2.4.1. Offensives

Game	Contents

Now, at first the offensive menu appears.
At each menu always all important functions are described briefly.
Up to three offensives for each turn (month) and player (nation) are possible, whereby this costs increasingly more production points (PP).
A hostile and reachable target province must be selected by right-click with the mouse on a city there. After this, a large, turning sphere in the national colors appears over the province marker (here a Axis Minors offensive against the Anglo-Americans at Tobruk).

Own units, which can not reach the target province, are now indicated colluded on the map.
Units, which are located in a province, which was conquered in the last month (turn), can not participate in the offensive.
All other own units could participate in the offensive (these are also possible land units on transport ships in an neighbouring sea-province, which could accomplish an invasion).
By left-clicking with the mouse on one of these unit boxes it can be selected, whereby everyone left-click selects one more unit (if the box represents several units), a right-click reduces the numbers by one.
At least, a right-click with the mouse on a city or unit in the target province moves the selected quantity of units to participate in the offensive.

Note: Afterwards, airplanes used in an offensive fly back to there starting province. If several airplanes of the same type were used from different starting provinces, they fly back together to the starting province of the last moved planes !

An incorrect move can be canceled by clicking the 'Undo'-button (see 2.1.4.) .

If you have moved all the units into the province, in which the offensive take place, you can click on the 'Go'-button to terminate the phase and the next offensive or subsequent action (support of allied offensive, see following chapter) are announced.
If you would not like to accomplish further offensives in this turn, then press immediately the 'Go'-button, without marking a province with the offensive marker.
Further, the offensive phase is indicated only for players, whose nations already are at war.
