Yes, Panther is correct. An important additional note is that the attacking transports may not unload during non-combat. Anything that is on board stays on board and remains vulnerable to sinking.
The naval battle must be complete (and won) before the amphibious assault begins. If the Japanese choose to not complete the battle by clearing the fighters, then they must withdraw any remaining ships to include the transports. There can be no amphib. assault. Any remaining Allied fighters can then land on a friendly territory adjoining the sea zone.
I think all the units, and particularly naval units have been handled very well in AA50. I don’t think they can add anymore units or do much better with design for this type of game.
I cant seem to be able to change the order of loss for the defender in a naval battle. Even tho the order says sink AC first, he keeps sinking Cruisers…
This is actually a question that gets asked fairly often about each incarnation of A&A. I guess it just confuses some people that they can move forces into a contested area after the battle is over.
