Damaged battleship shore bombard?

@barnee thanks heaps!

@mikemikemike
the sea battle occurs before the amphibious assualt.

If you want to kill the transport… in a (very one-sided) naval battle, all naval units fight together+any air. You don’t get to pick units. Only air has that option.

Thus, no bombard.

Triple A illustrates the transport issue pretty well by having you ‘roll’ for a hit on even an unprotected transport.

Or… it helps to remember a scenario where a larger naval battle is going on and the defenders have 2 or more transports. If the attackers hit enough to kill all defenders and have +1 hit it gets assigned to a transport even if the defenders return enough hits to kill all the attackers so an attacker might kill some but not all transports.

Repairs take place during “Phase 1: Purchase & Repair Units”. It does not affect movement of the repaired unit in later combat and noncombat move phases in any way.

@Caesar:

Does the rules actually say what happens to a major that is bombed out so bad that downgrading will automatically destroy it due to having more damage than what a minor can hold or are we just applying logic here? Because if that’s the case, you might want to welcome the enemy to bomb your factory if you’re going to lose it.

Pg 21 Europe 2nd ed rulebook
“Any damage previously inflicted on a facility remains in
place until it is repaired (any damage markers beyond 6
on former major industrial complexes are removed).”

We just ran into this last night.

pg 21
Any damage previously inflicted on a facility remains in
place until it is repaired (any damage markers beyond 6
on former major industrial complexes are removed).

In addition from the unit profiles pg 27
A damaged minor complex may not be upgraded, so any damage on the industrial complex must be repaired at the same time that the upgrade is purchased.

They can only ask the Germans for permission to do so,  Germany can grant or deny this movement.

Regardless of the German decision, Russia stay’s neutral.

Your understanding is correct, MarkVIIIMarc.  However, in scenario 2 the UK player has no casualty options that won’t result in stranding the fighter.  Since sub hits must be taken on sea units, the only casualty options are the one you chose or taking both hits on the carrier, dooming both fighters.  At any rate, taking the hit on the carrier and stranding the fighter is always an option.
