Quick question regarding this errata:

“The United States begins the game neutral. It may not declare war on Japan unless Japan first declares war on it or makes
an unprovoked declaration of war against the United Kingdom or ANZAC. Following any such unprovoked
declaration of war by Japan, the United States will receive an immediate one-time bonus payment of 30
IPCs, representing the total mobilization and transfer of military assets within the continental United
States. However, if the United States is still not at war with Japan by the Collect Income phase of its third
turn, it may declare war on Japan at the beginning of that phase. This is an exception to the rules for
declaring war (see “Declaring War,” page 11), which may normally be done only at the beginning of the
Combat Move phase.” (Note that this change applies only to the Pacific rules, and not to the Global
rules.)”

Does the USA still get this if they remain neutral? For example if Japan DOWs UK/Anzac but not USA, and USA chooses to remain neutral?

@barnee I will give it a look. Tx!

@Imperious-Leader Oh, geez. It sounds like it was a rough ride.

@IWillNeverGrowUp Sad to see you go. I hope it was fun while it lasted.

@IWillNeverGrowUp I tried your site today. It’s still down from the postal strike. Will it be returning or have you pretty much sold out? Tx

@barnee I will give it a look. Tx!

@Stucifer I agree about the turn order change. It represents the shift in initiative, but it was really hard to get used to for a while.

Good calls on the map, and I also agree that Malta totally deserves an airbase!

@klykke89 I gonna say 5 hours or so at most, and I think 4 turns.

I finally tried this.

I had to add a German control marker to Crete as they had controlled since May '41. Other then that, I liked the set up. I do wonder why the French factories were removed. The one in Southern France was critical for the Germans in Africa, but maybe that was the intent.

It is a much quicker variant than the main game and it plays quite well.

Thanks!

I thought it was kind of funny when Ray mentioned he needed to listen to a hockey game on the radio when he was working stuff (he said fig painting), because when I need something to listen to when I’m working on stuff, I go to Dicetruction!

How long did 1:10-1:11 land you in the doghouse?  :-o
