Japan DOW Russia

[HARRIS45]

Is there a US readiness increase if Japan DOW Russia before US enters war? I cannot find in scripts. Thanks

[BillRunacre]

No, there isn't any increase in the USA's interest in entering the war due to this.

[HARRIS45]

Thank you for your quick and informative response.

Follow-up question: Is there still a USA Mobilization penalty if the USSR declares war on Japan before the USA has entered the war? I seem to recall that there used to be, but it's been a while since this came up in any of my games.

[BillRunacre]

Yes, there is: the USA moves 25-40% away from the Allies.

[Helsingor]

Thank you, Bill!

[Umeu]

what about if the Brits declare on Japan before USA joins?

[BillRunacre]

It's the same, whoever declares war on Japan before the US has entered.
