I have an opponent who insists on Amphing into non-base hexes. My question is, if he brings in Nav Sup units will they still help in unloading? If yes, at the same or reduced rate?

Thanks,

Mike

Yes, at the same rate as the ships being used on an island assault....GP

Some people have house rules against that but I don't agree. Especially if your opponent invades an island that has no base hex. Tease and taunt him into it if you can.

The sheer number of disablements...

That's funny, because I landed on Wake as USN and 3/4 of my stuff is disabled... I'm thinking that I forgot to land something with them...

Maybe you should try landing with the USMC or USArmy instead of the USN?

Seriously - Wake is an atoll and likely has high forts. You need tanks and combat engineers to support the infantry. Tank Destroyers are also excellent when you get them. But even with a good mix of troops, if you get bad weather and a bad die roll it can still disable a lot of troops.

lol actually I did, a USA Div, some tanks, combat ENG. Only problem was that they didn't all land the same day...

Moral to that story is beaching craft. You need them to assault atolls and ensure everything unloads IMMEDIATELY.

And have them prepped for that location.

As the Japanese player, after the first week or two I sometimes sacrifice prepping for location because of Allied intelligence capabilities. Like Trump, I want to be unpredictable.

I felt that way also, but noticed the disabled squads and disruption went up considerably when Amphing without prepping for that base.

The Japanese have the landing bonus until April 01,1942, so lack of prep should not result in much loss during the landing. That bonus does not help with the battle though, whereas actual prep does.
