17L Variance (Allies) vs simon33 (Axis) BM2.1\. Game II

@variance:

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. "
