RE: Bombardment Chart - Example
It's odd that those who play most often in shared play favor the ". . . ONE successful attack with two X results = two step losses PLUS the loss of that transport unit with the ATG unit." While, the majority of the solitaire players who have commented, so far, favor TC's interpretation.
I support the first interpretation and applaud ACav's baseball analogy. Can't wrap my head around TC's lawyerly TWO attacks, one column result interpretion.
It looks like, PG's muddy rule writing -- with insufficient examples for clarity's sake -- and the frequent game mechanic seams, are most visible and concerning in shared play. This unfortunate situation leads to the wide adoption of DIY house rules to make game play easier and more fun, e.g., 1/2 a movement point for all units on a road, instead of the weirdo 2/3 of a movement point per road hex for mechanized and foot units!
Solo players are free to interpret the rules as they choose. Dr. Mike appears to favor game design for solo players, who likely make up the vast majority of his customers. This factor pretty much forces ambiguous rule interpretation as the norm in shared play.
