New page

Attack Only and Transfer Only are advanced options for customizing how your attacks happen.

"Attack or Transfer" is the default option that you will use most of the time. This causes the armies to attack the destination if it is an enemy or to transfer to the destination if it is friendly.

Sometimes the ownership of the territories can change before the order takes place. For example, you may think you are issuing an order against your own territory, but an enemy may capture it on the previous order.

Specifying "Attack Only" will cause the armies to attack if the destination is an enemy, or do nothing if the destination is friendly (i.e. one of your own).

Conversely, specifying "Transfer Only" will cause the armies to transfer to the destination only if it is friendly and will do nothing if the destination is an enemy.

=Example=

Assume you are blue, and wish to take Ontario. If you attack with Quebec with your first order, you may or may not capture Ontario with your first order.

You could issue a second "Transfer Only" order from Eastern United States to Ontario. This order would only execute if the attack from Quebec succeeds. If the first attack fails, the second transfer will have no effect. This could be preferable in some circumstances.
