Destroyers delay the removal of sub casualties, allowing them to fire back in their normal step even if they are hit by a sub. However, both attacking and defending subs always fire in the Opening Fire step, so a defending sub will return fire even if it is hit, regardless of the presence of destroyers. This is because fire within a step is simultaneous. In effect, the presence of a destroyer only affects the ability of surface vessels to return fire when hit by subs.
Transport placing question
-
I hope you can settle an argument I am having. If the US purchases 7 transports, don’t they follow the same rules as say placing tanks, in that they can’t place the transports in a sea zone next to land where the IC value is only a 3??
-
if you have an IC in a territory with an income value of three, the maximum number of transports you can place in an adjacent sea zone is 3 (your combined ground/air/sea units can not exceed 3 in that territory)
-
That’s correct. All units count against the limited number that can be placed at an individual IC, even ships placed in adjacent sea zones.

Great. thank you !!
