Try showing me a WotC or Forumini card that has a type of soldier. It is a new unit type for the War at Sea game. You would need to define it and have rules written on how they interact with other units.
I've never heard of this prior. What was the Guadacanal Game/Scenario that they game from? Was it a download or a convention exclusive? You'll have to excuse me but I just not been exposed to it before.
So these rules were set up prior to the installation type which basically took it's place in the Naval game. You'll have to bear with me as I digest this information as it was from before I actually started playing the game.
I guess my most pertinent question is why do we want to make this a "soldier" type and not an "installation" type?
Fixed Position - Whenever an enemy damages this unit, roll a die . On a 4 or higher, place a rearming counter on this unit and take no damage from that attack
Shore Battery - This unit is immune to torpedo and asw attacks. Islands do not block line of sight when attacking this unit.
Amphibious - This unit may be deploy on any coastal or island sector. If deploys on your opponents side of the map, it may not make an attack on the first turn. Only one battery or installation may be placed in any one sector.
Portable (v2) This unit may begin the game undeployed. If it does, when a friendly unit would use the landing special ability you may instead place this unit in a island or coastal sector adjacent to that unit. You can only use this ability once per turn and score no victory points for the landing ability if you do.
