@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.
HBG and UK light brown?

Does anyone know if any of the HBG colors match the light brown/dark tan UK pieces from the original Europe and Pacific?
Any help appreciated.
Thanks

According to this page…
http://www.historicalboardgaming.com/Battle-Pieces-by-Color_c_263.html
…the closest shade from HBG is the Tan UK one that matches the current A&A British shade, which is pale beige. The British tan shade from the early A&A games was a bit darker – so no, there’s currently no precise HBG match for that particular shade older British.

Sad to hear, but I appreciate your help.
