Mongolian Cav

Help me understand why the Mongolian Cav cannot enter Japanese territory in China. Japan and USSR are at war.

Just as the info row says. Foreign HQ rule. More soon.

Edit: Basically the same rule as limits CW forces in France.

Cut from RAC:
2.5 Control
....
[Clarifications. If the USSR invades China, taking hexes away from the Japanese, the USSR controls those hexes.
However, the hexes are still part of the Chinese home nation territory for purposes of the foreign troop commitment
rule, regardless of who controls them - Feb. 1, 1998.

But in Another game I played USSR forces could enter Jordan from Iraq after German forces conquered Jordan.
Is that situation not similar?

[Orm]

There is a difference here. Transjordan is a minor country. China is a major power. So a major power unit can freely enter a minor country. However, a minor country unit entering another minor country can have issues. It depends on the status of the minor.

[Orm]

Note that some MP units in this regard are considered minor country units and can have issues. Usually TERR and some militia. (Note that some TERR are actually MP units)

A pristine and understandable set of rules I ever saw one

Ah I just saw this. Great. Clarifications are key.
