Rules clarification. Sea Zone 3

What you’re saying is true in the second edition, but this is the first edition forum.

Good to know, thanks.

@Nomarclegs:

Hmm… So by “friendly” destroyer/s the rule book is referring to only those of the actual attacking power?

In the case of the attacker, yes.  A friendly destroyer must be “in the battle” in order to affect subs.  Since allied units don’t attack together, the only friendly destroyers in the battle will belong to the attacking power.

The defender, however, will benefit from destroyers belonging to an ally, since all units in the sea zone defend together in a battle.

got it. thanks!

Alright, thanks for the quick replay Yoper! Much appreciated.

Moderator, please move this thread to the correct forum.

You can probably just delete it now, as the poster has reposted in the correct forum.  Thanks.

Thank you!  :-)

You can retreat from an attack regardless of how many moves your unit has left. It has been that way since Classic. It effectively adds 1 movement for the attackers but defending planes can also move 1 to land on a territory if their carrier has been sunk.

One of the best examples is for G to have a big tank stack on Caucasus and the Allies move a large force to Eastern Europe. You hit EE with units for G and the tanks from WR and afterwards you retreat back to Germany. And all of a sudden Germany gets a lot harder to take by the UK/US.
