Hypothetical Situation for debate -
United States invades Spain using the Spanish beach head strategy. UK attacks Turkey on the same turn. Turkish forces repel UK. UK units retreat. Turkey is left with a standing army consisting of X infantry. Turkey and all strict neutrals are now considered Pro-Axis.
Italy pushes one land unit to activate remaining Turkish troops that survive the UK attack.
Next turn, due to fact that Germany is now repositioning forces to engage Spanish front that has developed, USSR attacks any remaining infantry and wins territory from Italy.
Does USSR secure a +3 NO for capturing Turkey?
I really need the answer to be from a Rules Deputy so there is no debate within the group later.
Thank you for any input or help on this issue.
