Can ID fire during multiple Phases or even Sequences within Phases.
Say I’m in Land Combat Phase and I have the following attacks unfolding in Western Europe:
Air Mission:
1 BOM performing SBR with 2 FTR escorts
Amphibious Assault:
2 FTR supporting an Amphibious Assault of 2 ARM, 2 INF
1 BB providing Shore Bombardment
2 AP’s supporting the Amphibious Assault
If you got multiple thing running in the same territory, then ID rolls each of these actions seperatly as ID rolls are allowed. They will roll against invasions, and again against SBR You perform these functions with SBR first, followed by actions that may change the outcome of the ownership of the territory.
Does the ID get to fire during all 3 different phases of combat:
- Air Missions are resolved before normal combat
– ID can attempt to shoot down something
- FTR in Land Combat
– ID gets to fire during every “Opening Fire” sequence
- Amphibious Assault
– ID gets to perform offshore bombardment
yes in each case ID fires…
I was always under the impression that each attacking unit can be involved in only one combat per turn – but, in this case an ID could get three shots off because it is involved in 3 different combats.
Id is not really a “unit” but a token air/amphibious defense and can represent a few different types of defenses
Am I reading too much into this?
yes indeed…
Should each ID be required to declare what Combat roll it will focus it’s efforts on? Or is it just a special piece that has many roles.
Its not that hard… ID rolls when you perform the types of missions that may involve ID rolls… their is no tricks, where you perform some weak mission in order to ‘save’ other units from ID attacks.
