Europa Games and Military History
Question:
Do units carried by an APC have their total combat strength increased by 1 for purposes of overrun?
Answer:
Rule 13 says “Overrun odds are computed in the same way that combat odds are…” Hence, the +1 attack bonus does apply for overruns.

Question:
The Allied player aims to execute some overrun in the exploitation phase after an amphibious landing, using a transport counter. Rule 14J requires the units to be stacked with the counter at the start of the phase, while the counter can disembark from the LC not before the start of the naval subphase of the exploitation phase. Does this mean that the allied player cannot use the counter to motorize the units already on the beach (those that executed the amphibious landing)?
Answer:
Correct. If the transport counter is on the LCs and the unit is on the beaches, they are not really stacked together and the transport counter may NOT motorize that unit. []

Question:
For purposes of support can a player consider NGS as providing support to units being overrun, without taking into account the NGS points?
Answer:
Per Rule 33A, TFs may only provide NGS during a combat phase. Therefore, NGS does not affect overruns, since they occur in the movement and exploitation phases.

Question:
In playing Western Desert, I most burn an attack supply point per 10 REs of attackers to be full strength in attack. In either the movement or exploitation phases, would I have to burn a supply point to overrun at full attack factor? Yes, I’m afraid the answer is going to be yes but I’m hoping I’m wrong.
Answer:
WD Rule 13 (Overruns) does say that overrun strength of a unit is affected by it supply condition.
However, WD Rule 12B, final paragraph, states that a unit out of general supply has its attack and overrun strengths quartered. A unit in general supply has its attack strength halved but has its full overrun strength. A unit only has its full attack strength if attack supply is used.
So, if your overrunning units are in general supply, they overrun at full strength.
