@Von-Kuulness You are reading the rules correctly.
Your submarine would only have been able to retreat if it had established a valid alternative retreat route during combat movement (in case that had been possible, it depends on the map of course).
France/Japan political situation - rule clarification
-
The 2Ed and Alpha +3 rules say:
A state of war between Japan and France or between Japan and the Soviet Union will not affect relations between Japan and the United States, and vice versa.
and
Japan may attack French territories at any time, requiring no declaration of war against any Allied power before doing so.
If Japan attacks French Indo-China, does that affect relations between Japan and UK/ANZAC?
Thx.
