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.
[OOB]: Political/DoW question for Japan
-
Japan announces at start of it’s turn whether or not Japan will declare war on UK/ANZAC.
When this war is declared, USA is allowed to announce DoW on Japan at USA’s turn.So basically, during the Japanese turn, Japan and USA are not at war, right?
So is Japan then allowed to float his boats through USA boats?
-
Correct, as long as Japan doesn’t actually attack the USA then it is not at war with USA.
And then it could indeed ignore US (sea) units.
-
Great! Thanks.
-
Is this also the case in Alpha +.2 ?
On the turn that Japan DOW on ANZAC/UK it can still ignore USA fleet provided it doesn’t attack US/DOW on US
-
Yes, this is the case in Alpha +2.
