Amphibious Assault.

Hi chaps,

I've been struggling to launch an amphibious assault of the UK, I've loaded all of my formations onto amphibious assault ships, sailed them into the channel, but I don't seem to have any option to move anything into harbour hexes in order to land them. The only disembark options seem to be to put them back in Northern France.

Am I missing something stupidly obvious? Could somebody give me a quick walk through on how to land troops via the oceans against a hostile coast?

(I find the naval part of this game slightly unclear and confusing. I'm... not entirely sure what's going on with my ships.)

Thanks.

S.

I think you need to load the unit on one turn. Then on the next turn you can move it to a sea zone and disembark. So it's a two-turn process. Sounds like you knew that already, though.

It might be that instead of hitting the "amphibious" button, which is used to invade an enemy-held coast, you hit the "sea transport" button. This requires a friendly port (or maybe just a friendly coastal hex--whatever it is it must be friendly) to unload in. You have to invade amphibiously first, capture a port (or hex) and then you can start shipping via sea transport.

Hope this helps.

Are you sure you have put the units on assault ships, not at the transports?

Yep, I didn't at first. Then realised that was a mistake. Put some units into assault ships. But then when I tried to move them none of the coastal/harbour hexes were highlighting as being viable movement destinations.

I will try again. I got sucked into trying to win the East vs West scenario instead, playing as the Russians I don't have to worry about sea transport. :)

Well, except when the Americans just landed an army behind my lines of course.

This is a tough game to crack! :)
