Question

[Ju87Stuka]

hi . iam quite new in this board game and i got a question about the submarine surprise attack. I got a sub and iam attacking 1 cruiser . I can surprise attack him and i missed. Now the cruiser is possible to attack my sub without a destroyer? Or is the first fight round finished and the surprise attack with the sub starts again till i retreat or the cruiser  sunk ?

thx

Welcome to the forum!

If your sub had hit the cruiser would have been sunk without firing back.
As the sub did not hit, the cruiser fires back.
If the cruiser does not hit either, the sub can continue the battle and has again a surprise strike (or retreats).

An enemy destroyer takes away the sub’s surprise strike ability.
