Sea Units moving out of contested zones

Control of the island doesn’t change if it’s a tie.

Check pages 4 and 5 of the rulebook.

It’s a free shot, just as ships bombarding islands are free shots.  Artillery can only be hit during the Attack Land Units step.

Ok, so an empty (US) island on which the japanese land a single AA gun without backing it up with bombardment remains in US hands? Damn, then I missed out on one more INF on my last turn assault…

:-D Thanks. I guess I’m getting the hang of this game!

I like Guadalcanal too. I like BOTB better but this one is pretty tasty too.

Me too.  We were using one supply token for every ship sent and only sending them during the resupply phase.  We were spending huge amounts of money getting ships onto the board.  No wonder our game was dragging on way past turn five.
