Invasion Minimums? - Page 2

I can confirm this. Any Allied ships causes the IJN invasion to fail. I tried using all of Formosa ships (2xBC, 12xCA, 7xCA, SNLF-1) also. Any Allied ships (USS Houston in this case) causes the the tactical screen to be bypased and an automatic invasion failure.

Failure also happens sometimes on Raid Missions. I just launched a raid from West Coast to Japan (Home Island) and nothing happened. Either this is a bug, or the missions has been cancelled for some other reason (a die rool depending on the distance ?) but in the last case, some message should inform the player about this.

If you get a green line to a base and a successful raid/invade icon, and the TF doesn't make it, it's a bug.

Yes, I had both.

Well, Leyete is definately buggy. I have tried in several games to invade it turn 1 with Japan. I have used small TF's and I have used huge TF's, and the invasion always fails on turn 1.

Hi everyone,

This is a bug. If there are no aircraft at all (land-based or carrier-based), and surface ships defending, this will happen.

My apologies for this one.

Just a quick note...I had something similiar happen late in an MP game at aluetian(sp?) islands. Attacked with a BB, 3CA, 3CL, and an amphib. Never had combat there at all, and the invasion failed. I am 100% sure there were no enemy ships there at the beginning of the turn, and almost, but not 100%, sure there were no ships there at the end of the turn. I didnt think to ask my opponent if he sent a patrol there.
