I could never interpret exactly what the conduct was for a sub vs a battleship.

Suppose one submarine attacks one battleship. The submarine scores a hit in the opening round. The battleship is turned to its side, but is the battleship allowed to fire back?

@rookeries Welcome to the forum :slightly_smiling_face:

Moving the UK plane to SZ 5 to attack the German transports there indeed is a valid combat move. The battle will be resolved according to the “defenseless transports”-rules on page 19 of the rulebook, sometimes referred to as “autodestruction”.

Scramble is not part of the ruleset here (you might mix that up with the rules for Global 1940).
Also there is nothing in the rules saying that planes must be accompanied by attacking ships.
So never leave your transports unprotected :smile:

Just my humble opinion, but seems that the AA50 treatment of subs generates a good chunk of inquiry…

so why not make a sticky thread for all sub rules questions and answers?

Not the tactical kind of question (what do you do with the sub at sz4) or asthetic (don’t the German subs look much sexier than the Russian) but cut-n-dry clarification stuff.

Heck, call it the Sub Pen or something if it “floats your boat” (every pun intended).

Do you play with the Optional Rules from the FAQ document?

Thanks, that was what I thought too. The thing that threw me for a loop was that I downloaded TripleA and it doesn’t look like they allow that sort of move, so I wanted to make sure I wasn’t playing it wrong all these years! :-)

I agree. The use of subs with aircraft is a gret combo for naval combat (even better if you have super subs). You can even make it cheaper if you have long range aircraft and jet fighter, transforming your fighters in better weapon than the original bomber.

I’m sorry to disagree, but long range aircraft benefits bombers so much it would be a waste to switch to fighters. Although saving 2 IPC per unit is nice, being able to bombard any territory or sea zone on the map at will is much too good to give up on - and thats what long range bombers do!

@sala33:

*Battleship/Cruise bombarbment: If you have only ONE transporter, and in support 7 Battleships and 5 Cruisers, do all Battleships and Crusisers take place in the shore Bombarbment?

And if your transporter has your infintry and a friendly tank, do all the units get off loaded in that turn?
If so, does the friendly unit then fight with your attack on the land, or does it stay out of the battle till that players turn

When a shore bombarbment takes place and the attacker hits defending shore units, do the shore units get a chance to fire back, or are they taken off the board straight away?

1. No. The number of bombardments you have is limited to the number of ground troops you bring. (One transport = 2 bombards MAX).
2. No. Only your infantry can unload this turn. You have to wait for your friendly ally’s turn for him to unload.
3. Yes, they do get to fire back.

@Gamer:

I think he’s saying I’ve attached his list (which it is HIS list, by the way), but I managed to post it before he could.

Yes. It’s hard to get news out before someone else does these days, with all the watchful eyes out there. :wink:

@Gamer:

P.S. – Thanks, Krieghund, for your hard work. I’m just making sure you get your props. :wink:
