I think that the ability to make an amphibious and/or airborne invasion and then being able to immediately move those same units again via strategic movement has two problems (at least):

1) such invasions become much less risky, since (unlike regular ground combat) you can pull surviving attackers out via strategic movement if you just want to do a quick (but often devastating) raid or if you win the attack but take so many casualties that you couldn't hold the area from a counter-attack.

2) we are often talking about huge areas (such as Western France). Yes, it might be realistic to allow strategic movement out of islands, but it should take approximately the same amount of time for an amphibious attack to cover all of Western France as a ground attack, possibly longer if you consider logistical problems.

One 'solution' would be to allow strategic movement out of the invaded area only if the unit has not been in combat.
Comparable to the current logic where a unit can keep invading as long as it has not fought.

Yes, that sounds like a good solution. Once a unit has fired it cannot strategic move.

What do others think of this?
