Dumb question of the day

[stretch]

How do I get a land unit that unloads to attack in the same turn? I can't set any offensive orders while the unit is aboard ship, and I know the AI unloads and attacks me in the same turn resolution.

[Mike Solli]

You can't. If you invade an atoll you'll automatically shock attack the turn you invade.

ah ok that clears up how I invade an atoll when I cant set an immediate attack.. thanks.

You won't need to set the atoll attack. It is automatic.
Every turn you unload troops it will initiate a shock attack.[;)]

Key point for new players! If you do NOT want a shock attack repeatedly at an atoll, ensure your transports will unload all troops the first day....

Key tactic here:

Make sure they arrive at night so you get 2 unloading phases before the ground combat takes place!
