Spoox (Axis) vs Vance (Allies) A3

[Guest]

I’m not so sure about that.  After the attacker fires, the subs could opt to submerge (which they would certainly do), but only if they survive.  If I had a destroyer, then they couldn’t submerge at all.  In this case, both subs were hit on the first shot.  But thanks Def!

Nope they can submerge before the attacker fires. So those two subs in sz 91 can still be alive but thats up to the defender. You still done that battle incorrect as the defending subs get to fire their suprise attack first. Pg 29 of the Europe rule book.

OK I actually did roll shots from the subs after (not before) they were mistakenly sunk, and they both missed.  So I will just replace his subs and move on.  Live and learn.  It still seems bizarre to me that a defending sub can do the “surprise” strike (i.e. wouldn’t they be the ones being surprised?).

I dont think its meant to be thought like that, its just more of an advantage for the submarine and its name is suprise strike.

[Spoox]

thanks for clearing that up.
I’m off until Tuesday, so next turn will have to wait for a couple of days, my apologies.
