ORIGINAL: Whiskey I have an Inf. Rgt ready to move to Lunga but I much rather and really need them elsewhere at this moment as Lunga is already captured and secure. Rather then select another objective and wait for the 100% prep time can I just drop them at the needed destination without changing it in the unit screen? And will they suffer penalties from such a move? Thanks in advance If you already own the other destination, no problem. If you are the Japanese before April 1, 1942 - no problemo. If the enemy owns the other objective and your assault is by amphib landing, expect at least 15% destroyed devices and up to 45% more disabled on landing. The remainder will have high fatigue and disruption. Morale will also be in the toilet. If it is an atoll which requires a shock attack on landing, the unit will destroy itself against the weakest of defences. If you can wait for several turns for the fatigue, disruption and disablements to reduce, you might be able to make a go of it. Keep in mind your raw Assault Value (AV) will be reduced during combat calculations because the unit has no prep for the target. The only realistic way to handle this is to prep the unit well - certainly over 50 points of prep. Part of the challenge of the game is to ID units you want to start prepping for targets three months ahead of time and save up the PP to buy them and their leader out if needed. This is one of the many planning challenges in the game. You only need to get it "approximately right". No one has a crystal ball to precisely say what the situation will be in three months. AV is not reduced due to lack of preparation when attacking. Preparation is used solely for reducing casualties/disablements during landings and base defense. To OP, I would recommend changing the target to wherever you intend to land now, unless you are Japan prior to 4/1/1942. You can land with less than 100% prep (often much less) without incurring massive penalties on the landing. If it is an atoll, I would not recommend landing unless you have 100% prep.
