@domanmacgee gotcha - and just a heads up, armor don’t absorb hits on an amphibious assault so I have to edit that off too.

@domanmacgee

huh…I’ve never read that interpreting it as only applicable to the pre-invasion artillery strikes but, yes I am fairly certain it is meant to be applicable to amphibious attacks:

However, just to make sure I have it right, I will ask him a clarifying question.

G13.tsvg the presence of the UK tank ended up mattering not at all. I will let you know when we get the answer though.

@domanmacgee when you get a chance, I would really like to know what it was like being on the Entente. What stood out? Do you feel there were any blunders on either side? And of course, would you like to play again - perhaps after a brief rest?

Either way, just know that I’m very thankful for you taking the time to stack games of this with me. It has been invaluable.
