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.
Another fgt question
-
If an AC is attacked (say Pearl) and chosen as a casualty in the 1st round of combat can the fgt immediately withdraw after the first round of rolls and land safely on an adjacent allied held territory (say Pearl) or does the fgt need to stay in the battle until it is either destroyed or the enemy withdraws? Thanks

@JWW:
fgt need to stay in the battle until it is either destroyed or the enemy withdraws? Thanks
i think it needs to stay in teh battle unitll the battle ends. it lands right after all combat is resoveled. so i’m pretty sure it has to stay untill the battle is over.
-
Yeah same principle as a defending Fig on land, must stay til the end.
-
Under standard rules defender never has the option to retreat, unless it is a sub and no Dest. is present.
-
DF is correct. And that is true for both OOB and LHTR rules.
