Unit placement question

Hi!
So the first question is - can you use destroyers as transports for lightning assaults? It seems like you should be able to, but it’s kind of unclear.

The second scenario: We have a transport attacking one territory and then lightning assaulting to a different territory and are wondering if - on the second attack - we can bring in planes that did not participate in the first battle. And also if a battleship waiting in the harbor of the second attack can bombard for that second assault.

Thanks!

Okay, send me a private message when you’re free to start a forum game. The conditions would probably be when someone surrenders, I don’t really pay a lot of attention to Victory Cities either. I think I’ll bid 8 to take the Axis. That means if you want to play the Axis, then you get to place 7 IPC’s in units before the game begins or you play the Allies and I place 8 IPC’s in units before the game starts.

I can see how the Axis would struggle if they transport out of Africa rather than taking Egypt on G1.

Thanks!

I thought as much!

thanks the FAQ is a big help

Another reason it isn’t a bad idea is b/c like on Gleemax you have time limits on turn movement.  As Japan most of the time I have a lot of logistics to move around and can’t do that as fast as other players.  I’m sure the US is in the same boat (ha ha  :lol: I made it funny).  So that balances it out.

The bad thing is if you want to undo that non-combat move you did in the combat phase you can’t.  So you should always try to make your moves in the correct order.

Subs rule!
Just wish I could afford to buy more for Germany.
  I playtested a strat in the on-line gaming on the TripleA site where I defended Western Europe and bought an IC there on G2. The whole purpose of the IC in western Europe was to place subs in the 3 adjacent sea zones as needed! Specifically to keep UK from loading up troops and going into the Baltic to invade. It also played havoc in the western Med for allied shipping there as well.
Really competant allied players, with a great amount of patience usually overcame this expensive defensive strat. But others were so frustrated by it, that they usually capitulated by turn 7 or 8.  :-D

Thank you for that Grime, saved me the effort :-)
