@The_Good_Captain The rule applies in all sea battles where there are sea units allied to the attacker present, regardless of the type(s) of defending German sea units. The rule mentions only German subs because the author failed to take into account the possibility that the situation could also exist with German surface units if they were mobilized in a hostile sea zone. This oversight was corrected in the Axis & Allies Pacific Rulebook.
Can subs attack land?
-
Well, can they? I have searched the rulebook for AAE, but have not found anywhere that specifies if subs can attack land or not.
-
They cannot
-
Nope, they can’t.

Does it make sense for a sub to attack land?
It you have a hard time deciding on rules, just use a little common sense.
Its not magic the gathering. :lol: -
Hey, subs had deck guns too!
Mtg is common sense, just bad timing issues… -
Yeah, those Kraut subs were known to take out who squads with thier deck guns :wink:

i’m sorry to say this has to be one of the dumbest questions i have read so far. if a sub has no defense to air planes how in the he!! are they going to attack land. and no torpedos don’t fly. and no there were no ballistic missile subs at the time.
