Off-shore bombardment is too strong without limiting factors. Realistically, you could bombard without an amphibious assault at all so requiring transports equal to number of bombarding ships is purely a game balancing thing while still allowing it fully during large scale amphibious assaults.
@@PickleTheHutt Ships are expensive though and they only fire on the first round of combat, is it really that bad? I suppose logically speaking if there's no landings enemy troops can retreat inland outside of range of the ships, but when there's a landing they come out to fight to try and prevent the landing.
I agree the rule makes little logical sense.
I'm not sure if that rule is in earlier versions of the game, but it is here and I think I'm going to just ignore it.
