Generally speaking powers defend together. However in G40 there are powers that start off neutral (Russia and USA) or not at war with each other (like Japan and UK/France). You could have a case at sea when you attack a sz with units from multiple powers, and can ignore the units that belong to a power that you aren’t yet at war with.
Sub sneak attack question
-
The scenario:
It is G1, and Germany decides to attack sz112 with 1 sub (124), and the BB. In Sz112 is, of course, 1 French and 1 British cruiser.
The sub fires first, and hits.
Germany, at this point, wishes to submerge the sub and retreat the BB. Can this be done, or must the BB then fire, and the surviving cruiser get a shot back?

you can submerge and retreat your bb only at the start of roubd#2
once you fire your sub is going to take retalations from the surviving ship. The BB has to fire too.
-
you can submerge and retreat your bb only at the start of roubd#2
No, you can’t. You must either retreat them both at the end of round one, submerge the sub at the beginning of round two and fight only with the battleship, or fight with both in round two.
