I am preparing to make a large amphibious landing on Guam. Is it best to break it up into 2-3 waves ?
Guam has 25K troops
Thanks

Oh yes, ask the same question twice.

When I posted first time it said it had timed out and incorrectly thought it had not posted.

Yeah, unintended multiple thread creation is an issue I've been seeing on a lot of forum pages lately. Usually, at some point a moderator comes along and cleans them up.

One main wave with all of your combat units, then have your support units that will build up the base stay on ships.

Or, have an initial "wave" of troops land by fast transport so the main invasion will then be treated as reinforcements and not as the initial assault.

You are welcome.

The units that land by a fast transport TF will not trigger a shock attack. They could even land the turn prior. The landing should trigger an automatic bombardment attack by any enemy units. Your fast transport TF will bombard, you can even put battleships in that task force.
