ABH vs Innocentbystander G40

[innocentbystander]

Incidentally, you kicked my @ss in China this turn.  I lost a plane.

[Arthur Bomber Harris]

That is China’s job!

That is China’s job!

1. When a sub attacks a cruiser, the sub first rolls a 2. �If it hits, the combat is over. �If it misses, the cruiser rolls a 3. �If it hits, the combat is over. �Repeat this process until one wins. �

2. �Likewise if a sub attacks an Aircraft carrier with no destroyer escort, the sub gets to roll first. �If it hits, the carrier tips but can keep fighting. �The carrier can then strike back but it’s planes can’t help. �It has to fight back with it’s weak roll of 2. �I have seen a single sub sink a loaded carrier. �Not likely but can happen.

3. If a lone cruiser attacks a sub, the sub can decide to submerge instead of fight.
