@general-LD Rulebook says:
"Submersible: A submarine has the option of submerging. It can do this anytime it would otherwise make a Surprise Strike (see below). The decision is made before any dice are rolled by either side (the attacker decides first) and takes effect immediately. When a submarine submerges, it’s immediately removed from the battle board and placed back on the map. As a result, it can no longer fire or take hits in that combat. "
Can you ignore subs during an unescorted amphibious assault?
-
There are so many variations of this rule, I can’t remember the answer for this version.
Your enemy wants to unload on your territory, he has an unescorted transport with units in it. there is a sub in the way. What happens?
-
You can ignore it.
-
WHAT?
I can’t choose to prevent an amphibious assault against a transport with NO protection?
-
OK FINE… I read it in the rules…
Now I have to quickly recover from this “mistake” before my opponent tries to take a gamble on it.
-
He can’t unload in the same zone as an enemy sub unless escorted by a warship in CM.

Yes he can. Your Transports cannot perform an Amphibious Assault in a hostile sea zone during the combat move phase. Only enemy Surface Warships constitute a hostile sea zone (Destroyer, Aircraft Carrier, Cruiser, Battleship). Enemy subs and transports can be ignored by your Transport.

Only Global 1940 has the unescorted transports/submarines rule.
In Anniversary, enemy subs can always be completely ignored in combat and non-combat movement, even with unescorted transports.

My bad, I somehow thought it was a Global post…
