2016 strategic planner (Axis) vs JDOW (allies +24)

[JDOW]

Frankly, it somehow still feels to me like a loophole like I currently try to exploit that transports can’t NCM after the sub is attacked.

I mean after a J1 DOW with 3 TTs in sz6 it is usually no option for Japan to waive NCM novement just to kill that sub.
Thus there imo nothing Japan can do in that spot but suffer the convoy damage, can’t she?

[Adam514]

Yeah, but it’s not that big of a deal and it won’t happen often. At least Japan has the option of ignoring it.

[strategic planner]

@JDOW:

Please note about the sub in sz6:

If you decide to attack the sub you can consider the seazone hostile and attack the sub while moving units out of the seazone during combat move phase in order to avoid combat. So you could move a destroyer anywhere you want.

However the transports in sz6 can only leave the sz during combat move phase if the move results into combat.
This means: In case you decided to attack the sub the transports participate in the battle and in this case you can not do non combat movement with the transports in sz6.
