Yeah that India paper needs an edit. It’s like 5 years old no?
I don’t consider India the optimal Allied strategy, but I’ve been beaten by it enough times to realize it is a workable strategy.
Yep, ONLY one shot, not one and one.
But that shot is ALWAYS before any other shots are fired, even if the enemy so hit gets to return fire because of a DST being present.
I like to think of it like AA fire only it happens every round of combat. If there were flying destroyers your planes would still get to shoot.
And then Rockets would be Kaitens in the sky… :mrgreen:
Ive played all of my games where they get to fire opening fire every round, until my last game when somebody told me I was wrong and that they fire only the first round in opening fire, which is a bit more logical.
Subs in the old edition only got one round of opening fire, if I remember correctly.
In Revised, subs get opening fire EVERY ROUND.
They do NOT get opening fire and regular fire. Just opening fire.
Okay, so subs fire the very first thing and once per round and their kill doesn’t return fire and dies - unless there is a destroyer present and then the hit enemy ship gets to return fire. Am I understanding that and summing it up correctly?

Actually, in classic, the attacking subs shoot in opening fire every round, defending subs never shoot in opening fire.

Unless it is one sub on a battleship or two or more subs that only score one hit. Battleships always need two hits. I mention this because it always seems to get asked when talking about this rule.

It’s been a few years.
