@cernel That’s quite a loophole you’ve discovered. It’s things like this that made LHTR necessary. You are correct about point 1. Regarding point 2, I see nothing in the rules that would disallow attacking an unoccupied enemy-controlled territory with only air units.
Shore Bombardment vs Air units ?
-
The rules state Shore Bombardment works against LAND units. So defending air units can not be taken as casualties in for a hit ?
Thanks

In the original rules, I believe you’re right. The Larry Harris Tournament Rules amends it to allow for air units to be bombarded. See the bottom of page 12. http://www.axisandallies.org/files/AAR_LHTR_v2.0.pdf

Thanks for the info!
But, on p. 27 in the unit profiles, it says land units…

Fleetwood Dan is correct. It’s land units only in the box rules, and both land and air units in LHTR.
