I would have it where each retreating transport would roll 1 d6 each and if a 3 or less is rolled then the transport can retreat 1 sz and off load it’s cargo if possible. At least this is the middle ground on this discussion plus a transport may survive if trannys are split away too.
Retreat question[Please Help in the middle of a game]
-
This may seem like a simple question,but i have not seen it addressed anywhere. Can a player retreat before any round of combat occurs,basicly skipping steps 1 thru 4 and going directly to step 5 in the combat sequence? I have a friend who,after seeing his other battles go down so so, wants to forgo or retreat his last battle with out conducting any round of attack. Incidently we are playing AAA50, but would like to know if this is the same for all versions.Please help Kreig you are the only one he will listen to!

Welcome, indignation!
Retreating is done at the end of a combat round. You can’t skip the prior steps and go straight to retreating, so you must fight at least one round of each declared battle. It’s the same in all versions.
However, in AA42, AA50, and AA40, attacking (and defending) subs may avoid fighting by submerging at the beginning of the first round if there are no opposing destroyers.
