I do see why they didn’t want to complicate the sub rules w/exceptions and what not, sub rules are tough enough. It would have been easy to add transports must be escorted with surface war ships through enemy sub infested waters or they are lost however. This would have pacified some of us.
In-Game question- pls help: Hostile sea zone retreat rules
-
Can the ships in the hostile zone retreat into different sea zones each?? ie one ship to zone A another into zone B
Or do they move as fleet?? -
Page 19 of the manual:
Under Attacker Retreats:
Attacker can retreat… Move all attacking land and sea units in that combat to a single adjacent friendly space from which at least one of the attacking units moved. In the case of sea units, that space must have been friendly at the start of the turn. All such units must retreat together to the same territory, regardless of where they came from. -
thats what we ended up after lots of arguing. Sad that we didnt notice that para.
Thank you
