@wheatbeer:

Sorry about the dice there :|

Two issues:

I don’t see anything in the comment log.

Also, I don’t believe that the US strategic bomber could legally reach SZ19, because the Soviets and Japan are not at war and that restricts other Allies from moving units into Soviet territory on the Asian half of the map.

I posted a new turn with the comment. (forgot to actually hit the add comment button :roll:) As for the US bomber, I am pretty sure it is legal but I have asked for an official ruling. The politics panel shows that the US and Russia are allies since they are both at war. I do not believe there is a restriction of what territories I can jointly occupy. Being at war with Japan is irrelevant, I think. If I am wrong then my bomber would fight in sz 25 and maybe prevent me form losing a sub and fighter :wink: As for the dice no need to apologize we all suffer and benefit equally in the end.

I saw that Gamerman responded, but in case you wanted the rulebook reference:

Page 36
“Due to its separate treaties with Germany and Japan, the Soviet Union is in a unique position in its relationship with the Axis powers. As a result, if the Soviet Union is at war with Axis powers on only one map, it is still under the restrictions of being a neutral power (see “Powers Not at War with One Another,” page 15) on the other map. In other words, a state of war with Japan lifts those restrictions from the Soviet Union on the Pacific map only, and a state of war with Germany and/or Italy lifts those restrictions on the Europe map only.”

With regard to SZ25, I don’t mind if you roll for that bomber with forum dice, so long as the the other SZ25 dice remain as originally rolled.

Just read Gamermans response as well. As illogical as that rule is, the bomber will participate in sz25 with original dice. Do you agree that if my bomber hits in rd 1 your ship is gone and my sub and fighter will be edited back?

I wonder if say a German tank starting blitzing towards siberia would any allied forces be able to attack it if Russian wasn’t at war with Japan? Learn something new everyday!

My assumption would be that the rule works both ways and that European Axis forces cannot enter Soviet Asia either so long as Soviet Asia remains neutral.

The first roll by the Japanese destroyer in SZ25 was a hit … so no matter what, Japan will inflict at least one casualty.

majikforce

Got it! If you want to roll it and edit accordingly thats cool with me, I trust you. So we can keep things moving. Otherwise I can do it tonight. You can NCM the bomber to Hawaii unless it can reach queensland.

Seems weird that an imaginary line would prevent a German blitzkrieg in a time of war. But this game has a bunch of loop holes to exploit and now I have another one in my arsenal! :wink:
