New to A&A; movement 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!

Yes.

Well, the fighter CAN attack with ground troops might be a better way to put it.  It is up to the player what they want to assign to a battle.

For example, if you have to fight through enemy ships to do an amphibous landing, you can choose whether to have the fighters attack the enemy ships OR participate in the ground battle afterwards.

if it were free for all trading may work. you would need countries to have difernt units. like and japanese fighter defending on 5 and russian fighters on a 3. then russia could be like i’ll buy a japaese fighter for m japanfor 10 ipcs. japan would (if it were to trade) buy on figther and  put it on a transport or in a bomber. the transport/bomber would have to drop the fghter off somewhere in russia.

It happened a lot in Classic, but in Revised there’s almost always at least two ways to get where you want, usually 3 or 4.  (I think the only stumblers are Egypt/Trans-Jordan and Sinkiang/China.)

Thank you for the input folks!

I could not find anything either way in LHTR, and I have an old apparent House Rule from Classic that precluded such moves.

Appreciate the clarification!

JSP4563 You are correct.

It might be worth mentioning that BBs and AAs fire only once each combat and subs fires each round, to clear out any confusion for new players.

Subs always can only hit naval units. It doesn’t actually make a difference in which step they fire when an enemy destroyer is present, as long as you can keep track. I prefer to roll black die for subs, white die for fighters, and in this manner get 2 types of units rolled hopefully in one toss of the die.
