Global 2nd edition Q+A ( AAG40.2)

@Krieghund Mr. Krieghund. Good afternoon from USA. Can’t find answer to this question on the forum threads but I have to believe it’s been asked before. Regarding the Japan-Soviet Pact, the scenario is that Japan attacked Amur in Fall 1940. So Mongolia becomes Soviet. But the issue that I am unclear about is can the 6 ground-pounders in Mongolia move into non-Mongolian territory after being activated?? Can they join a Soviet counter-attack on Amur or do they have to stay in the Mongolian territories for the entire game? Likewise, can they move into Chinese territories to assist them since the Japanese attack on Soviet Union makes China and Soviets allies?? Thanks in advance for the assistance.

if the mongolian units are activated and then they become Soviet they can move whereever they like, china, india, japan australia. you name it

@Trout They become fully Soviet units–no restrictions. Once activated, they are the same as any other pro-Allied neutral unit. They become fully integrated into your country’s forces.

[Krieghund]

@Trout
@oysteilo and @surfer are correct. Per pages and 39 of the Europe Rulebook, when the Mongolian territories become Soviet in this way, they are treated in the same way as taking control of a friendly neutral territory.

@Krieghund Thanks all for the clarification. In a game currently where this happened and wanted to make sure before I move those dudes out of their homeland

G1: invade Yugoslavia and ping pong to Romania and leave Yugo for Italy.

Does this attack change the political situation in Yugoslavia from Friendly Allied Neutral to Allied At War Neutral?

Does this change in political situation allow for the fighter on Malta to land in Yugo turn one?

I feel like I read about this situation or saw it in a video but I can’t find this situation addressed in the rule book.

Thank you

@dazedwit When Germany attacks Yugoslavia, it immediately stops being neutral and joins the Allies. This means that it is friendly to all Allied powers, so they are all free to enter it with any units in subsequent turns, and control of it can still be taken as though it were still a friendly neutral. See page 11 of the Rulebook.

This rule is not properly implemented in Triple-A, which doesn’t allow planes to land in this scenario.

@Krieghund

If Germany attacked and failed to take Yugo, can the UK land planes there as a “friendly” territory without landing any ground units there?

As in, can UK attack Italian fleet and count the Yugo terr. as a potential landing space, even if no UK land units will ever make to Yugo that turn.

Thanks!

[Krieghund]

@Karl7 Yes. However, they cannot take control of it with only air units.
