Combined bombardment in AAR

They cannot be taken as casualties under any circumstances other than being cargo on lost transports.

Welcome to the forum, chaikov.

You read it correctly, in Revised OOB only land units can be hit by Shore Bombardment, that excludes airplanes.

Air units can be additionally hit starting from the Revised LHTR ruleset and in later games.

HTH :-)

Air units can’t be hit by bombardment in this game.

You can have a sea battle to clear the way for an amphibious assault in the same turn, if the sea battle is in the sea zone from which the assault will take place and not an intervening sea zone.  As Cmdr Jennifer said, if there is a battle to clear the sea zone, your ships may not bombard in support of the amphibious assault.

Klop is not a dog. bbbbbbbbbbbbbbooooooooooooommmmmmmmmmm!!!

But you have a good three rounds before you need to really keep up with America, maybe 4 if you play your cards right.

And the raiding would help out.  5 Submarines = 10 IPC a round if you can ever knock out the American fleet, which, honestly, is doable, but difficult.

Well that all depends on what you guys are offering before I toss JC back into the pot.

@ncscswitch:

To be honest though, I think it is such an exceedingly rare occurance that I don;t think it will be an issue in 999 games out of 1000.

Agreed

And I still like the “logic” of not being able to blast away Parisian INF from the Normandy Coast; or Chicago National Guard Units from the Virginia coast…

Yeah, that is kinda wonky.  But no more so than some of the other abstractions the game makes.
