Choosing Casualties in Naval Combat

@panther

Gotcha, so it’s just a matter of whether or not you wanna lose such an expensive item.

@andrewaagamer excellent, thank you!

Good advice Wild bill. I would also say be patient. Bad dice, especially 1st rd, on a big naval battle can really skew things.

The rules say you can ask for German permission to cross through these straights.  Perhaps before you attack, you should simply politely ask the German player if he would please move the nets and mines out of the way so you can sail into his backyard?

Its worth a try someone let the Russian submarine out in one of our games :)

Unescorted transports can ignore subs as long as they are not in the sea zone that you are conducting an amphibious assault from. That’s when you need a warship to ignore the sub(s).

Canals and straights controlled by powers on the other side with which you are not yet at war may only be passed through with the permission of the owner, which may be denied without incident.

So the Soviet fleet is not free to sail out through the Danish Straights to pre-position and defend SZ125 (unless the Germans foolishly alow it).

Hmmm.  Our group had been playing that incorrectly.

Muchos gracias
