About Combat Movement Phase

@drice_new

I was confused by the rules for a while regarding that. I thought it was each group (all units that hit a 1, all units that hit at 2) roll for all the units.

When I moved on to Global 1940 and brought that mistake with me, it led to a problem where 12 US bombers (give or take) were unable to sink a Japanese fleet of 1 aircraft carrier, 1 destroyer, 2 fighters, and 1 battleship.

I figured it out later on, and I’ve been playing correctly for a year.

Sorry about the bump post, I’ll wait 24 hrs next time.

There is no “24 hours-rule”. Bumps are “banned” by our Forum Rules.

There are some capable users willing to help and answer your questions - so just be patient please.

Well, that explains why I rarely see “bumps” around here… Just trying to do the right thing.

@Private-Panic said in Attacking multiple territories in one combat move?:

Also subs not involved in combat can move into hostile sea zones in which there is no enemy destroyer present.

A small correction: Subs can even move into seazones containing an enemy destroyer:
Rulebook, 1941, page 20:

Submarines: Unlike other sea units, submarines can move through and even into hostile sea zones during this phase.
However, a submarine must end its movement when it enters a sea zone containing one or more enemy destroyers.

@jwarf Welcome to the forum :slightly_smiling_face:

@Midnight_Reaper

Thanks you so much for your response this was very helpful. I completely understand.

@TRONOR:

If I understand correctly, “all units must attack & defend together”

Not really. During Combat Move Phase …

@rulebook:

All combat movement is considered to take place at the
same time. …

@TRONOR:

Suppose that i will attack from my zone to the adjacent zone that contains no enemy units but enemy controlled.
But next zone has enemy units.

1. At this situation my infantry unit attacks using 1 movement point to the empty enemy zone,occupied it and stops there.
2. My tank unit using 2 movement points, uses blitzing ability crossing the empty enemy zone,separated from infantry,
  and finally attacks next zone that contains enemy units.
3- Remaining unit: 1 fighter unit; I don’t want to attack my fighter unit to the same enemy that my tank have attacked yet.
  For example i want to attack another zone, another enemy unit.

You may move your units separately into different hostile territories.
So your tank may blitz as intended and your fighter can attack elsewhere.
But all those moves are “considered to take place at the same time”.

HTH :-)

Thank you for the quick info on this. I thought you could, but i just wanted to make sure.

@Red:

…
I attack German Held West Russia with all units from Karelia, Archangel and the Tanks and fighter from Russia and Caucasus

Say after 1 round of attack, I have killed two German Infantry leaving 1.   I want to retreat after reducing the enemy force concentration.

The rules read that all units must withdraw to one friendly place.  I choose Archangel.  
So the infantry are then done moving having used 1 movement to the attack. (And since I committed everyone from Karelia, the space is now empty).

The tanks should still have 1 movement available each so I could move them to Russia?  The Fighter has 3 movement so I could place it at Russia or Caucasus?

Just trying to understand the movement rules for retreating.  not saying I like the attack scenario itself!

@Bob77:

All the units would retreat together, to a territory where they came from.
Since you had units in the attack from archangel, you may choose archangel. BUT all retreating units must go to archangel, tanks and fighters too.
If you had the same scenario, but had amphibious troops as well, the amphibious troops may not retreat but all others may go to archangel.

From the rulebook:

@rulebook:

Condition B�Attacker Retreats
The attacker (never the defender) can retreat during this step.
Land and Sea Units: Move all attacking land and sea units in that combat that are along the battle strip to a single adjacent
friendly space from or through which at least one of the original attacking land or sea units moved. In the case of sea units,
that space must have been friendly at the start of the turn. All such units must retreat together to the same space, regardless of
where they came from.

Air Units: Retreating air units remain in the contested space temporarily. They complete their retreat movement during the
Noncombat Move phase using the same rules as air units involved in a successful battle.

So remaining land units retreat together to a single adjacent friendly space from or through which at least one of the original attacking land unit came from.

Air units retreat independently during Non Combat Move Phase being allowed to use all their remaining movement points,

so yes to
@Red:

The Fighter has 3 movement so I could place it at Russia or Caucasus?

but no to
@Red:

The tanks should still have 1 movement available each so I could move them to Russia?

as no unit - except air units - may move during as well Combat Move Phase as Noncombat Move Phase.

I can give you those instruction too if you want Wraith ….

1. Get the girl of your dreams drunk.
2. Give up on her and find someone less choosy …

etc! :-D
