BM3 question - Italy has declared war on Russia and taken Eastern Poland. Germany is in Eastern Poland after their turn - can they do that without declaring war on Russia (and thus cancel their 5 IPC bonus)? I thought Germany was at war in this situation but TripleA doesn’t confirm so… I’m asking.

Deleted my earlier response since I missed it was a BM3 question.

@LennardF NO, Germany has to DoW Russia if they want to walk into E.Pol. in BM3 only.

@AndrewAAGamer Tanks a lot, just didn’t want to cheat myself out of a major factory otherwise!!!

@LennardF see here:

Note: An Axis power may not move its units into originally Russian territory unless that Axis power is at war with Russia. Also, when not at war with Japan, Russia may not move its units into any non-Russian Allied territory in Asia, other than Syria, Trans-Jordan, Iraq, Persia, NorthWest Persia, and East Persia. The National Objective for Russia’s first capture of Berlin has been removed.

This is for BM 3 only.

Thanks guys.

Do kamikazes prevent landing marines (e.g. ANZAC) with allied cruisers/battleships (e.g. US)?

Only if they kill the ship that carried them.

@simon33 Actually Kamis cannot attack ships that aren’t part of the nation doing the turn, so they also don’t prevent unloading off allied ships.

Oh sorry, didn’t notice that part of the question.

No. There will be no kami because there will be no sea-battle.

Sorry, didn’t see the following answers.

Of course, there could be scramble, but then the nation making the landing would have to commit air to win the air-battle. Still no kamikazes.

Can anyone please assist with a rule clarification… Are you allowed to purchase an AC from any minor IC or is it a requirement that you also have a naval base in the same location?

@ghostglider In BM there’s no such requirement, you can place any unit anywhere that has a factory.

Thank you for the quick answer!

That restriction does exist in Path to Victory, fyi.

Sorry if I missed the announcement – has the cost of strategic bombers been intentionally changed to 14 IPCs?

@argothair Yes.

Where are all the links to current document, map, players aids? Should not all these items be on the first page?
