Neutral Activation

[Flashman]

Can a plane land in a pro-neutral in the same non-combat movement phase in which the land unit moves in to activate that neutral, or must it wait till the next turn as per conquered territory?

[Krieghund]

It must wait.

[Flashman]

To clarify, then:

The pro-neutral only becomes part of an alliance at the end of a non-combat movement phase after all units have completed their moves; it does not become friendly as soon as a land unit moves in.

[Krieghund]

For all practical purposes, yes.

I would guess that fit in with the 'can only land in tt that you owned at the start of your turn' concept.

"Your air units cannot land in territories you just captured, whether they were involved in the combat or not"(AAP40 rulebook page 26 pargraph 1)

[Flashman]

The question was essentially about if we treat the infantry moving in as a combat move, and hence the tt as "captured", not all that clear as this only happens during non-combat movement.
