@yucatan:
For example:
- in the combat phase, I have a TRN in the zone A. I want to move the TRN from A to B, load two INFs, then move to C and unload. Can I make this move?
- Or, again, move TRN from A to C, then bridge two INFs from X to Y across C
- And again, move TRN from A to B, load two INFs, back to A and unload?
Yes, all three are legal moves assuming there are no enemy ships in your way.
In combat phase, your land units would then have to engage in land combat of course.
But you can also doing this during Non-Combat per that quote you had about Japan and Bury. It is perfectly legal to move a tran from the Fic sz to sz 60 then load 2 inf and drop them off in Bury.
Another example would be to move a trn to pick up the Inf on the Phil Is and unload them onto mainlain Asia.
I see where in the unit profile it kind of gets confusing.
The part you quote is wrong:
â€transports can’t move before load or after unloadâ€.
It should read this:
“Loading onto or offloading from a transport counts as a land units enitre move; it cannot move before loading or after unloading”
This refers to the land units that board the trns, not the trns itself. IE you CANNOT move a tank 1 space to board a trn or say offload a tank in Egy, then move it one more square.
Look right below that in the “Loading and Offloading” part (page 23 trn profile):
“A transport can load cargo, before, during or after its move……”
Hope this helps.
Edit:
I should add this though, once a transport unloads its cargo then it CANNOT move after that.
IE, a trn from UK moves 1 space to sz 5 to unload 2 inf in Kar, the transport cannot move back to sz 6 after it drops off the inf, it must stay in sz 5.
