I noticed it was your first post after I answered:
Welcome!
We all love 1940 here, so glad you are playing it.
Can transports be taken as casualties during a amphibious assult?
No they cannot, because they aren’t technically “involved” as far as the trading of ammunition.
Exactly. If the sea zone is clear, their job is done.
thanks
If a battle occurs before the assault then yes they may, but their cargo goes down with them…
