Another Sub Question

I play an Ad-Hoc version of the game using a global map (Deaths Head Map in the “Variants” thread) and rules version I compiled under “Minor Axis and Allies Powers” in the “House Rules” thread.  This version incorporates Minor Axis and Allied power into gameply and pulls rules ideas from many other areas of this site.  Dog Fighting was one of those rules that appeared in AAHE….just wanted to make sure I’m interpreting this rule properly…

Please Do… It is always great to have minds talking together…

I’m pretty sure you can only have as many ICs as were in the game, and that I can’t help you with, I’ve had a couple games and mixed up the pieces.

@StrongBad1988:

the way i play is that the attacker is the one who just placed the units into the seazone, but i’m not really sure what the official rules say.

no - placing new units is well after the attack phase. Basically the battle begins on the sub-owner’s next attack phase - unless he moves it out of combat into another combat. If the sub is there until the factory owner’s next attack phase, THEN they attack it
or so i believe.

@Michael:

1. Can fighters and Bombers attack Battleships, Destroyers and/or Transports unnassisted (without naval units)? :o

2. Where 4 (four) land/sea areas come together in one spot, can you move units diagonally across the “four corner” area? Example can you move directly from Berents sea to Karelia? Can you move directly from Western Mediteranian to Tunisia?
:-?

1 - yes (note transports cannot initiate a naval battle, they have an attack of zero)

2 - no, thats 2 moves! cheater! :)

Sorry… I’m too simple-minded to be caught in that situation. :)

If you guys are assuming that a round is roughly three months than almost any unit could be built in real time in that period of time. I have a book on Panzer Tanks and even the most powerful tank could field a full battalion in a little over three months. And when talking battleships, if it was a German pocket Battleship I believe it could be made in three months. You have to remember that most industries in these countries were geared almost completely to the war effort. :D :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!
