Amphibious assaults can be done in two steps, consisting of a sea battle and a land battle. In your example, both the cruiser and the transport would attack the destroyer. If the attackers win, the transport can offload and the land battle will occur. If the transport ends up retreating (or being sunk), the land battle will not occur and the transport may not offload.
Couple of sub questions
-
Does the presence of a sub make a Sea zone hostile?
I am asking on context of non-combat movement.I think you can’t non-combat into a sea zone with a sub (and drop units).
Also:
Does a sub STOP a DD from moving through the SZ? I don’t believe so. -
