The US can choose to fight the battles in either order, but it won’t matter. Defending planes that lose the carrier holding them in combat get 1 movement to land after the Combat phase is done, so at that point it would already be determined if they had a friendly place to land regardless of the battle order. The landing is done after the whole combat phase to avoid confusion of planes getting to defend twice, which they don’t.
Choice of attack

From experience, iam sure everyone has their preference. Wanted to see what folks here choose and why. It’s a pretty simple question…

Poll question ending is : " What happens after attack is irrelevant."

The tank is superior because if on the first round they hit once you are still attacking on a 3 in later rounds. That is a fact. What is a value judgement is whether this advantage is worth 2IPC to you. Often, it is but not always and I don’t always have a tank around when I’m doing the amphibious assault so the decision is made.
With the no retreat, I am assuming you are referring to amphibious assaults.

The INF +ARM combo gives me flexibility and stability.
First round would be a 33% chance on average to hit the defending unit, after that i would still have a 50/50 option left. -
The tank is superior because the total attack power for the second round diminishes by only 25%, not 50% as it would if your second unit was an artillery. The tank attacks at 3, whereas the artillery attacks at 2. Total attack power on round 1 is 4, and with the tank total attack power on round 2 is 3.

Inf + tank, for the reasons mentioned. Plus, that combo actually has a slightly better chance of killing the defender in the first round, though the difference is small.
