Hello everyone. I have some doubts about the landing:
a) is there any way to reduce the loss of efficiency of a unit during naval transport?
b) is there any way that a landed unit suffers less loss when attacked by enemy troops (land, naval or air)?
I think I read something about landings in some post on this forum, but I don't remember where. Anyway, I appreciate the help.

a: no
b: no, besides landing on a hex with a lot of defense bonuses like a entrenchment, fortress, mountain or dificult terrain - I'm not even sure the hex defense would register before the unit was attacked during the same turn

Not very helpful, but this is the way it is.

Please give a specific example about the case you're talking about.

Thanks again, Robotron. I didn't play a long time, I went back a few days ago. This news was really sad, because I thought if there was any way to make the unit that landed more "strong" to enemy attacks, even after the loss of efficiency of naval transport.
Anyway, thanks for the explanation.
