Yeah, the issue is that I would like Ethopia in USSR hands, it is one that is avoidable, like I said, I have seen a USSR marker on it but I wasn’t playing this game so I didn’t see how it came. However, I usually have no problem getting to Somalia, and the northern African territories can be confusing because in my case, UK had Italy on a stalemate front line not pressing so Italy had no reason to assume what I was doing until of course he saw me bring my mech. into Africa.
Moving through friendly neutrals
-
Columbia and Brazil are pro-Allies (Axis attacked true neutrals), and the US is at war.
Two American mechanised infantry are in Central America.
One mechanised infantry moves and activates Colombia.
Now obviously the mechanised infantry in Colombia can’t move further.
But can the other mechanised infantry then move into Brazil? Thank you!

Rulebook, Europe 1940.2 page 10:
“Friendly neutrals may not be attacked, and air units
may not fly over them. They can be moved into (but
not through) as a noncombat move by land units of a
power that is at war (see “Noncombat Move,” page 22).”As all movement happens simultaneously both Mech Inf units move to Colombia at the same time. No unit is allowed to move through Colombia to Brazil, then.
Also remember (page 10 following the above):
"This moves the territory out of its neutral status at the
end of the Noncombat Move phase, however. "So Colombia becomes US controlled territory not before all moves are done!
