chrisp -> Objectives & Planning (11/5/2004 5:12:28 PM)
A coupla questions about objectives... Does setting an objective only benefit amphibious assaults? Suppose I want to march overland from Port Moresby to Buna. Does it do any good to set Buna as a Future objective? How about a unit I want to leave in Port Moresby. Does it do any good to set PM as an objective for the unit even though it's already there?

(1) I believe preplanning speeds overland travel rate. (2) I believe having a destination set to current base will increase defense value of the unit at that base.

quote: (1) I believe preplanning speeds overland travel rate. Not sure about that, but planning does benefit all combat in the objective hex, whether as attacker or defender. A "nearby" HQ unit (whatever that means) having planned that objective will also help - p 147 in the printed manual.

The objective tab does provide a combat bonus for an attacker. It is particularily evident for the defender if he is defending a base to which he has fully "prepared" for.

I've always wondered if objective planning only has effect on the objective. In other words if I set an objective, wait till my planning pts get to 100, set off by road to get there, and then meet the enemy one hex short of my objective. Do I get any bonus at all for fighting in the vicinity of the objective or does it only apply if I'm on the objective.

dtravel -> RE: Objectives & Planning (11/5/2004 9:27:54 PM)
Until and unless someone in the know says otherwise, I would assume that units get no bonus for being "near" their objective.

pasternakski -> RE: Objectives & Planning (11/5/2004 9:32:56 PM)
I think you're right about that, dtravel. One other thing. I wish you could set open country hexes as objectives. There are several natural defensive positions (the hex NE of Rangoon, for example) that it would be nice to augment.

Nikademus -> RE: Objectives & Planning (11/5/2004 10:18:00 PM)
you only get the bonus at the base hex you are planning for. sorry

Halsey -> RE: Objectives & Planning (11/5/2004 10:54:29 PM)
Neither side gets a bonus. So look at it as a straight up dogfight. HQ's are your only option for a combat bonus outside of a base hex.[;)]

moses -> RE: Objectives & Planning (11/5/2004 11:19:39 PM)
Thats what I thought. Would be useful to be able to set non bases as objectives.

Halsey -> RE: Objectives & Planning (11/5/2004 11:25:59 PM)
That option would really help the Chinese Army. It's probably too much to ask for though. It would be a real pain keeping track of which units planned for what hex. Let's see was that 63,42 or was it 42, 63.[:D]
