Amphibious landings

Battles In Normandy is the third game in the Decisive Battles game series. Battles in Normandy recreates all aspects of the Normandy campaign, from the landings on the first day to the final climax of the campaign at Falaise. Strategic Studies Group rewrote the Decisive Battles game engine for Battles in Normandy with a host of new special rules for amphibious and airborne operations, plus a huge number of other enhancements.

Amphibious landings

Post by Chris21wen »

I can't work out why its better to land a group of units as opposed to a single unit as it implies in the tutorial. Reading the manual/tutorial indicates to me that the odds are the same irresective of the number of units landing, or is this another case of a badly writen instruction manual.

Its not possible to land a group of units. You have to land each unit individually.

Tutorial instructs you to move one unit and land it... on a tough landing beach. You then land the other two units of that formation on the tough landing beach.

The second stack moves to a hex where landing is easy. There you land each unit individually.
