@Caesar:
Yeah which is why FIC is key but adding any more minors in China seems pointless with a transport fleet.
The Japanese fleet has enough to do without shielding transports ferrying troops to the Chinese mainland. To save 12IPCs?
In A&A Pacific 1940 japanese forces can occupie French Indo China without entering war with UK, ANZAC and the USA.
How will it be in the global Version?
Good question! I hadn’t thought of that until you just mentioned it. However, it would only come into play if Germany failed to sack Paris the first turn… Still something we ought to know; I would guess that they would have to declare war on France, which would bring UK and ANZAC with them.
Japan may declare war on France without any effect on its relations with other powers.
That works too. :-)
Thanks Krieghund.
