PUNJIS

Punjis are split bamboo stakes about half meter long, sharpened and driven into the ground at an angle of 45 degrees facing in the same direction. They were usually emplanted to form a dense belt of stakes perhaps one meter and a half in width. The function of a Punji belt was akin to that of wire: to channel or impede movement. While wire was a more effective impediment, it was often unavailable. Moreover, Punjis were more dangerous to cross, especially when hidden in the undergrowth.
Punjis are Fortification that can be set up (to a maximum of one per hex) only prior to the start of a Pacific scenario.
A Fortification of Punjis does not create a new Location in its hex; the term "Punji Location" used herein simply refers to a Location that contains a Fortification of Punjis.
Each Fortification of Punjis creates three covered hexsides in its hex.

Amphibious landing

The rules governing amphibious landing are provided in the "Units Expansion" manual contained in the "Documents" pack.

Here is an example about the real mechanics during the movement of the amphibians over the ocean as well as their landing on the beach.

On water, an amphibious vehicle is a combination of an "Amphibious barge" and an "Amphibious vehicle."
(Figure 1 shows an "Amphibious barge" and an "Amphibious vehicle").

The "Amphibious vehicle" travels on board the "Amphibious barge", and the infantry units travel on board the "Amphibious vehicle".
(Figure 2 shows an "Amphibious vehicle" with its passengers, embarked on an "Amphibious barge" during its advance towards the beach).

When an amphibious unit is attacked in a water hex, both the "Amphibious barge" and the "Amphibious vehicle" can be wrecked.
(Figure 3 shows a direct hit in a water hex on an "Amphibious vehicle" embarked on an "Amphibious barge").

When an "Amphibious vehicle" sinks in the water it becomes the usual destroyed vehicle, and the "Amphibious barge" still remains above the water.
(Figure 4 shows a destroyed "Amphibious vehicle" in the water along with its surviving "Amphibious barge").

If the "Amphibious barge" is sunk in the water, then the "Amphibious barge" is removed from the board and the "Amphibious vehicle" still remains above the water. Although the "Amphibious vehicle" still remains in the water, it can no longer travel to the beach and remained stranded in that hex.
(Figure 5 shows an "Amphibious vehicle" stranded in a water hex after the "Amphibious barge" carrying it to the beach has sunk).

When the "Amphibious barge" manages to reach the beach, the "Amphibious vehicle" lands in the usual way.
(Figure 6 shows the hex where the "Amphibious vehicle" can land once the "Load/Unload" button has been pressed).

Once the "Amphibious vehicle" has managed to land on the beach, it can continue its movement on land, taking with it the infantry units it has on board. Also in the usual way, the embarked units can get off the "Amphibious vehicle" that transports them at any time.
(Figure 7 shows an "Amphibious vehicle" already landed on the beach and carrying its passengers into inland terrain).
