its me again
ok so we played another game again today and we actually finished it, well to the point where the axis just gave up
and more questions came up again all of which i cant remember right now but a couple obvious one which i thought i would ask is
when yuor invading an island, say in the pacific, and the defending team has no ships but transport ships in the water territory sorounding that island, do you still need to send in a battle ship, cruiser etc to sink it and then wait for your next turn to make an invasion, or can you just ignore that transport ship (the logic being that they dont fire at you anyway and theyre empty) and just take your transport ships in and land without sending in “armed ships” to destroy the fleet of transports first?
also while were on trransports, in a sea battle can defending fleets take casualties on thir transports, even tho theyre not “part of the battle” because they dont fire? so what im saying is can you use them as cannon fodder for your more expensive ships? cause i always thought u just left them there on the map and when you lost all your other ships you automatically just loose the transports while my friend was argueing that they could be used to take hits in a naval battle, please clarify this for me, cheers.
