Ah. I hadn’t understood that subtlety. It’s a bit like assuming that, as an attacker, I’m going to win - so, retreat isn’t an option. Thanks a lot for your help.
Auto-killing lone trannies
-
OK, I am fully aware that air/naval pieces can autokill trannies unescorted by defending warships. But how & when?
May the attacking force:
-
…move through the seazone containing the trannies, autokill them, and then move further (into a ‘real’ battle for example)
-
…move through the seazone in noncombat movement phase, autokill the trannies, and move further ? (for example, air returning from a battle)
…I’ve got some other situation in mind. I’ll get back with them too…

I am pretty sure the auto-kill is considered to be an actual battle.
So it is just with other battles, only allowed in Combat Movement. -
It counts as combat see the side bar on page 19 of the rulebook.
-
OK, so it’s a combat move.
But can you continue moving, after the autokill? -
No. Just like you cannot keep moving your tank after you kill a defending AA Gun or Industrial Complex.

Whew,
I was afraid that this topic was about mowing down those guys wearing dresses and high heels. I mean - they’re worth about 10 points apiece (more if they are aware you are aiming your car at them), but it seemed really politically incorrect. -
A44bigdog and Jennifer are correct. Destroying a defenseless transport is a combat action. It requires a dedicated battle to accomplish it, so all combat movement must be completed before doing so.
