Transports

[McMan]

This situation popped up today. My friend had a transport with an infantry and an AA gun ready to attack the Philippines. The AA gun can't perform combat, so does he just offload the infantry during the combat move then the AA gun during the noncombat? Just in general, does a transport have to offload all its units into one territory during either the combat or noncombat move? For instance, could a transport load two units, move one space for an amphibious assault, drop off one unit in the assault, then move one more space for noncombat and drop off the other unit in a friendly territory? Or, could it drop off each of its units in a separate territory if the seazone it was in was adjacent to both, for instance, sz 20, Kiangsi and Kwantung? Can a transport pick up a second unit after it dropped off its first one?

Once a transport offloads, it's done for the turn.  It can't do anything else.  It may only offload into one territory.

Well found another thing we have done wrong.  Is this something new to Pacific or have I been playing it wrong for some time?

I have played that one infantry can go to one area and another to another.

It has always been that way.  Also, if my memory serves me correct, AA guns can only be moved during non combat.

As I read the rules, AA-guns can only move during non-combat, so in this case the tranny offloads one infantry during amphibious assault, and then have to wait until next turn to offload the AA-gun, right ?

[Captain Crunch]

No, because the amphibious is a combat and AA gun cannot move during combat movement, non combat only.   Krieg, can you clarify that for us.

The AA Gun can move with a transport during a combat move, if it was loaded on a previous turn. (page 25)

[Captain Crunch]

Yes, absolutely, if it was loaded on the previous turn.

[Krieghund]

Yes, but it still can only unload during noncombat movement.

[dinosaur]

Could it unload during the noncombat move of the same turn?

[moompix]

Once a transport offloads, it's done for the turn.  It can't do anything else. ...

If it moved in the combat move phase, it can't move in the non-combat phase.

[dinosaur]

Even if the player wants to offload during noncombat into the same space?

So if the tranny offloads an infantry in combat, then it is done for the turn, and the AA-gun is stuck on the tranny until next turn, right ?

[Krieghund]

Yes.
