@insanehoshi the glossary at the beginning says minors do consider “the primary nation” to be home country, but not “colonies, islands or conquered land zones”

@insanehoshi Table 4-1

@captainnapalm interesting question. Since it seems to operate exactly as normal combat except that it happens in an adjacent zone and for one round only, I am inclined to believe both SPA and advanced artillery can move and then attrition attack.

The earliest it can open is July '38, but it requires a state of war between Japan and KMT. If Japan and KMT are not at war in July '38, then the next turn in which they arw at war the Burma Road will open.

@insanehoshi ah, you are right, it does say 36 only. That does lend some weight to the argument. Certainly not enough, but some. Yet more reason for a clarification.

@insanehoshi Table 4-1

@insanehoshi but what are we basing that on? I can’t find any rule that says so, nor anything that suggests it.

@trig But I don’t see anything that says they stop being controlled. Am I missing some footnote somewhere that says when they are no longer at war they revert to being neutral? I can see the logic behind the argument for that interpretation, which is what makes this question so frustrating. But I can also see the logic behind it not changing, the major power in question establishing a puppet government or simply locals rallying to the cause of the liberator who secured their own independence.

@insanehoshi I can see the position, but since the only other situation in the rules that is similar doesn’t suggest this change either, I can’t agree with that interpretation. Abyssinia can beat back Italy, assumedly forcing peace, but it doesn’t suggest they stop being French controlled or making their rolls. I would of course like clarification on this, but until thay comes, I can’t see anything that says they stop rolling.

A couple of questions, first, I have seen people saying the winner of the Spanish Civil War stops making recruitment rolls, but I can not find that anywhere, can someone walk me on to that rule? Second, is AAA affected by terrain? On the one hand, it has Attack and Defense values, which suggest it is. On the other hand, the rule states outright it is on 3’s, which suggest no modifiers apply. I can see the argument for either side, so I brought it here hoping for a formal response from someone with the authority to make a such a ruling.
