Engine: Current

Synopsis: The defender's tactics for defense and the fortification level of the island determines the outcome of an Amphibious Invasion

Summary:

Defender can select:

1. Defend Beaches

-------- Effect: Amphibious Invaders face higher casualties.

2. Defend Inland

---------Effect: Statistics (Strength, Morale and Readiness) of Defending Unit remains unknown during the battle and defenders receive a bonus vs naval bombardments.

Transports that are disbanded in the Island's port increase the entrenchment value of the beaches OR the inland defenses of the adjacent island tile OR increase the supply level of the Island Tile.

Example:

Guandacancal has a supply level of 2 since 2 of 3 transports were disbanded in its port and assigned to supply. This means that the corps stationed here can be reinforced 2 times. One transport was used to increase the entrenchment value of the beaches.

If the defending corps adopts a Defend the Beaches Strategy. This doubles the casualties suffered by attacking transports.

If the defendiing corps adopts an Inland Defense Strategy attacks by naval bombardments are less effective and the strength of the defenders is unknown to the attacker.

Con: Amphibious Invasions are more complex with the defender needing to choose the tactics that will be used on each island.
