<![CDATA[Shore Bombardment]]>Hey everyone,

So there are a couple of things which I feel are not properly explained in the manual, or at least they are not clarified.

1. Can allied battleships take part in a shore bombardment? If German transports are conducting an amphibious assault, can Japanese battleships conduct shore bombardment to aid them if they are in the same sea zone?

2. Can you have a naval battle AND an amphibious assault during the same turn?

Thanks everyone.

2)  No.  If your fleet engages in a naval battle, then they may not simultaniously conduct shore bombardment.  If there are defending ships, then your warships are stuck fighting them to clear the way for your transports.
