Lets say I have a submarine placed 1 sea zone away from a coast that has enemy fighters. Can those fighters attack my submarine, if so what defensive actions can my submarine take?
In the SZ, your ftrs can also land on an allied carrier that has vacancies.
Carriers have room for 2 ftrs.
Your can move a carrier into combat along side your ftrs in a SZ. Assuming your units survive, 2 of your ftrs can land in that same SZ on the battling carrier.
You know what? I found the 3rd edition rules for the A&A CD-ROM game. It answers my question. It seems only defending subs can submerge. And, if they surface to find enemy naval units, they must fight on your next turn…for at least one round of firing. So, I finally understand. Submerging is meant for defending against air attacks! Thanks anyway!
