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.
To defend or not to defend, that is the question?!

Jenn, I like that approach as well. In fact, I think we are saying some of the same things. You do have to pick your spots as Russia. It can’t be a tit-for-tit battle with Germany – not for long, anway! But from earlier posts, I had a vision in my mind of two stacks sitting opposite each other swapping territory back and forth with tank blitzes. I have NEVER seen that in any game I have played. I guess as Russia I haven’t been fortunate enough to have a German player be so obliging in leaving territories open like that. :-P

It happened a lot in Classic, but in Revised there’s almost always at least two ways to get where you want, usually 3 or 4. (I think the only stumblers are Egypt/Trans-Jordan and Sinkiang/China.)
