USSR and Japan are in peace (we used house rule, in game they are in war). Can USSR declare war now?

I counted garrison (please some else count too)
Japan 22,5
USSR 29

Yes, USSR can DOW according to my count. Although it is close, so I think you should do a recount.

I got the figures to this:
Japan: 22
USSR: 23

Our USSR figures might be different because we might be interpreting the common border differently? So I cut it out for reference.

- Your common border with another major power consists of every hex you (or your aligned minor countries)
control within 3 hexes and/or hexdots of a hex controlled by the other major power (or its aligned minor countries).

Send GE Nav3 from Sicily to 0-box, plz

Now I noticed I counted some units 4 hexes away.

Italy begin searching in the Central Atlantic. Will Allies reinforce the sea area?

And the next search will be in the Gulf of Guinea. Perhaps Allies can decide now on whether any air will be used there?

US NAV to box 3 Central Atlantic.

If only FTR2 can fly Gulf of Guinea, then no thanks.
