Shore bombardment

They cannot be taken as casualties under any circumstances other than being cargo on lost transports.

Welcome to the forum, chaikov.

You read it correctly, in Revised OOB only land units can be hit by Shore Bombardment, that excludes airplanes.

Air units can be additionally hit starting from the Revised LHTR ruleset and in later games.

HTH :-)

Klop is not a dog. bbbbbbbbbbbbbbooooooooooooommmmmmmmmmm!!!

ai. I’ve been playing it wrong. But I’m gonna change that tonight:)

thanks a lot Krieghund!

Thanks!

I thought as much!

@DarthMaximus:

Did you happen to have 2 battleships (Japan)?

In this case you could chose 1 bb to bom one place and the 2nd to bom another.

I’m not sure why TripleA would allow it.
But a singular BB can bombard only one territory, you can choose which one, but you shouldn’t be getting a singular shot in multiple battles.

Actually your right, I did have 2 Battleships, but now you got me thinking as to whether I allocated each Battleship to bombard separate territories. Given that this situation never crossed my mind uptil then, I may well have just clicked the default settings given to me without paying closer attention to how the Battleships were allocated…

But thanx either way for clearing this up for me  :-) (I’ll pay closer attention on triple-A next time… I might even try re-simulating the situation and see how the program handles it  :wink: )

Well that all depends on what you guys are offering before I toss JC back into the pot.

@ncscswitch:

To be honest though, I think it is such an exceedingly rare occurance that I don;t think it will be an issue in 999 games out of 1000.

Agreed

And I still like the “logic” of not being able to blast away Parisian INF from the Normandy Coast; or Chicago National Guard Units from the Virginia coast…

Yeah, that is kinda wonky.  But no more so than some of the other abstractions the game makes.
