Status: offline 		I don't think just beach hexes. There are other part land and part sea hexes that are not beach hexes. If you click on a naval unit you can see which hexes it can be moved to. Note that likely some of them (that are not beaches or ports) can also be occupied by a land unit.

Status: offline 		Why not defense and attack bonus when in same hex and (reduced) attack bonus when 1 hex out? The latter could portrait support in planned offensives. I don't think there should be a defensive 1-hex bonus in the opponent's turn. Of course there were occasions when fire was called in, but on this scale it would be too much if you could always count on it.

Status: offline 		It's a good idea but doesn't solve the gamey issue I am contenting with this decision.

What stops the Allies from parking a fleet next to every hex for support all the time. I would.

As far as parking them everywhere, hmm, probably wouldn't matter except in terribly thin locations where the Axis or Allies have to protect a narrow corridor or location like Gibraltar. But add something in the game someone will exploit it!
