First-strike subs on defence - is it better?


  • So the Revised game gives DEFENDING subs a “sneak attack”, as well as attacking subs … so even in defence, a sub can knock off an attacker without risk of it returning fire. Do you like this better than the “old” game, where only attacking subs had this privilege?

    Does it help out defence even MORE in what is already a defence-dominated game? Or does it make subs more valuable, since they’re usually floating shields anyway?


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