May then an airplane from Canton overfly the ocean part of the Macau hex to rebase at extended range, if Portugal is neutral?

A plane has to fly around neutral hexes.

the whole thing is only 28 square kilometers. If I was snatching up Portugal as the CW I might probably land those cheap divs created from the 3-3 Indian INF and later send in some more buddies to annoy the Japanese, making them deal with it later. that's what Allied strategy is all about. Macau is not Hong Kong nor on the 'Pacific' map so there is no restriction on that.

But Japan could fly over the Chinese hexes if it needed to, particularly the one to the SW. Only a bad Chinese player would ever put one of their units on the coast where the Imperial Guard could always land and spot for the BB fleet, and Japan could have the hex. I would put a unit right up against Canton though in that nice river-bend hex under the 'angtung' part of the province label. Make the Japanese dig it out.

No. You can't.

RAW 9. Declaring war

"You can’t enter a hex controlled by: neutral minor country;"

Naval units do not enter hexes. They enter sea areas or ports.

Is there a chance of someone posting a screen shot:

Showing as much of 1939 China as possible.

Before set up (no units on the map).

But showing the hex control flags.

See posts #675 and #676 above in this very thread.

I made a picture but, unfortunately, it is more than twice the size I am allowed to post. [:(]

I made another picture of the east part of China in Global War (39) before set up.

The picture is of zoom two so details are difficult to see. Maybe you prefer several smaller pictures instead?

Orm thank you for posted the updated China map because as you look at Steve's post #674 and Steve's post #675 you can see the differences between then and now.

The map as it exists today is more aligned with Japanese advances during 1938-1939 (it might take some time to load)
