I dont think Alexandre will play this game any more... any way we can reset password for china?

[ironduke1955]

All Bomburs turns have been played there is no China Japanese war so the Chinese turn is more about admin at the moment.

[ernieschwitz]

I am confused. Is Bombur in or out?

[ironduke1955]

Bombur played the Chinese turn yesterday 20/04 so I would say definitely in. He was never out just took longer than usual to play his turns.

[ironduke1955]

Turn is with Juergen Axis

Turn4-Japan at dropbox.

As Italy was shown as nation having most influence on Albania, I thought Italy could declare war. But it made Germany become protector of Albania. So Italy did not invade. Axis nations will sign peace again.

[ernieschwitz]

Yeah, if you declare war against a country you are best friends with, the 2nd best friend steps up. In General it is a bad idea that you declare against a country you are best friends with, as it sort of can ruin the mechanics of the game... not sure what i can do about it, actually.

[Rander]

USA turn on dropbox.

Bye,
Rander.

[Twotribes]

If you control Italy and Germany just carry out the Invasion and sign peace between Italy and Germany.

I do that when I have the Soviets attack Poland after Germany. They just sign peace with France and Britain.

Ok, this is going a bit faster so lets keep up the momentum [:)] Il message Bombur about his turn.

[Rander]

Turn done and uploaded.

Had a game crash when playing the turn. I try to re-do all the moves in the same way.

Bye,
Rander.

OK anyone care to explain why the United States Navy is hugging the Japanese coastline in 1938[:)] at least the IJN doesn't have to spend a yen to find the US fleet

[ANTONIOr]

usa were concerned about the china japan war

maybe they want to provoke a casus belli with japan to avoid a pearl harbor surprise[:D]

the pearl harbor attack by japanese forces was a hypothesis in us plans since '30

[Twotribes]

Don't worry the US can not declare war on you so let him waste his oil sailing around helplessly from your coast.

[ernieschwitz]

Actually, since Germany declared war on Denmark, that was best friend of the United States, he can declare war. He has been woken from Isolationism...

[Twotribes]

Yet he can not attack minors? What kind of logic is that?

The Japanese would have loved to have sunk the US carriers but fortunately they were out at sea on the fateful day. Now those carriers are sitting next to Tokyo in range of not just my Carrier Fleet but all my land based air force[;)].

The reason they cannot attack minors has been discussed before. They are a democracy, and thus have to play nicely. In older version of GD 1938, the USA could only attack countries that were at war with other majors. This was changed, and it made programming alot simpler. But at the same time it opened up a few possibilities, like the US declaring war on countries that technically are not at war. The United States could even declare war against France, if they wanted. Instead the victory options are meant to guide a countries actions, and have in some ways prevented attacks like the one i just mentioned. As for the United States declaring war on Japan. That is actually realistic in my book. United States was never happy about Japanese expansion in China, and embargoed them etc. I therefor find it plausible that they can attack Japan at this date, under these circumstances. Besides, what minors would the United States want to declare war against?

Antonio,If you check the diplomatic panel China and Japan are allies, and are currently singing Cumbaya in harmony.[:)]

[ernieschwitz]
