Howdy folks.

I've got some time on my hands and am looking for an opponent who wants to play Japan. I know that makes me one of the lazy many but I just don't have the bandwidth to give a competitive game as Japan the attention that the early part of the game requires. While I have multiple hours ...

Apologies, I should have noted in the text of the post that the unit being attacked was not in any base. It was on its own, in the field.

They attack ground units within range at commander's discretion. Unit orders are/were set to City Attack, range 20. Target was not set (I had transferred them and not re-set a target). No secondary orders such as Ground Attack - they were set to City/Rest.

So they did this.

city attack ground ...

I assume it'll be fixed on the next turn, lest I be stuck with 2 pixelated IJ aircraft duking it out on the west side of the map for 3 more years.

Actually, combat engineers CAN reduce fortifications. That's not a guarantee:

8.1.3 ENGINEERS
These units include Combat Engineers, Construction units (such as the famed U.S. Navy Sea
Bees), and Base Force units. All engineer squads and vehicles can construct and repair base
facilities. Combat ...

It allows land combat units to train and prepare for taking an objective. The higher the value the better trained they are. Unfortunately you can only select cities and bases as your target. It's on page 187 of the rules. The rules do much better at explaining than I can.


To clarify:

<r> I think the points system is great, so far as it goes, but that the victory conditions are miscalibrated. I think this is the result of it being essentially impossible to sufficiently play test the system as it was set up.<br/>
