Those are good questions,
- Is it possible for the US to be at war with Jap, and not Euro axis, and vise versa in the gl game?
Apparently USSR can be at war with Germany/Italy and not with Japan according to LH, so there is a precedent, but I’m not sure that will be the same with the US… :?
If they keep to historic accuracy regarding the diplomatic relations within the Axis, probably not. The Tripartite Pact specified that should anyone not already involved in the war (with the specific exception of the USSR) declare war on one of the Axis powers, all axis powers were obligated to declare war in response. If this is implied in the diplomatic rules, once US declares war on Japan, Germany will likely also be at war with the US. At that point, the US can always opt NOT to declare war on Germany(but it makes no sense in the game unless you hate the people you’re playing with).
So it might be possible depending on the rules, but I wouldn’t call that example of the USSR as a precedent.
