[. . . ] When a unit disembarks, it frees one transport. Since there are a limited number of transport points, even if a unit can legitimately embark, there might not be an air or naval transport available, in which case the Embark - Disembark button is not available in the View Unit panel. Only certain classes of units can embark in a plane: infantry, light anti-tank, and light artillery. Units can only embark on a plane from a friendly airfield hex. Units with organic transport cannot embark on air transport. If the unit is on the airport hex at the beginning of the turn, the unit can embark and move in the air transport during the same turn. Units, with the exception of airborne units, can only disembark onto an airfield hex. If a unit disembarks on an unoccupied, enemy controlled airport hex, that airfield is captured. When a unit embarks onto an air transport, the unit icon is replaced by the air transport icon, and uses the air transport's statistics when defending against attack. Most ground units can use sea transports; naval and air units, and fortifications cannot. Units can embark on naval transports only at friendly controlled ports. Units with organic transport may use naval transport, but the unit is dismounted when it disembarks, regardless of its state when it embarked (mounted or dismounted). Units on sea transports can disembark on unoccupied coastal hexes; they do not need to disembark in a port. Any valid unit that disembarks into an unoccupied enemy port captures it. Remember that only infantry, tank, anti-tank, and recon units can capture cities. 47 GAME CONCEPTS: Movement GAME CONCEPTS: Movement 48 w Multiple Attacks Replacements It is never prudent to allow your units to fight to the point of elimination. The wise general pulls weakened units back from the front lines and calls for replacements, for several reasons. Units with even one strength point left are less expensive to restore to full strength using replacements than requisitioning a new unit entirely. This also preserves whatever battle experience that unit may have gained. This represents the importance of veteran cadres in a damaged unit. Losing units is bad for your prestige, as well. The importance of preserving units has many tactical implications. For one, you should plan for units which risk heavy losses to shoot before moving, so they can retreat to safety if grievously weakened. The corollary of this principle is, of course, to completely destroy weakened enemy units to keep them from being brought back up to strength. When a ground unit is the recipient of multiple attacks, its ground defense is reduced by two for every attack after the first, to a maximum of eight.
