Ships can take over islands, right?


  • Ships can take over islands right? Like the Philippines, a Japanese destroyer can let’s say hit the infantry and it dies, so the island is taken over by Japan? And if so, can ships take over the mainland of Japan? Because last game Japan had tanks and infantry on the island, but I also had a whole fleet there. So who wins? And how do you resolve the combat in those types of situations? Thanks in advance, and also please an answer with 3-5 sentences instead of saying 1 sentence.

    No.

    Only land units can take islands, after performing an amphibious assault. The seazone has to be cleared in a sea battle before. After that transports can unload land units into the hostile territory. Land battle occurs when they meet enemy units there. Air units can support the sea battle, other air units can support the land battle. See pages 12 and 14 of the rulebook.


  • Thanks, got a little confused.
