Help! American declaration of war privilege

    That sure is a great, new strategy

    Staring intently at US player with no J3 DOW

    “So you’re saying that you’re done with your turn.”

    “Yes.”

    “So the collect income phase of your turn is over, and you’re placing units?..go ahead and place those…”

    “YOU FOOL!!! I’ve won without firing a shot–because now the USA must sit idle turn after turn as the axis destroy the other, weaker allies bwahahahaha”

  • @taamvan lol. We decided to let it play out with his disputed reading of the rule just for the hell of it, with the stipulation we would accept no concession and he had to play it out to the bitter end.

    It didn’t end well for him.

    Not really, it also means that Japan can never attack UK or Anzac at all. So japan is basicaly limited to annoying china and russia while anzac and UK-Pac just build up and take over the middle east and assist russia

    Maybe not. If USA cannot attack any territory that has Japan units then japan flies all its fighters to Europe and lands in german or italian territories. USA cant do anything then. Which is why the theory was dumb in the first place.


  • @squirecam Considering an American transport train can hit any of Rio de Oro, Gibraltar, Normandy, the Low Countries, Denmark, and Norway in one turn, that’s 7 fighters/bombers peeled off to sit those territories.

    That strategy would have required Japan to commit multiple planes to sitting on the Atlantic wall, not pressing Russia and not available to defend against a British surprise attack in Asia.

    Yes it has risks and benefits. However, it’s kinda moot as the rule doesnt work that way.
