Lets say I have a submarine placed 1 sea zone away from a coast that has enemy fighters. Can those fighters attack my submarine, if so what defensive actions can my submarine take?
idk_iam_swiss, please try to setup the AA1942 board and play it as is, you will see by round 3 there is not enough space in Europe for all your units. I meant small to mean that the actual territories (map size) are too small to place all your units, look at the size of the bombers alone. I’m pretty sure that’s why IL made the map. I could be wrong. But the few times our group has played it that and running out of Japanese armor was our biggest gripe. We ended up using German armor as Japanese with a flag underneath it. Come on 8 Japanse armor? What was WotC/AH thinking?
Its not “too small” for a begginer, Save your money. If you find out you like this game. I recomend getting the one coming out this december. Its going to be part of a two part series and youll find the map (just pacific) is larger than your current one. The two together will more than likely take up your ENTIRE kitchen table.
If your’s attacking the capital, you wouldn’t want to SBR, 'cause the IPC’s will be yours after the takeover. If attacking a non-capital IC, go ahead, as it depletes your enemy’s IPC’s.
Both moves are legal, the first just wouldn’t do you any good. :-D
You know what? I found the 3rd edition rules for the A&A CD-ROM game. It answers my question. It seems only defending subs can submerge. And, if they surface to find enemy naval units, they must fight on your next turn…for at least one round of firing. So, I finally understand. Submerging is meant for defending against air attacks! Thanks anyway!
