Destroyers delay the removal of sub casualties, allowing them to fire back in their normal step even if they are hit by a sub. However, both attacking and defending subs always fire in the Opening Fire step, so a defending sub will return fire even if it is hit, regardless of the presence of destroyers. This is because fire within a step is simultaneous. In effect, the presence of a destroyer only affects the ability of surface vessels to return fire when hit by subs.
Sea zones 5 & 6 question
-
how do you get between SZ5 & SZ6? can ships get through that tiny opening at the bottom of Norway and the top of Western Europe?
-
Yes, the Strait of Denmark is open to shipping.
-
one other quick question please… when a bomber or fighter attack a ship in the sea, do they get unlimited shots??
-
Yes. Air attacks (other than SBRs) work in the same way as any other attack. The attack continues until one side or the other (or both) is destroyed, or the attacker retreats (or the defender submerges if it’s a sub).
