Also, if Germany were attacked all the defending infantry would be at +3 wouldn’t they? (e.g., +1 for VC ID and +2 for IC ID). We weren’t playing with that either.
yes thats correct on the first round only. I do know that artillery defending fire in the first round as preemptive.
Attacking Battleship, Destroyer (and optional unit Cruiser) may choose to roll for offshore bombardment.
Offshore bombardment is limited to one roll for every four offloaded land units. Each ship performing
rolling for offshore bombardment increases Infantry or Airborne Infantry’s attack by 1 on a 1-to-1 basis.
Defending Infrastructure Defense performs offshore bombardment against ships rolling for offshore bombardment
or enemy Transport. The procedure is the same as Anti-Air [ on page 8]. Each Infrastructure
Defense increases Infantry’s defense by 1 on a 1-to-1 basis.
One thing on invading mountain terrain or small islands you can only invade with 2 land units.
Land units must stop on entering desert, snowy, or mountainous terrain. Tank (and optional unit Mechanized
Infantry) may not blitz through them. Defending land units in snowy or mountainous terrain have defense
increased by 1 in first cycle of combat. Small territories such as Gibraltar cannot be occupied by more than
2 units and cannot be attacked by more than 2 land units.
It should actually read small islands and territories. The SMALL islands are the obvious ‘groups of dots’
Midway
Hawaii
Solomons
Marchall islands
Azores
Malta
Okinawa
Aleutians
not Indonesia or Borneo or ceylon etc…
