Any takers on this one?

I believe it has to do with the chance that a fleet can retreat from a hex being conquered by land forces... I never used it, so this is only from memory, of some info i read at some point.

It has to do with loading/unloading a unit.
With 'hard' on it means a unit must have more than 0 AP in order to be loaded or unloaded from or on too a cargoship IF it is not in a port hex. When 'hard' is used also all AP are lost upon loading a unit

Rulevar(880) does the same (though in reverse 0-1 wise) for unloading or loading at a port hex.

Rulevar(881) specifies is all AP is lost when leaving a port.

Together these rules enable you to build in a delay for amphibious operations. Making sure a unit is at least one turn out in the seas before making an amphibious attack. Allowing for an opponent to attacking it with naval superiority for example.
