The Germans have no destroyer present, therefore the defending air units can not hit the sub, and of course the sub can never hit planes. Think of it in terms of the combined arms rule, air units can only hit subs if they are combined with at least 1 participating destroyer, the difference with this particular combined arms is that it works while attacking and defending. In the scenario that you described, the sub would destroy the remaining transport without rolling and the defending fighters can do nothing.
Neutral IC Question
-
If you occupied an allied or axis leaning neutral in noncombat, can you build an IC there that turn or do you need to wait as if you conducted combat there? (Persia, Iraq, etc?)
-
You would always have to wait since you cannot build any facility in a territory you didn’t control at the start of your turn.
-
What I thought… just hoping against hope because you don’t take the territory by force. thanks!
