99% sure open communication is allowed. The extent to which it’s allowed is up to you, though. With my play-group we cut it off at “talk of general strategy is allowed, anything more specific is not.” We do it this way because of bad experiences where multi-player games would devolve into the “good” Axis Player and the “good” Allies Player forcing their teammates to obey their orders on what to do each turn, effectively turning the game into a 1v1 with a peanut gallery. That’s not much fun for anyone.
Rules question
-
Recently I’ve read in tripleA that an AAA-gun should not be allowed to activate a friendly neutral because it has no combat value, but I can’t find this anywhere in the rules.
I often like to activate Brazil with a US AAA-gun, so what is the ruling about this?Apart from not finding it in the rules, I wonder why (if!) a unit should have a combat value to activate a friendly neutral. The unit is not there to fight, after all! Not even to persuade the neutral at ‘gunpoint’ ;-).

LAND UNITS
Infantry, artillery, mechanized infantry, tanks, and AAA
(antiaircraft artillery) can attack and defend only in
territories. Only infantry, artillery, mechanized infantry,
and tanks can capture hostile territories or convert
friendly neutrals. All can be carried by transports. -
Thanks!
I only looked in the sections of AAA-guns and Neutrals, obviously :roll:.
