Sub v. sub combat clarification

When I play FTF I look at the units I am going to send into battle and then count my opponents units.  Just doing that generally gives me an idea of how the battle will turn out.  If I have any doubt about wehter or not I will accomplish my mission then I may not attack.  Most the time I know the approxiamate result of the attck based on experience.  Of course lucky rolls can change all of that.

well then. lets hope he doesn’t hit and we do.  :wink:

It’s kind of hard to search for an  obscure rule clarification…

And the threads could still contain multiple people’s opinions, with a consensus emerging as the discussion evolves.

Sankt is correct.  The SUB may still chose to leave the SZ in COMBAT movement phase of their upcoming turn.  However, if the SUB does not combat mvoe out, then Comabt will occur with the new fleet.

THe lack of ability of an ally to claim lands diurect from a fallen ally I always took to be “allied support of the resistance”.

As for income though, with no central government, the taxing ability is gone, and thus so is the income generating capability of those lands… at least until a new adminsitrative authority comes in to restore order (either Allied or Enemy).

i would never consider putting my russian fighter in egypt.  what is the purpose, trading it for an artillery, maybe a tank?

or you could play World at War 2005 where all these problems are solved.

A/A guns can roll up to 3 dice per combat round and may not fire more than one die at each attacking aircraft.  More than one A/A gun can be used in a territory.  They fire just like any other normal unit.  They can also be used as Anti-tank guns and casualties.

Oh yeah, defending and attacking fighters exchange fire for one round against SBRs.  Fighters accompanying an SBR have a range of 6.  They also have a range of 6 if they do not participate in combat that turn.  A/A guns can fire for one round during the SBR and normally in a normal attack in the same turn.  SBRs can damage/destroy factories, so the stakes are higher.  Factories can be repaired but if they are not, certain penalties apply.  For instance, if you hit well enough, you can prevent the factory from putting out tanks, A/A guns, ships and/or aircraft.  You can also bomb runways and limit the amount of defending fighters able to defend against SBRs.  In short, you can actually have a real Battle of Britian.  One more way World at War is superior.

I hate it, theres too many rules hurting the attacker, the attacker has the initiative, and theoretically wins.
