99% sure open communication is allowed. The extent to which it’s allowed is up to you, though. With my play-group we cut it off at “talk of general strategy is allowed, anything more specific is not.” We do it this way because of bad experiences where multi-player games would devolve into the “good” Axis Player and the “good” Allies Player forcing their teammates to obey their orders on what to do each turn, effectively turning the game into a 1v1 with a peanut gallery. That’s not much fun for anyone.
A few rule-clarifications questions

Hey guys! I’ve played 1942 quite a few times, but I just got the 1940 global, and regarding that I got a few questions:
Can Soviet invade Finland on their first turn, without Germany declaring war to Soviet first?
Regarding flights/landings, are islands still part of the sea zone? Meaning, does it take an aircraft 1 turn to enter the seaszone surrounding the island, or does it get that “for free”?
Thanks in advance :)

Welcome, dachi!
Can Soviet invade Finland on their first turn, without Germany declaring war to Soviet first?
No. USSR may not move into territories outside its own on the Europe map until it is at war with Germany and/or Italy. Also, it may not move into territories outside its own on the Pacific map until it is at war with Japan.
Regarding flights/landings, are islands still part of the sea zone? Meaning, does it take an aircraft 1 turn to enter the seaszone surrounding the island, or does it get that “for free”?
Islands are separate spaces from the sea zones that they’re in. It takes a movement point to enter or leave an island.
