@SS-GEN said in Can Transport prevent shore bombardment:
So now a enemy transport out on sea can absorb a shore shot ? No way ?
Or you meant something else barnee?
I think what Barnee meant was that leaving a transport behind to cover a sea zone might be a way to keep your enemies from from being able to do a shore bombardment with their amphibious invasion. This technique would require waiting for your opponent to declare a combat against the transport in addition to the amphibious invasion and then stopping them when they go to do the shore bombardment to point out that those cruisers and battleships must take part in attack against the transport.
In short, it’s gaming the rules coming and going and isn’t guaranteed to work once and certainly won’t work twice against the same opponent. But it’s amazing what a little chutzpah will get you sometimes.
