The Germans have no destroyer present, therefore the defending air units can not hit the sub, and of course the sub can never hit planes. Think of it in terms of the combined arms rule, air units can only hit subs if they are combined with at least 1 participating destroyer, the difference with this particular combined arms is that it works while attacking and defending. In the scenario that you described, the sub would destroy the remaining transport without rolling and the defending fighters can do nothing.
GB Tech Research Question
-
I gained Jet Fighters w/ GB India money. Does that apply to GB as a whole? (GB Europe & Pacific)
-
The only things that the UK economies do separately are collect and spend IPCs. This means that the Purchase & Repair Units, Mobilize New Units, and Collect Income phases of the United Kingdom turn are conducted separately for each economy, but all other phases of the turn are conducted together in the same manner as any other power, with no regard to map boundaries. As a result, research and development may be paid for by either economy, and any resulting developments accrue to the power as a whole.
-
However, ANZAC, even though technically a part of the UK Commonwealth, has to do their own research for techs, right?
-
Yes. ANZAC is a separate power, and powers cannot share techs.
-
Kirieghund, why can’t nations share tech? Almost all the nations in the game shared either techs or more advanced weapon types with their allies.
-
What he said.
-
Well not give away, but a mechanism to share such as rolling for a targeted tech a nation has for 5 instead of 6. I know its not a real war but it seems silly that ANZAC can’t share with UK, Italy with Germany, and USA with UK or ANZAC. I don’t think it would be that big of an advantage, just a way for more minor powers to share with their bigger allies.

…… I don’t think it would be that big of an advantage, just a way for more minor powers to share with their bigger allies.
Um…yes it would. That would be a HUGE advantage. :-o I think you’re over-thinking it.
