Hi: I think Mark McG. has stated it best in his response (below).
Generally, rules questions for any particular game are best asked at either BoardGameGeek.com or in the "Russian Campaign" folder at ConSimWorld.com. BoardGameGeek.com is "free" for posting a question --- the link for TRC 4 is: http://www.boardgamegeek.com/game/10156 and for TRC 3: http://www.boardgamegeek.com/game/2808 Bill --- In [email protected], Mark McGilchrist <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > I have only 3rd ed rules, but I think he may be right. > > 12.5 When several units attack several defending units > the attacker has the choice of how to divide combat > provided: > 12.51 he attacks every defending unit he has moved > adjacent to, > 12.52 all his units in enemy ZOC attack some enemy > unit, > 12.53 each attacking unit is adjacent to the specific > defending unit it is attacking. > > so it seems a combined attack could be OK > > then in the Stuka rules > > 15.3 A Stuka can take part in a battle only if all the > Russian defenders in that battle are within 8 hexes of > the same German Army Group Headquarters counter.
