13L G40 wheatbeer (Axis) vs seththenewb (Allies +12) game 2

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:

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

@seththenewb:

It helps to read the entire rule  :roll:

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?

I still learn new things  :lol:

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

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