Shore Bombardment vs Air units ?

@Spud said in Combined bombardment in AAR:

Does anyone know if the destroyers need to be accompanied by a battleship in order to use combined bombardment?

No. There’s nothing in the rules indicating that.

@cernel That’s quite a loophole you’ve discovered. It’s things like this that made LHTR necessary. You are correct about point 1. Regarding point 2, I see nothing in the rules that would disallow attacking an unoccupied enemy-controlled territory with only air units.

I have tried this and it has worked. Bought all fighters turn one. Then all bombers turn two by turn three england landed in France and the US had like 6 fighters, 2 bombers, 2inf a tank and art in france after england had secured it the previous round. US took italy next turn and game ended shortly after. It was a few years ago so i cant recall anymore specifics. The key is pooling all available aircraft and witholding from Op. Torch. Also England needs naval dominance which sometimes doesnt happen with a G1 carrier build

thanks the FAQ is a big help

Or put in other terms,
who cares about those who’s only comments have some lame excuse blaming different ideas and trying to make a bogus illusion of connection of these ideas and players who don’t understand the game over and over again?

Once air units engage in battle, they can hit and be hit by any unit in the territory.

The only exception of course is that SUBs cannot fire on FIGs or BOMs at all.

you can also move units into an enemy seazone that contains only enemy submerged sub(s).

You can also download the ABattleMap. There you can see the correct unit placement.
