Something to remember about infantry units in 1941, they were able to shoot down aircraft. So with this in mind it is possible to shoot down enemy aircraft. I don’t agree with them being able to shoot down bombers, but some realism is lost to “game” play. Of course as players, you all can agree to modify your own rules so long as all agree.
Amphibious Assault question
-
I don’t get this rule:
Amphibious assaults: “If sea combat occurs, all attacking and defending sea units
must participate in the battle.”So if I’m going to try to take an island, and Japan has ONE destroyer sitting in the adjoining seazone, this means I have to use all my US carriers, CAs and BBs - everything I’ve got, to clear out the one destroyer? I can’t save back one BB or CA in another zone to bombard the island? What’s the rationale for that?

Seems to me like you do get the rule :-D

I guess I get it but don’t like it. :x
What about the loaded transports - can they be held back or are they forced participate in the sea battle before offloading?

All combat moves are made at the same time and are considered simultaneous for game proposes. So they are forced to participate on the battle as well.
