Not really. Atleast not for me after losing all that fleet multiple times.

[trulpen]

Hmm, think you did an forbidden move there. The ac has no attack-value, so can’t defend the tr from the sub, right?

No I looked it up. All that’s needed to ignore a sub is a warship. And an cv is a warship.

I believe you’re mistaken.

“The sea zone may be either friendly or hostile, but if it is hostile it must be made friendly through sea combat before the amphibious assault can commence.”

[trulpen]

But might be that there’s a special case with subs.

[trulpen]

Think I know what the problem is.

“a transport is not allowed to offload land units for an amphibious assault in a sea zone containing 1 or more ignored enemy submarines unless at least 1 warship belonging to the attacking power is also present in the sea zone at the end of the Combat Move phase”

The thing is that you attack the sea zone with 1 ac. Battle commences. The ac gets sunk.

but I didn’t attack the sub. I ignored it, which is allowed so long as there’s at least one warship present. and a CV is a warship.

[trulpen]

What I understand it you can only ignore it if the sub chooses to submerge instead of fight during the CM. This sub would chose to fight.

no that’s not right, a long sub can be ignored during an amphibious assault

@trulpen so the decision is in the attacker’s hands

Yes, during the amphi, but not during the sea-battle preceding the amphi. I’m pretty certain, but if you want we can get a ruling.

looks like you missed my screenshot of the rules. it’s clear

Aha, that might very well be.

[trulpen]

I agree with the rule you presented. It’s crystal clear. There’s however also this rule:

“Although they don’t have an attack value and aren’t represented on the battle strip, carriers can still participate in an attack and can take hits, as long at least 1 unit with an attack value attacks along with them.”

[trulpen]

I think this situation is not particularly clear actually. On one hand the attacker may ignore subs, but on the other hand an ac has 0 attack-value and shouldn’t be able to enter a sea zone alone with enemy units, even subs, without being obliterated.

Correct. That would be applicable for the case when a carrier is engaged in combat. However, in this case I have chosen to ignore the sub. No combat occurs, and so that rule is not applicable.

Of course a carrier can enter a sea zone with subs lol
