Can US air land on Easter Russian territories if Japan and Russia are not at war?

No. USSR has to be at war with Japan in order for any allies to land in their territories.

@Ichabod As long as Russia is neutral, US can’t land there. Once US and Russia are allied, they can.
Don't always trust TripleA when it comes to rules questions. Know the rules before you start … and better check what TripleA has done.

And Russia has to be at war specifically with Japan. Also, USA has to be at war with someone. Any Axis power will do.

Yes planes can pass over any zone that contain enemy ships, enemy planes, or enemy units. Planes cannot pass over neutral countries. In sbr’s they have to fight their way in if escorted or not if they are intercepted. After the interception or not then they get shot at by aaa and then if they survive that they get to bomb the factories and the tac bomber’s can bomb the airfields and naval bases. You are right that in the older version the aa was always active but not anymore. Hope this helps! :-)

Guys,

––Just to add to your answer a bit. ‘Kreighund’, the rules guy, basically said that in order to CONQUER an Allied teritory, there must be a ‘COMBAT’. What that in essence means is that the teritory must have been previously conquered by an Axis power.
----If the Allied territory still has the same ownership after having it’s Capital subjugated,…you are simply ‘Re-inforcing’ the territory for the current owner.

@Spendo02:

Much of that assertion is based on play testing of the Allies moving to defend Hawaii in the first round.

Obviously that changes if you withdraw because the only trade would be the starting fleet off Hawaii, which easily translates to a strong consolidated navy off of Western US.

That is why I posed the question regarding what would be an Allied response to a J1 DOW that stages in SZ6 and paves the way to sack Honolulu on J2 as I was not sure if that would be an experienced US player’s response….

…My standard play has been to defend Hawaii at all costs which included Anzac’s involvement (to see what the board looks like) while purchasing US1 SS and Bombers. I never considered the US option to give it up and consolidate - which appears to be a better and stronger play…

We have a few regular and experienced players and now that we have played Global enough times America’s response to Japan positioning it’s fleet in range of Hawaii is always to just run away and let them have it.

Bringing back the Pacific fleet is always the stronger move because if Japan keeps sending fleet to Hawaii then it’s going the wrong way. Not being in striking distance of DEI and India means that the UK will start slowly building a non-trivial fleet of ships and will be making 30+ IPCs.

Meanwhile America is out pretty much nothing but a few IPCs and can just casually build boats and watch. The second Japan leaves they just retake Hawaii with almost no effort.

Can American planes land in Soviet Far east? If Russia at peace with Japan?

Thanks Krieghund. My friends and I don’t play often enough so we all have to brain storm to remember the rules.

@Young:

After AA guns have fired at attacking air units (if any) they may be used as casualties during an ensuing land battle. If land units attack a territory with only AA Guns defending, they are defenseless and are removed from the board without rolling dice.

pretty sure it’s not just a land unit. A single air unit can clear an infinite number of AA guns, assuming it makes it past that single die roll.

Interesting, clears them, but doesn’t take the territory.

Yep. Never leave AA guns alone, just as you never leave transports alone.

If they hold up the gaps, they are defensive in a sense. I like them to get back from the coast, consolidate and crawl back to Moscow or threaten Japanese gains in the north. I don’t like a straight run back unless Germany skips sea lion for a pure barbarossa

@Cmdr:

Stoney, I think yer misreading the NOs.

The copy I have in front of me says that America gets 10 IPC NO for controlling W. USA, C. USA and E. USA and being at war with Japan, Germany and Italy, not 30 IPC.

The OOB rules said 30, I believe, but the Alpha 2 rules only say 10, thank the creators! America’s got PLENTY of money as it is without getting the equivalent of England entire income, from classic, as bonus income!

I’ll admit I don’t have the NOs in front of me (I’m in Doha atm!), but I’m pretty was what I said was accurate… as is what you said about the 10 IPC NO. The US has 30 IPCs of NOs applicable when at war, but I did not mean to imply that it is still 1 whole NO: it is now divided into separate NOs, including the 10 IPC one you mentioned.
