RE: 4.2.3.2 Low odds attack

<t> Trying to figure out the derivation of the 1.20 combat ratio (0.200 fractional).<br/>
<br/>
The half odds are the key I think. (Not considering the Armor modifier in the below analysis).<br/>
<br/>
2:3 is 1:1.5 in half odds with a DRM of +1<br/>
1:1 is 1:1.0 in half odds with a DRM of +2<br ...

I checked the game file ...

Does rail movement of land and aircraft units work the same way as resource movement relative to ZOCs?

Nomad, thanks for the feedback. It worked when I changed the LCU’s command from China Expeditionary Army to Southern Area Army. So the aircraft restriction rule 7.1.2 referencing AC is also applicable to LCUs in that they can’t be transported. While it doesn’t say it, it certainly appears ...
