In the Pacific/Europe 1940 manual, see Global Rules/Soviet Union/second paragraph of Political Situation on p. 36.
A retroactive declaration of war by Russia disadvantages Japan, because it did not have a chance to respond on J-3 to this threat.
I (incorrectly) assumed the US was attempting to stage an attack on Japan.
If Russia agrees either not to invade Japanese territories or R-4 or a J-2 NCM adjustment, I can live with the retroactive declaration of war.
-
@artofwar1947 Absolutaly, I see the disadvantage. You saw that I didnt DOW, so you based your buy and moves on that fact. Pls let me know what moves you would have made had Russia done a DOW. And yes I am aware that the US also posed a threat to mainland Japan. My apologies; my ignorance of the rules should not adversaly impact you.

Two infantry in S. Manchuria move to Korea.
-
@artofwar1947 does a DOW prevent the Mongolian activation or is it stepping into ajacent territory by the Russians?
-
From p. 39: "If the Soviet Union attacks Korea or any Japan-control territory bordering … Mongolian territories while Mongolia is still neutral, Mongolia will remain neutral … (i.e., prevents the Mongolian activation if Japan attacks a Russian territory bordering Mongolia).
-
also, do you know what happens with Mongolia if the US takes Korea and Russian troops step in to help hold it? The rules, that you quoted, seem to state if Russia attacks

scramble option

Scramble 2 fighters to defend Java.

I believe that, even if the US first takes Korea, Russian troops in Korea would void the pact with Mongolia. You might want to check with Adam or another rules expert though.

I added the UK fighter to the CV in 112 and 2 Japanese infantry to Korea.
Scramble UK fighter from CV in 112 to defend US feet in 107?
OOL for sea battle in 107?
-
@artofwar1947 damn, I didn’t see all those ftrs. Thats going to hurt. Scramble ftr and Max D unless something weird happens
-
so i dont have to give up a second game, let me move the fleet to z111. If by chance I win the game we just dont post the win. If I lose I’ll post your win.
-
game with changes if acceptable triplea_37514_3ita x1.tsvg
-
The US fleet to 112 would be illegal, as it is 4 sea zones from 104.
Redoing US/UK-3 would mean throwing away the two hours of effort needed to plan IT-3 and G-4 and replanning and redoing both.
Although the deal is a really good one for Allies, it is a really bad one for the Axis, trading what might be a relatively quick win for what might be a relatively long and difficult one or worse (a lost). I’ve not had good luck giving such breaks in the past.
