern United States, Central United States, and Western United States. Theme: Basic national sovereignty.
- 5 IPCs if the United States controls all of the following territories: Alaska, Aleutian Islands, Hawaiian Islands, Johnston Island, and Line Islands. Theme: National sovereignty issues.
- 5 IPCs if the United States controls all of the following territories: Mexico, South Eastern Mexico, Central America, and West Indies. Theme: Defense treaty and trade obligations.
- 5 IPCs if the United States controls Philippines. Theme: Center of American influence in Asia.
- 5 IPCs if there is at least 1 United States land unit in the territory France. Theme: Great Alliance collaboration
Thanks!
I just wanted to make sure!
Welcome to the boards, Aaron - feel free to ask your rules questions here any time you have any doubts or wonderings.
Thanks Gamerman,
I have been a long time reader - but I just recently signed up. I’m glad to be here. Everyone I have encountered so far has been very helpful. :-D

Great to hear.
This may have been asked, but would like clarification on kamikaze rules. It was my understanding that an amphibious assault IN one of the designated sea zones could trigger an attack IF there were eligible unit involved in an attack on units in that zone or an amphibious assault was occurring IN that sea zone. Using tripleA, noticed that sending a transport from z35 to another zone for an amphibious assault (Only a transport) it triggered the kamikaze attack on the remaining ships in z35.
I feel this is inaccurate, but wanted clarification.
Thank you.
You’re right.
Kamikazes can only target surface warships, so if there are no surface warships then kamikazes cannot be used.
Been away from the game for some time and just recently bought the second editions. Convoy Disruption Question: Am I reading this right? The rule book states, “The sea zone must be adjacent to one or more of YOUR controlled territories.” Is this in the pretense of me being attacked or myself the aggressor, because why would you disrupt a convoy adjacent to your own territory? Just reads unassumingly. Also, “At least one warship belonging to a power you are at war with must be in the sea zone.” Can you no longer disrupt convoy sea zones that are devoid of enemy ships? Also if there were enemy ships in the convoy wouldn’t a battle engagement precede the convoy disruption?
Same as OOB you just check convoy zones for enemy ships in the Collect Income phase.
On YOUR turn, you might lose income if ENEMY ships (and carrier based planes and tacs) are in convoy zones adjacent to YOUR territories.
It is independent of conventional naval combat. If an enemy ship is in your convoy zone after your combat phase (because it’s in the collect income phase at the end of your turn), you might lose income (depends on dice)
