Invasion Minimums?

Ok. Since your transport survived, and you have a Battle Report, it sounds like you hit the 'Withdrawl' button. Transports never 'survive' for failed invasions once the transport actually gets to the island and the message "Troops Ashore" appears.
With only the two Allied ships defending, your transport would have gotten to the island as long as the 'Surface' attack button was used. Also, it's very unlikely that the two Allied ships would have survived against the IJN task force you had, in a Surface Battle.

It's possible that if the 'Air' attack button was used, that neither side would have gotten any damage, and the IJN ships would have withdrawn on their own. You must use the 'Surface' attack button each combat turn, to successfully invade an island, or as the defender, to try to destroy the landing craft.

Santa came today and delivered my Xmas gift early. And he did it in a heavy snow storm which produced 14" of snow. What a crazy day today. So back to game....

I also I'm having a problem with invasions. I'm playing Japan. So on the 1st turn, I'm trying to invade 3 bases(Luzon, Leyte, and Wake) with the 3 transports available. I send the PH raid as set-up at start. Remaining Japan Home forces split between Wake and Leyte invasions. Split all ships in Formosa to Philippines Invasions. Basically, Marianas forces go to Leyte and Truk/Kwajalein forces go to Wake. Hit Go/Combat goes as follows....

1)PH raid(battle boards with normal results)
2)Luzon invasion(battle boards with invasion good)
3)Wake invasion (battle boards with invasion good)

Combat over / Turn ends

4?)Leyte invasion(no battle boards and I read in the battle reports on the next turn that the invasion failed.

So is there a rule I'm missing? I did read the rulebook(maybe too quickly?). Or maybe a bug?

Game is still fun. Good job!
