You can’t unload 1 unit in combat move and then the other in noncombat move. However, there is nothing that says you have to unload both units in combat move. You can drop 1 unit and keep the other on the transport to be dropped next turn.
Did you read the section of the rulebook I quoted?
It’s also in the notes "* (PE) Transports if unloading for amphibious assault, must unload all their units, and may not hold back some units while offloading other units. "

Page 32 of Europe manual:
Loading and Offloading: A transport can load cargo in friendly sea zones before, during, and after it moves. A transport can pick up cargo, move 1 sea zone, pick up more cargo, move 1 more sea zone, and offload the cargo at the end of its movement. It can also remain at sea with the cargo still aboard (but only if the cargo remaining aboard was loaded in a previous turn, was loaded this turn in the Noncombat Move phase, or was loaded this turn for an amphibious assault from which the transport retreated).
Variance, you are right that you don’t have to unload both units for an amphibious assault IF YOU LOADED THEM the previous turn.
When you load a transport and conduct and amphibious assault all in the same combat movement phase, then you have to offload both units for that amphibious assault.
Well that’s news to me. OK so I guess I have to put that artillery back on FIC and give Sumatra back to Japan and adjust USA’s income.
Yeah, I didn’t know it - like a year ago - either
