Sea unit non combat move into SZ with hostiles

@RYNO87 said in Particular Combat movements for Subs and Planes:

Let’s say a sea unit retreats in their combat move from 1 hostile SZ into another hostile SZ with less enemies, does combat have to commence?

Combat will result in any case in which units from opposing sides are in the same space during the Combat phase, regardless of how they got there.

@Iisded If G has its forces placed to keep the R stack in WR, as it should, then trading Karelia, Ukraine and Caucasus. At some point G will capture Karelia in sufficient strength to hold it, but that is not the death-knell for R. Then R must block Archangel every turn to stop any tanks in Karelia reaching Moscow.

If G (or J) manage to hold Caucasus and start to build there, then the writing is probably on the wall for Moscow.

So my R stack will stay in WR unless any of the following happens:

Against a poor G player R will gradually gain a sufficient advantage to start to use its mobile units (supported by sufficient infantry) to kill off any smaller invading forces without those mobile units then being at risk.

But these moves are what I do against my opponents. I taught all of them to play so their moves are constrained by my guidance. I do not want to pretend that this covers every eventuality that other opponents might present.

@TRONOR:

If I understand correctly, “all units must attack & defend together”

Not really. During Combat Move Phase …

@rulebook:

All combat movement is considered to take place at the
same time. …

@TRONOR:

Suppose that i will attack from my zone to the adjacent zone that contains no enemy units but enemy controlled.
But next zone has enemy units.

1. At this situation my infantry unit attacks using 1 movement point to the empty enemy zone,occupied it and stops there.
2. My tank unit using 2 movement points, uses blitzing ability crossing the empty enemy zone,separated from infantry,
  and finally attacks next zone that contains enemy units.
3- Remaining unit: 1 fighter unit; I don’t want to attack my fighter unit to the same enemy that my tank have attacked yet.
  For example i want to attack another zone, another enemy unit.

You may move your units separately into different hostile territories.
So your tank may blitz as intended and your fighter can attack elsewhere.
But all those moves are “considered to take place at the same time”.

HTH :-)

Thank you for the quick info on this. I thought you could, but i just wanted to make sure.

Thanks a ton, Calvin!

@Variable:

Yeah, I ended up doing 3 copies myself. It worked out well for my customized AA50 set. Should work numbers-wise for a G40 set as well.

Good to know thanks for the info.

This should be stickied… had to dig to find this, since it’s different than a lot of places say the units are.

Bah just plop some Aircraft carriers with fighters on them and use them as an impregnable fighter base that can only be attacked by other air units.
