@Soson:

Attack the enemy to your advantage, but retreat before capturing the territory.

Some reason you might do this:

1. keep your expensive attack units safe from enemy counterattack
2. weaken a territory so your teammate can capture the ipc’s with less effort
3. save the surviving units to defend from another attack

An example would be Germany strafing Yugoslavia on its first turn, so that Italy can get the IPC on its first turn.  Germany can try to knock out 3 or 4 of the 5 neutral infantry, but leave at least 1 infantry as a favor to Italy.  If you retreat the Germans to Romania, the infantry in Greater Southern Germany are now positioned to attack Russia too.

I appreciate that!

1. Can I get an example?
2. When is it best to use?
3. Why it’s important?

Thank you

A few questions I need answered and it’s greatly appreciated!

1. If someone places a DD in a sea zone in front of your big navy, are you allowed to take out the destroyer with just a few necessary ships during combat move and then subsequently move the rest of your navy into the zone where the enemy DD was and then past it?

Do you have to stop or can you continue your fully alloted 2 or 3 non combat moves past that one zone?

2. Can a damaged Battleship do offshore bombardment?
