Sharkman Posted November 29, 2012 Share Posted November 29, 2012 I have 2 questions on unit swapping 1. 4. I have often seen 3 units attacking from the same tile, I have not yet managed that, how is that possible? As far as I know units cannot move attack and then move again. 2. Why is it that sometimes units swap but the swapped in unit cannot attack, otherwise it is allways possible to attack after movement? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
crispy131313 Posted November 29, 2012 Share Posted November 29, 2012 I can answer question 2. If the unit you would like to swap in only has 1 action point it is used in the swap. No action points no attack. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bill101 Posted November 29, 2012 Share Posted November 29, 2012 Hi Sharkman I've not been able to replicate the 3 units attacking/swopping from 1 tile. Have you seen it in Multiplayer games or against the AI? The only reason I can think of would be that it has already attacked and swopped. At least, I've not seen any exceptions to that.

Sharkman Posted November 30, 2012 Author Share Posted November 30, 2012 I have only seen it in multiplayer games, and have not managed to do it myself, next time I see it I'll ask my opponent how he did it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sharkman Posted November 30, 2012 Author Share Posted November 30, 2012 Back to question 2, I don't otherwise recall units being able to move into a tile, whatever the cost, and not being able to attack. Or does that sometimes happen? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bill101 Posted November 30, 2012 Share Posted November 30, 2012 No, a land or naval unit can always move and attack even if the last bit of movement uses up all its Action Points. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sharkman Posted December 1, 2012 Author Share Posted December 1, 2012 Then swapped in units should allways be able to attack, but sometimes they can't. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bill101 Posted December 1, 2012 Share Posted December 1, 2012 The only exception would be if they've already attacked. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
david12345 Posted December 6, 2012 Share Posted December 6, 2012 My .02: 3 units can and do attack. Hold shift THROUGHOUT the entire process. once to move it in, while attacking, and then to swap with another unit that has not attacked, as well as while the 3rd unit attacks. I have done this, it does work sometimes. Of course it will not work all the time, depending on ap and terrain and weather. I would respectfully disagree with Bill101. Sometimes I have swapped a unit in and it has been unable to attack, i guess it's movement points were expended differently than if it had moved without a swap, not sure. At any rate, I have done it enough to confirm that it does happen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
