No. All Atolls get a shock attack. Plus, all non-atoll islands that are size 1 or 2 get a shock attack.

I think it's size 1 and 2 and atolls as well, but I could be wrong.

Grab BFH from toolbox. Apply to big toe. The pulsations will disappear. [:'(]

This is beginning to make some sense. Christmas Is (Kiribati), for eg., is a substantial island in terms of surface area but it would still offer no unopposed landing area even with a few hundred defenders, so it would make sense to insist upon the shock attack rule even for a big atoll.

Light "application" didn't seem to do much. Trying more energetic appliation now. I'll get back to you.

Cap Mandrake,

I apologise - not one of my finest days.

Although this thread is not the original thread, it does deal with the island size auto shock attack.

tm.asp?m=2570575&mpage=1&key=atoll%2Cshock&#2570878

In summary, you experience an auto shock attack if either of these conditions exist:

(a) island is atoll (troop capacity is irrlevant) or

(b) island is not an atoll and for troop stacking calculation, is size 1 or 2 (ie troop capacity is 6k or 30k)

Not that I've been sued for malpractice (yet!), but I'd take DC&H as my defense team anytime! (I think NORCAL already has them signed up.)

Those guys know how to negotiate---I. D. C. reminds me of Uncle Billy Sherman when he was negotiating the surrender of Atlanta with the mayor who just had to keep holding out for a bit more...

I bet that when the 33rd gets cleared for assignment to SEAC, it is also announced that Buckingham Palace is a new Condo Conversion project owned by M&M Enterprises' Real Estate Development Division...

<puts on grammar police hat...hey - chicks dig them> "for eg" = redundant <takes off grammar police hat>

so the island size is a sort of atoll gate for shock attacks...check...

Ooh, a punne!

Well, it is the World's Worst AAR, ya know.

You need a motto. 'Proudly Promoting Pain in the Pacific' or other appropriately natty bit......

<puts on grammar police conter-battery hat> I think you put on the Grammar Police/OCD hat. [:D]

It would be my contention, personally, that "for eg.", as an example, would only be redundant if it were clear to both speaker and reader that Kiribati, as an example, were one in a list of many examples of big atolls, so to speak.


By the way, for eg., your digressions are taking a heavy atoll on the narrative.

Do you really think it prudent to give that kind of specificity? After all, what if that annoying LYB Nagumo is in the Indian Ocean? Of course, this could be a fiendishly clever MI5 disimformation operation, in which case, you would probably reply something like. "we aren't afraid of that little midget Nagumo and his bamboo airplanes".
