Since you’re running low on batteries, I’ll assume you won’t scramble 3 fighters against my fleet.

Let me know if that’s wrong and we can roll it.

Hello, Odonis:

I have a question for you, as you appear to be a much more experienced player than I am.

During Germany’s last turn you brought an attack force from W Germany via your transports in sz 112.  I was under the impression that the presence of a US sub in sz 112 rendered that sz a combat zone and thus transports couldn’t be loaded there.  Obviously there’s something I’m not understanding.

Can you explain how that rule works to me?  I’m still fairly new to 1940 2nd ed and have only been on AAA since January.  I know I’m misunderstanding the rule, so I’m not doubting or questioning the move, but obviously I would like to not make that mistake again, as that one really stung.

Thanks.  :-)

@Odonis:

its a valid question - actually, its only surface vessels that stop an embarkation, not submarines.

Good to know. Thanks.
