The rehabilitation of cruisers and the 4-4-7

[surfer]

@andrewaagamer Just a quick clarification. Why can only 3 CAs bombard if 4 guys are conducting an amphib assault? I thought the rule was one-for-one.

If there was NOT a combat in the sea zone from which you are offloading units from transports, any accompanying battleships and cruisers in that sea zone can conduct a one-time bombardment of one coastal territory or island group being attacked. The number of ships that can make bombardment attacks is limited to 1 ship per land unit being offloaded from the transports in that coastal territory.

@surfer Because the battleship is shooting instead of the 4th cruiser.

@crockett36 To double the attack as you propose you really should use a bomber, 6 fighters plus 2 tactical. The 8 planes can round robin on the two carriers to achieve a 48 attack:
BB, 3 CA, 6 Ftr, 2 Tac, Bmb, 4 infantry = 47 plus one surviving infantry at 1 = 48.

Yep agree here. Always bring the maximum payload if u can.

Note that much of that material is given to America in the set up. A big goal here is to increase the number of allied ships and planes and decrease the number of transports thus infantry. The ships and planes will accrue multiple kills and theoretically few casualties.

I’m aware of Aa guns, Italians reinforcing, etc. Until i can figure out how to have a more efficient shuttle and an unbreakable flotilla, I choose flotilla and the 1-3-2-2-4-2-1. Bb-cr-infantry-art-fig-tac-bom. The 447 sounded better.
