PELELIU 1944:
Marines: US Marine unit (The United States Marine Corps (USMC) is a branch of the U.S. Armed Forces responsible for conducting amphibious operations with the United States Navy).
US Army Unit: Regular US Army unit.
Tank Unit: Sherman Tank formation.
Supply Depots are formed by landing Supply Ships. If you are really low on supplies, existing Supply Depots can receive extra supplies via following methods: seizing a noteworthy city, Looting carried out by a General, or Flying In supplies with an Air force unit.
Supply Ship: After landing, Supply Ships turn into Supply Depots, which are the only source of supplies for American troops. Supply ship can ONLY land on hexagons which are clear (no forest, no swamp) and have at most one unit in them.
Artillery: Tap enemy unit to bombard it (this action requires full move points). Bombardment can result in a loss of HP, loss of MPs, increase in Fatigue, or be ineffective (IE). Operational range is shown with a circle when the unit is selected. If attacked by an enemy unit this type of unit might withdraw multiple hexagons and lose extra MPs.
Dugouts: Defense structure: Must be placed on the border of a fully controlled province. Dugouts located too far away from the active front line might be either removed from play or returned to the resource pool. Dugout completely surrounded by deep enemy area might either surrender or break out (=turn into infantry unit with limited MP capacity). Dugouts cannot be moved or receive resources, and, usually, they cannot receive replacements (+1 HP).
Generals/Commanders and their actions: See generic guide for the regular features of this unit type.
\nJAPANESE UNIT TYPES:
Infantry: Regular Japanese Imperial infantry unit.
Naval Infantry: Japanese Imperial Navy infantry unit.
Auxiliary: Weak infantry unit, more likely to withdraw under pressure.
Tank: Japanese light tank unit.
Dugout: Defense structure to slow down enemy progress.
Artillery: Bombards nearby units (miss, MP hit, HP hit), can relocate, and sometimes manages to escape if enemy unit moves over it. Capturing might give some resources as a reward.
AI Commander: Supports enemy units in combat and provides extra MPs to combat troops just like a General commanded by the player does. Chance of capturing the enemy commander (moving into the same hexagon) is roughly 50 percent, partly depending on the MPs of that commander (if you push a commander back several times and it has negative MPs it will be easier to capture).
