Amphibious assaults can be done in two steps, consisting of a sea battle and a land battle. In your example, both the cruiser and the transport would attack the destroyer. If the attackers win, the transport can offload and the land battle will occur. If the transport ends up retreating (or being sunk), the land battle will not occur and the transport may not offload.

Sorry to ask these questions so late but it has just come up in one of our recent games and I couldn’t fine the answer using the board’s search engine. So….here goes:
A sea zone containing an English cruiser and carrier with one fighter along with a Russian sub, is attacked by a German fleet containing one sub, one bomber, one cruiser, and a battleship. Neither side has a destroyer.
The questions are:
1. “does the Russian sub get first strike capabilities along with the German sub?”
2. “if 1. is yes, does it fire back on a roll of 1?”
3. “if 1. is no, does it defend on the normal combat roll?”Any help would be appreciated…thanks!

The Soviet sub gets Surprise Strike, hitting on a 1.
