Willing to play Allies.

Please don´t abolish the rule that gives subs the oportunity to fight back alone transports.
Here is the solution:
So we have 2 diferent moves in time.
alone transports can be fired by defending submarines if:
the same hapens during the noncombat move.
example: you move a transport during the combat move from sea zone A through sea zone B to sea zone C. There is a enemy sub in sea zone B.
That sub cannot fight back if during that combat move there is in any moment one of your warships in sea zone B (for example a warship that goes from sea zone A through sea zone B to sea zone D).
I would like a rule that subs are always active. Any time a ship moves though that sz (combat or NCM) the sub(s) get to fire at 2 if the owner chooses to (one shot). All enemy ships crossing would also get one return shot , but only if fired upon (if you survive you submerge). That way if you have 3 subs in one sz and the enemy tries to pass by with only one ship you have a chance to kill it. Obviously if they try to pass w/lone transport it would be killed, or if you take out their escort(s) in your one round of battle and survive they would loose the transport.
I’m glad he rescinded the sub rule - it’s one less thing to worry about.
If you want Larry to see your ideas, why don’t you go to his site and PM him or write in a thread called “talk to Larry”? He doesn’t visit A&A.org at all, IIRC.
