@trig In my games, we usually find USSR has zero problems using Spanish troops if they won the Civil War to hit Vichy as that can be used against Italy who cannot hid with neutrality from Communism while also taking out free money from Germany. It’s a win win for both the Comintern and Allies, if you have a Soviet player who is asking to be paid for it clearly loves having Axis forces focus on him.

RE: Allied Dec. of War on Vichy
@insanehoshi USSR can declare war on anyone for free. Most players have house rules in restrictions on Soviet declaration of war due to the Rabid Bear strategy that is over powered requiring the Soviets to make an attack on Vichy in order to do that.

RE: Why can't movement be a single phase?
@trig It’s not really needed in my opinion. My thought on this originally was that it was to better track aircraft movement to prevent accidently cheating but as far as I can tell, I don’t see a good reason to not have com and non com go together.

RE: Allied Dec. of War on Vichy
@jbuckbuddy Vichy is a neutral nation that just happens to be player controlled.

RE: DAK house rule
@trig As far as I know, no value has ever been assigned by HBG or anyone because no nations uses universal outfitting with the exception of naval. HBG I know said for naval tonnage, they agreed to what a naval units means and then looked at the nations real life naval tonnage and assigned based on that. Example, 1 in game destroyer is apparently 40 real life destroyers.

RE: DAK house rule
@adalwolf You do not add up all those units into one single stack. Each year just tells you what DAK looked like that during that year.
Germany’s presents in Africa was much smaller than Italy, it’s just that the German units were slicing their way through the Allies until they were stopped in Egypt. If you were in the infantry as part of the Allies, you were more likely to see Italians than Germans.
Also, as I said, each unit if it equaled to a division would look the way it does. In Axis and Allies and Historical Board Gaming, you have to remember the sculpt you’re seeing isn’t an exclusive unit of just what it represents which is why it’s sometimes hard to understand what the unit is actually doing. Example, if an infantry sculpt is pure infantry, then how did it shoot down a bomber? It must of had some kind of AA guns right? Most German tank divisions usually were equip with artillery and infantry by default.

RE: Italy war declaration
@jbuckbuddy Yes. I don’t know the rule location in the book but you have absolute freedom of choice when it comes to declaration of war as the Axis.

RE: Comintern & Allies cooperation
However as far as I am aware, the Comintern cannot escort Allies convoy lines.

RE: DAK house rule
@adalwolf Are you looking for gameplay or historical value here?
If you want to get historical, you must use Italian transports and German transport aircraft as that is how DAK got to Africa.
I would go as far as to make sure DAK incorporates Italian units as DAK wasn’t exclusively German. This would help balance out the fact that the Axis don’t have any rules about attacking together unlike the Allies and Comintern.
If each division equals a single unit, you can copy this:
Under German Command:
DAK June 41: 2 German Medium tanks. 1 Italian Motor Infantry
DAK Jan 42: 2 German Medium Tanks. 1 German and 1 Italian Infantry
DAK July 42: 2 German Medium tanks. 1 German InfantryUnder Italian Command
DAK Jan 43: 2 German Medium tanks. 2 Italian Light tanks.Air force units are harder to judge because from my understanding. DAK itself wasn’t equip with an air force, more like the German air units were there as an overall supporting force.
What I gave you is if you want to take a pure historical view of DAK.
As for simple gameplay, I’ve seen 1 infantry, 1 medium tank, 1 artillery, and 1 AA gun be used as DAK.
Let me know what you think.

RE: Japanese 3rd Wave at Pearl Harbor
@barnee Again, this has been verified by the US government.
If the 3 carriers were sunk, the fastest San Diego could of produced fleet carriers would of been 1944 regardless. That’s why we started creating sub carriers or fast carriers as they are sometimes called on destroyer hulls with flat decks just to have force projection in the Pacific.
The US was not oil dependent, we never have been since the day oil has become a critical resource, we’re the number 1 nation in oil and we still never fully tapped it because of strategic reasons. US oil during peace time was just enough for a defensive war, we had to actually buy oil right out of the gate during WWII when it became clear that we’re going to fight a two front war and that the Allies decided to target Germany and Italy first. If the Pacific Fleet had their oil supplies destroyed. I can’t imagine the cost to recoup it after repairing the Pacific Navy.
Army depot being taken out, I just remember navy depots were also being targeted for the 3rd wave. That would of destroyed the Army’s ability to conduct offensive war, we would of lost a lot of small arms and artillery in that strike. Guadalcanal would of not happened in 42 or at the very least when it did and the entire point of that operation was to stop Japan from attacking the merchant fleets that supplied ANZAC and India.
The 3rd wave if it launched and completed would of destroyed the Pacific Fleets ability to rage war for quite some time.
That doesn’t mean Japan would be invading the US, they had zero intention of this. Their entire playbook in the Pacific was to deduce UK and Dutch military ability since they assumed Germany would be the bigger issue and strike so hard against the US that they could not jump on Japan and force them to agree to a cease fire of some sort so they could focus on China.

RE: French surrender
@noneshallpass I’m not sure if he doesn’t know the rule or is stating that he doesn’t like the fact that France can surrender it’s cash without the capital being taken.
His complaint if the latter has merit but we’re taking about WWII era France with one of the most embarrassing surrenders maybe in human history.

RE: Japanese 3rd Wave at Pearl Harbor
@barnee This has been already verified. No oil for the Pacific Fleet, the fleet is on the bottom of the ocean., the Army would have to draw National Guard resources to catch up and at this time, NG units were not on par with Army like it is today. If Japan got the carriers, the US would of only been reduced to a single outdated carrier which was stationed near Philippines.
Pearl Harbor was the US putting all its eggs in a single basket and we got lucky when the Japanese slapped it out of our hands, that some eggs didn’t break.
US public opinion doesn’t matter for the ability to rage war. Even with Italy and Germany declaring war a few days later.
No oil, no supplies, no war. Period.

RE: Japanese 3rd Wave at Pearl Harbor
@abworsham4 Japan not launching the 3rd wave was a huge mistake because even if Japan took every lost on the 3rd wave, the amount of damage would of forced the US into diplomacy. The US has even admitted this, the ability to catch up to Japan at that point would of taken awhile. I mean 3rd wave would of destroyed the entire strategic reserve of oil for the Pacific Fleet and destroyed the Army’s ability to conduction offensive operations in the Pacific.

@steeleagle11 Are you still planning on this given the situation still going on?

RE: French surrender
@jbuckbuddy How by logic would France be able to get it out? Gold bars are incredibly heavy so flying it out is next to impossible.
The reason for the French surrender rule the way it is was because the French didn’t want to see Paris get turned into rubble which is why they declared it an open city when the Heer was approaching the north eastern city.

RE: KMT CCP truce
@trig That is such a shit show in history. I’ve read that Chinese sources on either said are known for being shewed, even US history on the subject is met with a lot of issues. I don’t doubt that it happened but you have two factions claim massively different reasons for that action.

RE: Lend-leasing to newly captured territories
@hbg-gw-enthusiast Yeah, I looked it up. The FAQ is correct, Free France has a unique rule where it must be its capital.
