Invasion Minimums?

[Strider]

There is a small chance for an invasion to fail, but it happens, but not too often. You only need one transport, more will increase the chance of success, but transports are usually needed for other places, that you can't afford to use more than one.

The only thing I can think of that would result in a battle not being resolved, is if "Surface" combat wasn't maintained. If you use "Air" for combat, the ships never get close enough to an island to bombard or land landing craft.

Did you still have your transport at the end of the battle?

Yes.

This was a turn 1 invasion attempt of Tarawa.
BB Ise and BB Nagato and CL Tama from Home Islands.
CA Kako an CA Aobu from Marinas
CL Tenryu and CL Tatsuta and SNLF-3 from Kwajalin

CA Quincy and CA Vincennes showed up for allies.

I do not recall a resolution of the battle, but I did get a Battle Report. No damage to any ships (Japan or Allies). Message in Battle Report says: "Japanese Failed Invasion".
