Another q about the battle ship.
It may not participate in a sea battle, and then conduct shore bombardment.
However, I do have to move all my pieces in the combat move phase before delivering battle.
So the battle ship will be in the same sea zone if I plan on attacking a fleet + an amphibious assault.
If I decide that my battleship is going to conduct shore bombardment, it may not fire during the sea battle prior to the amphibious assault.
But is it allowed to take hits in the sea battle?
I mean, it is right there in the area. It can take 2 shots, so can it take 1, and then, when I win the sea battle, can it still conduct shore bombardment?
(For instance…bad example though: G1, Amphibious assault on Anglo Egypt.
The UK Destroyer is in the way, but I want my Battleship to bombard the main land during the landing, so I have two fighters from Europe take on the Destroyer. If the Destroyer places a hit, I have my Battleship take it, so I dont lose anything.
Can the Battleship then still bombard the shore after I sunk the Destroyer with my fighters?)
