Combat phase question

@brookview you can also download tripleA. Its free. It could help you since you are a beginner to make sure that you dont do any wrong moves. You can use it even when you play with real boardgame. E.g. do the moves also in tripleA and check if allowed or not. If you are interesting the A&A 1941 map its called WW2 v6 1941 in tripleA.

Thanks Midnight_Reaper this clears up the question. (Sorry I didn’t get back sooner, but I actually forgot that I had posted this question.)

Thinking of the sculpted, why do most of them (Italy is exclude) have a number from 1 to 20 for the infantry?

Hi Grumphry.
No. If a Sub’s target survives, it can always retaliate.
Submerging is instead of attacking or defending. A Sub cannot attack and submerge in he same round.
It is always worth attacking a lone Carrier with Fighters on board, if the Fighters do not have a safe place to land, as they will go down with the Carrier. The lesson is: always keep a Destroyer with your fleet, if the enemy has a Sub in range.

Happy to help.  Enjoy your new game.

I have played a few games with the added units for the allies and still find it very hard for the allies to win.
Our group added one more soviet infantry in Soviet far east and moved one of the infantry in Siberia to Urals.

Our version of the Non-Aggression pact was changed to:
The USSR may attack Japan only if Germany has been reduced to holding territories worth a combined 5 IPCs or less.
Japan may attack the USSR only if the USSR has been reduced to holding territories worth a combined 4 IPCs or less.

I think it’s a fun game, especially if you want something relatively quick and simple. While I love Global, occasionally it is nice to play something that is so simple. I think it is more fun as the attacker because you simply don’t have to worry about SBRs or shore bombardment. Also, no AA fire to threaten your planes.
I think it is easier for the Axis to win. I have played a handful of games and only once so far did the Allies win, although I have not tried the new changes in setup yet. Also, I might have been just lucky so far (I usually play Axis). I have noticed if certain battles don’t go right for the Axis, the Allies could gain the upper hand.
Basically, it’s good if you just got a couple of hours or so to kill and you don’t want to leave the game set up.

If the enemy sub doesn’t choose to submerge first, both ships can attack it.  Only air units require a destroyer to allow them to attack subs.
