The Germans have no destroyer present, therefore the defending air units can not hit the sub, and of course the sub can never hit planes. Think of it in terms of the combined arms rule, air units can only hit subs if they are combined with at least 1 participating destroyer, the difference with this particular combined arms is that it works while attacking and defending. In the scenario that you described, the sub would destroy the remaining transport without rolling and the defending fighters can do nothing.
Alpha 3 - FIC question
-
Political situation for Alpha 3 states “A state of war between Japan and France or between Japan and the Soviet Union will not affect relations between Japan and the United States, and vice versa.”
Does this mean Japan can invade FIC w/out a declaration of war versus UK & ANZAC?
-
It has nothing to do with UK/ANZAC. The only power that Japan needs to declare war on to attack FIC (or any other French territory) is France.

Thanks! Maybe I’m remembering the rules from the 1940 Pacific only and applying it to Global.

The same rule conditions existed in Pac 1940 as global - the diplomatic relationship between France and Japan has always been independent from UK/ANZAC and Japan. In the OOB setup and rules of Pac 1940, there was basically no reason whatsoever to not attack FIC first turn, and that had no bearing on diplomatic relations with UK/ANZAC.

Does cause Japan to not collect their 10 ipc NO if memory serves. At least in the current version of alpha 3.
