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.
Rule question: Trading.
-
Is trading in any sort allowed between the countries? Say, for example, could Germany send IPC to Japan?
-
I think no, but I am not sure.
-
The answer is definitely no.
-
That’s a no. We tried it once, it turned into global hyper inflation. Eventually we put a $5 cap on it, but it seemed like everyone was always $5 over.
-
No.
Only possible trading is using the Lend-Lease national advantage, and that is very specific and restricted.
-
ok, thanx for the answers.
-
Trading would be the same as giving loans in monopoly. It would destroy the essence of the game. Management of your resources is part and parcel with the combat management of the game IMHO.

if it were free for all trading may work. you would need countries to have difernt units. like and japanese fighter defending on 5 and russian fighters on a 3. then russia could be like i’ll buy a japaese fighter for m japanfor 10 ipcs. japan would (if it were to trade) buy on figther and put it on a transport or in a bomber. the transport/bomber would have to drop the fghter off somewhere in russia.
