Sub question

thats what we ended up  after lots of arguing. Sad that we didnt notice that para.

Thank you

Remember though, with house rules you can do whatever you want!

@Krieghund:

… Only one cruiser hits, but all three defending destroyers hit…

I hate when that happens, but it’s part of the game.  :|

Sucks to be you then  :-(

dang.

I believe it though…

@uffishbongo:

The one involving Archangel says there must be “no other Allied forces…”

This is probably a stupid question, but does that include AA guns?  I’m so used to retreating the British gun to Caucasus and now I may have knocked out 5 of my own IPC’s by doing so.   :x

That is an Allied force (a UK AAA).

This is covered in the errata thread, btw, I believe.

the way to get the I.P.C. back is to retreat from a captured capital, let the player re-capture their capital and attack at the next round with all the I.P.C. that was captured

Q. On page 29 it says that your aircraft may hit enemy submarines if you have a destroyer in the sea zone, but it doesn’t say anywhere in the rules that aircraft can’t hit submarines without a destroyer present. Do you always need a destroyer in a battle in order for your air units to hit enemy subs?
A. Yes. Air units can only hit subs if there is a friendly destroyer on the battle board, otherwise hits made by air units must be applied to units other than submarines. If you’re the attacker, destroyers in the same sea zone belonging to your ally don’t count, since they’re not involved in the battle.

THX Kriegshund, you are right!

I apologize to all readers of my previous posts for having answered without this important information.

In this case the subs would sink the transport without interference of the fighters.

You either submerge or fight - not both.  If you take your surprise strike, you have to suffer the return fire (unless of course your attacker is a single ship that’s neither a sub nor a battleship and you hit it).
