Regarding the battle at Palembang. I could have sworn i had the attack set to deliberate. There were two regiments and part of the 1st raiding paratroopers in the attack. If i still had some paratroopers dropping into the hex could they have been enough to change the deliberate attack to a shock attack?


I believe any paradrop makes the subsequent attack a shock attack. I generally try to time my paradrops so that they arrive at the same time as other forces, but I can't recall ever *not* seeing a shock attack with a paradrop.

I'm wondering if i should take a chance at a shock attack considering the values here. I've been bombing everyday so the forts can't be any more than what they start at. any ideas? ive cut off a lot so i don't think anything is moving in.

The combat reports I've seen just show "shock attack."

It seems units that just moved into the hex (and thus did not have combat orders) will attack when the paras do. If that isn't what is happening then I've beaten a good IJA division with an understrength para brigade at least once... :-)
It is certainly possible that if a unit is already in the hex (with combat orders) it will execute those instead of shock attacking.

I think that only the paratroopers would shock attack unless the other units were ordered to shock attack. If their orders were to deliberate attack, then that is what they would do.


The combat reports I've seen just show "shock attack."

It seems units that just moved into the hex (and thus did not have combat orders) will attack when the paras do. If that isn't what is happening then I've beaten a good IJA division with an understrength para brigade at least once... :-)
It is certainly possible that if a unit is already in the hex (with combat orders) it will execute those instead of shock attacking.


If any of the units has Shock attack, the report will show Shock attack, even though individual units will do whatever they are ordered to.

Paradrop, amphibious landing at a an atol and river crossing (if the hex you attack doesn't have 3 times the assault value of the units that cross) will trigger Shock attack for the units that do that. Did your division cross a river to enter Palembrang (sp?)?

Status: offline 		It all depends what he has in Singapore and what level you believe his forts to be. If you have it cut off and no more of his troops can enter it and you are bombing it daily to keep forts construction suppressed you can wait until you have the 3rd Division to make the crossing. One no no is to have a lot of Rgts try to cross instead of building them back into their parent Divisions since Division are much stronger than there 3 separate Rgts crossing at the same time.
