I’ll need a friend for that… I guess we can do that in that HWW game that we’ll start soon enough.

I'm playing a very militia-heavy game at present (you know the one) and I know this technique to work; it's saved my K/D from being completely awful and instead made it merely bad.

Maybe. I'm considering it. I'm considering a good deal of alliances including, bizarre as it may seem, Manchukuo.

Who’s manchuko?

That's not true. You can bombard units that you can't see.

Any hidden unit that gets bombarded by a non nuke unit, doesn't recieve damage

Yes it does

I am 100% positive that you can kill units that you can't see by bombarding them. I just killed a couple hidden militia with battleships yesterday. Perhaps the units you were targeting weren't in the exact place you were targeting. I move my coastal scout militia off province centers for this exact reason.

In my game, a week or so ago, I used artillery to bomb a milita overnight.

Then used my infantry for combat and it was there full health (same unit)

I don’t know? Maybe just a bug?

If it is within 5km of the impact point, the intended behavior is that it takes damage. If it doesn't then it is a bug.

@z00mz00m?

i do not what is supposed to or will happen, but this has happened in the game I'm playing.

Again, if you have a spy report on a unit, and it doesn't move, you can shell it then next day. That's the special case.

You can also damage stealth units that stack with normal units. You don't see them alive, but they take damage and you can see them when they die.

But if you don't have a spy report and just shoot at a province with no idea what's there, you will not hit stacks that you can't see. That's the normal behavior for stealth units.

This is all understood. You can try it if you don't believe me.

What I don't know is if a nuke would kill a hidden militia, one that would not be hit by regular bombs. Not in a spy report. Not stacked with regular units. Just a militia by itself, unknown to the bomber.

So far I'm not convinced by any of the answers because the posters don't understand why they are hitting militia with regular guns

Well let’s prove this once and for all then.
