Unit Details
- artillerySupportable - boosts marine/infantry attack to 2 when paired (one per artillery).
- supports artillery - attack boosted to 2 when paired with artillery (one per marine/infantry).
- isAir - follows all rules of air units such as not being able to capture territory.
- canBlitz - can move move through any territory (friendly or empty hostile) and then attack another.
- isStrategicBomber - can damage 1d6 (one die roll) engineers ability to place units.
- isTwoHit - can be taken as two casualties a.k.a. to hits to kill.
- isFactory - can place units based on the territory production (default is 1 in unvalued territories).
Special Rules
- Engineers CAN be moved during the combat face.
- Strategic bombing can be conducted by bombing engineers with bombers and/or mortars.
- The V Amphibious Corps circular territory in SZ 1 connects to all 7 beaches adjacent to the 7 landing zones.
- The 7 landing zones containing the starting Marines units are impassible, units may only be moved out.
- Engineers can place 1 unit in territories with no PU value.
- Having two or more engineers in a single territory does not raise the placement limit.
Strategy and Tips
- Because this game is based on "victory cities", simply making a charge for the enemy capital will not work.
