Can transports be chosen as casualties during amphibious assaults? Do they even go on the battle board?

For the sea battle, yes; for the land battle, no.

Welcome to the forum, chaikov.

You read it correctly, in Revised OOB only land units can be hit by Shore Bombardment, that excludes airplanes.

Air units can be additionally hit starting from the Revised LHTR ruleset and in later games.

HTH :-)

Hi!
So the first question is - can you use destroyers as transports for lightning assaults? It seems like you should be able to, but it’s kind of unclear.

The second scenario: We have a transport attacking one territory and then lightning assaulting to a different territory and are wondering if - on the second attack - we can bring in planes that did not participate in the first battle. And also if a battleship waiting in the harbor of the second attack can bombard for that second assault.

Thanks!

I have done something very similar to this. My buddy knew I always go for Moscow first. This game I planned to. I bought 3 transports on G1. Made the med attack with the sub and med fleet.

G2 masses Germany navy in SZ7 took London. My buddy does the Ho-Chi-Men trail through the US to deter Japan from steping foot on the US mainland. In addition to this he built a navy once they got to E Canada (2 rounds later) he took and held London. I never got it back.

Had I not done some fast thinking with Japan on the US W coast Germany would have been toast.

I had a topic started about conducting Sealion every ones 8 ball said no b/c Germany needs help from Japan. So I think you would have more luck with a Canadian Sheild then you would with a Sealion.

The plexiglass idea works very well.

I used to have a large sheet of plexiglass that I had attached hex grid to the underside of for use when playing AD&D. A sheet for a “sliding glass door” replacement panel is a standard size that you can get at a home improvement store and measures about 33" by 75". I think I had paid about $25 for the last one I bought (circa 1997)

With the plexiglass, you are going to want to also get some small felt “feet” (the little self adhesive felt disks) while you are at Lowe’s and put those on the corners, and a few along the edges. That will help preent sliding, and will protect your table top.

If a transport LOADS during Combat movement, it must OFFLOAD in Combat Movement also (i.e. amphib assault).

Yes, you can do the move described in the first post (move, then load, then offload).

I believe the theory behind not allowing transports to offload in two territories is the fact that deployment into significantly different areas will take time. For example - if you have a division in Alaska, and another in Western Canada, and there are no enemies nearby, you could meet up halfway and get on a transport. But if you are on a transport and offloading, that transport would have to sail to a different region to offload troops in any geographically significant other location. So FUNCTIONALLY, the transport can only offload into one territory.

besides,
If they had a defense of zero, I wouldn’t by manny trannies at the price of 8 IPC, it would just be to expensive when you would need to buy additional destroyers to defend against all those lurking bombers just waiting to make that move.
