In case you missed it, there are 2 fighters in Iceland.

And I’m double checking something with China rules. Triplea won’t let me attack Burma because it’s India. Just double checking it’s a fault of the program and not an obscure rule.

[seth4god]

I’m going to ask why China wouldn’t be able to DOW on Italy. So pausing the game until I get an answer back.

I’ve combed the rules and don’t see any reason why China can’t DOW on Italy. I could’ve missed something though, but I’m going to go ahead with my turn and attack Burma. We can always come back and edit Burma back to Italy if it’s needed.

Whoops, thought I posted this already.  :roll:

Please use this file. Got distracted by trying to figure out why China wouldn’t be able to DOW. Forgot to make a crucial retrograde movement.  :-D

[wheatbeer]

The issue is address on page 35 of the European rulebook (in the added section for Global rules) under China, Political Situation.

“China can’t declare war on a European Axis power unless one of those powers first declares war on it”

It would be funny if I could secure Hong Kong with Italy … but I am pretty sure you won’t let me get away with that now  :lol:

[wheatbeer]

I don’t see any file attached to that message.

[seth4god]

forgot the file

My riposte would be that Italy is now a global power. They lost the Euro nomenclature when they took Burma, West India, and built an IC there :wink:

Very well then, edit accordingly. Um, that infantry goes back to Yunnan. And one less inf place to Yunnan in favor of another infantry in Jehol. It’s probably easier to just pluck the guy from Burma and add one to Jehol

[seth4god]

Wait, NO!

I can indeed take Burma!  :-D

Political Situation: China begins the game at war with Japan. China can’t declare war on a European Axis power
unless one of those powers first either declares war on China or moves units into a territory into which Chinese units
are allowed to move. A state of war between China and one Axis power won’t affect its relations with the other Axis
powers.

So leave the edits aside, China owns Burma until you do something about it.  :evil:

It helps to read the entire rule  :roll:

Hehe, my sarcastic wit was right for once! I was thinking not being able to DOW is an injustice when Burma is Italian. So . .  . go ahead and try to take Burma if you want. China can at least try to get it back.  :-D

@seththenewb:

My rulebook (OOB) doesn’t have that sentence  :-P

I wasn’t aware that was part of the errata. Or do you have a rev2 rulebook?

[seth4god]

[seth4god]

Takes awhile to load, at least on my connection. Which is why I went along with what you originally wrote until it finished loading up.

[wheatbeer]

I still learn new things  :lol:

I finally have a rev 2 rulebook  :-D … thanks for the link.

[seth4god]

Well, in that case

Pacific rule book is 3/4ths down that first mess of links, just under the Europe one.

[wheatbeer]

On an unrelated note … this is the first game I’ve played in which Iceland was important.
