Question about neutrals and powers at war with each other

@Caesar-Seriona said in Dutch Neutrality Question:

Because the creators thought it was enough to put their colonies in but not count it as an independent faction hence why you can’t liberate their homeland because it’s marked as German Grey and how it lacks units, income, and turn. So they make it under this stupid exile in govern status.

Sorry, I don’t get that in the context of an argumentation for your previous statement:

@Caesar-Seriona said in Dutch Neutrality Question:

The game actually treats Japan already at war with the Dutch on turn 0.

As clearly stated by the rules Japan starts the game being at war with China only.
There is no state of war between Japan and the Netherlands.

In order to attack Dutch colonies Japan needs to establish a state of war with UK/ANZAC instead.

Rulebook Pacific 1940.2, page 37:

Japan may attack Dutch territories only if a state of war exists between it and the United Kingdom and ANZAC.

YES I would certainly say so.

I have taken Spain and weakened turkey and Sweden so the axis get little benefit from the true neutrals.  I build many mech armor and a few aircraft with russia.  While us starts opening a front in Spain, I like to swing the Russian forces through Turkey into the vicinity of Greece.  If Germany is committed north or deep into Russia, they quickly face fronts in the south and west in a swift coordinated move.  I like hitting Spain…if turkey and sweden are dealt with too…

@Pvt.Ryan:

By the way welcome to the forums Gamegeek. Have fun and don’t mess anything up  :-D

Thank you very much.  I’ve been lurking for a while.  :)

all 3.  REALLY sure NO

Your sub would have to hit his ship/ships for it to matter.

Because if you submerge that does nothing.

@calvinhobbesliker:

Actually, they will die. The procedure for aircraft retreat is different from sea or land retreat: the air units break off and land anywhere withing their remaining range. Since the plane had zero movement points left, it dies if you retreat

Correct.

No. It just stays there.

(Unless it is in a Chinese territory… then it is removed.)
