Area enemy units, then the enemy units
AMPH/Marines begin in a friendly/contested In- are considered to have retreated
Shore Box with no enemy Naval units present off the beaches and the assaulting
units may remain in the Land Area
Move the AMPH/Marines from the In-Shore Box Otherwise, they take the step loss
to an all-sea hex adjacent to Beach
