Americans still neutral?

Heffalump · 07-22-07, 06:51 AM

Playing GWX. 1941.

On 9th December I received a radio message that restrictions agains American shipping were lifted. More targets!

On the 10th I came across an American merchant. Am preparing to attack but I notice that the American cities are still green (neutral) and war doesn't officially begin till the 11th.

Theoretically I should be able to attack here. But (in game terms) will I be accused of sinking a neutral??

German declaration of war to the USA was on 11th December 1941.
US declaration of war to Germany,as an reaction to the german declaration
on Dec 12th 1941.
So you would sink an neutral before Dec 11th 1941.

Further factor to consider.

In SH3, ships that spawn and get underway before their home-country alignment changes... may retain their original alignment until they reach their destination and disappear.

I cannot recall if this is corrected by saving/exitting the game and restarting.
