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.
Weird Rocket Rule and BB barrage questions
-
Rockets ARE combat. You must declare in Combat Movement phase and do them at the very first of Conduct Combat phase. You cannot fire rockets and then move the aa gun and you cannot move a new captured aa gun.
-
Ranor, ncscswitch and Funcioneta are all correct for both LHTR and OOB rules, though in OOB rules you declare rocket attacks during the Combat phase rather than the Combat Movement phase.

THanks that was all I was looking for.

That is what makes those Jenforces so tough…
Aegis cruisers added to the game for the cost of 1 TRN and 1 AA gun :roll:

We would have lost a lot less people invading Normandy if they had Tomahawks in 1944.

Yea, well, the Jenforces version would be an Aegis Cruiser that runs on a nuclear generator and fires off Nuclear tipped Titan II missiles (40 per round) doing 20d6 damage each (killing units stationed in a territory, not IPC) and have a range up to 8 territories. :P

They had Tomahawks WAY before then. Why would small hatchets have helped?
oops…
Oh wait…
You meant Tomahawk MISSILES
:lol: -
I really need to take more time reading my posts and ensuring they communicate what I want them to communicate.
That being said, I’m sure the sight of millions of hatchets being hurled at them would have caused the Nazi defenders to run in fear, thereby making the invasion of Omaha Beach a much more pleasant affair than it was in real life.

Depends, were they sharp or dull hatchets?
-
More people are hurt by dull knives than by sharp ones…
Wonder if that holds true for hatchets? :evil:
-
Assumably yes.
You do know why this is true?

The boring reason you learn in school is that a dull knife typically requires additional force to cut, meaning that a slip is more likely, and with more slips come more cuts.
The exciting reason (i.e. the one I thought up while smoking my crack pipe) is that sharp hatchets are only sharp for the first few cuts, after which they become somewhat dull due to chopping through bone. Since you are unlikely to sharpen your hatchet while you are chopping someone up, or even unlikely to switch your dull hatchet to a sharper one as you race across the room to your second victim, it is LOGICAL that more people are hurt by DULL hatchets than SHARP ones.
Fear the wrath of Bunny P.
Especially when Bunny drinks a lot of wine . . .

That depends on how dull the knife is, though. My husband’s mother has knives so dull I use her spoons to cut my food. Lord knows the knife is completely useless!
