As Russia and Japan are not at war, US and other Ally units cannot occupy the eastern half of Russia. You need to reconsider the US NCM in the Pacific.

As this does not affect the Italian move, I will go ahead with I-3 and you can edit the US-3 NCM on your ANZAC/FR-3 turn.

I don’t really fully understand the rule but in this case why don’t we retroactively activate a declaration of war between Russia and Japan as that was the apparent intent of the US was to put boots on the ground

ArtofWar1947

@max334

In the Pacific/Europe 1940 manual, see Global Rules/Soviet Union/second paragraph of Political Situation on p. 36.

A retroactive declaration of war by Russia disadvantages Japan, because it did not have a chance to respond on J-3 to this threat.

I (incorrectly) assumed the US was attempting to stage an attack on Japan.

If Russia agrees either not to invade Japanese territories or R-4 or a J-2 NCM adjustment, I can live with the retroactive declaration of war.

max334

@artofwar1947 Absolutaly, I see the disadvantage. You saw that I didnt DOW, so you based your buy and moves on that fact. Pls let me know what moves you would have made had Russia done a DOW. And yes I am aware that the US also posed a threat to mainland Japan. My apologies; my ignorance of the rules should not adversaly impact you.

ArtofWar1947

@max334

Two infantry in S. Manchuria move to Korea.

max334

@artofwar1947 does a DOW prevent the Mongolian activation or is it stepping into ajacent territory by the Russians?

ArtofWar1947

@max334

From p. 39: "If the Soviet Union attacks Korea or any Japan-control territory bordering … Mongolian territories while Mongolia is still neutral, Mongolia will remain neutral … (i.e., prevents the Mongolian activation if Japan attacks a Russian territory bordering Mongolia).

max334

also, do you know what happens with Mongolia if the US takes Korea and Russian troops step in to help hold it? The rules, that you quoted, seem to state if Russia attacks

I believe that, even if the US first takes Korea, Russian troops in Korea would void the pact with Mongolia. You might want to check with Adam or another rules expert though.
