Specific Lightning Assault Question

It doesn’t matter if the land unit survives to retreat or not.  Just its having moved into the territory establishes the retreat path.

@ncscswitch:

It would also skew the hell out of Europe.

Imagine Germany’s 6 FIGs and BOM backed up by a large stack of INF…  Throw in an ARM or seven…

Can you say “steamroll” anyone?

I prefer baked rolls.

@ShadowHAwk:

Eh but 2 does not state it has to be a combat move. And since submarines threat hostile seazones as friendly the zone is effectively not a hostile zone and number 3 allows the movement. I would say Yes to question 3 based on this. Moving through a friendly seazone is not considered a combat move and the SZ not containing destroyers is effectively a friendly seazone for a sub.

Well, I’d be willing to advocate both views. As I quoted submarines treat hostile sea zones as friendly, but that statement is under “combat movement phase”. Looking under “ncm phase” this is not repeated, in fact, it states that NO sea units may move through hostile sea zones EXCEPT in the case of enemy submerged submarines.

Might be worth looking more into, but I assume mostly for theoretical interest.

Is it you can’t collect income or is it that you don’t go through the collect income phase?  From what I’ve read it looks more like you don’t get to go through the collect income phase than it is, you just can’t get cash.

thanks

Well I realize you don’t just use fighters alone, you use them in conjunction with inf as powerful back up. :wink:

Never mind, figured it out :-)

no sir, it would only fire if the planes are attacking teh island. it does not protect taskeforces on the open sea =[
