Artillery Attack
Posted: Fri Aug 03, 2012 5:45 am
A question, maybe produced because English is not my first language. The manual says
"7.2.12. ARTILLERY ATTACK
If you initiated combat with a bombardment attack, it allows you to strike with your
artillery units without fear of having to engage in hand-to-hand combat, although
counter-battery fire might still cause some casualties. Artillery is only half as powerful
when used as part of a direct land attack instead of in a bombardment attack."
When I make a bombardment, that unit depletes all its AP, so I am never able to use them again. Is the manual trying to say bombardment doesn't involve hand to hand combat when in close hexes?
I am sorry I do not understand this paragraph[&:][&:][&:][&:]
