ROMAN CIVIL WAR (S&T 157)

Map terrain: hex 3021 is Coastal, and Carthago becomes a port
once it is colonized.

Terrain Chart: Coast--Combat Effects: Other terrain in hex,
**except** when all units involved are Fleets or are aboard
Fleets. In that case, ignore terrain entirely.

Q: Can Fleets ever fight a Battle all by themselves? Where can
such pure "sea battles" occur? 
A: Any Battle where **all** the units involved on both sides are
either Fleets or currently aboard Fleets can be termed a "sea
battle." Sea battles can take place in any All-Sea or Coast hex.
 
Q: Are there any special restrictions or advantages in a pure sea
battle?
A: Ignore all terrain effects when fighting a sea battle. All
Fleets fight at HALF their printed strength when using any Tactic
EXCEPT Phalanx; see 26.3 (5). When the Maneuver Tactic is
selected, all units EXCEPT Fleets may participate.  When the
Assault tactic is used, all heavy-armed units INCLUDING Fleets
may conduct combat. Fleets may participate in Skirmish.
 
Q: When both fleets and land units not aboard fleets are present
in Battle, are the effects of Tactics changed in any way?
A: Fleets may participate in Assault and Skirmish at half
strength, and in Phalanx at full strength. Maneuver remains
limited to cavalry units. Land units currently aboard fleets are
treated normally. (At this scale, it is assumed that the fleets
will land their passengers before the battle begins.)
