Sub question…(edit: wrong place to ask - sorry)

Welcome to the forum!

If your sub had hit the cruiser would have been sunk without firing back.
As the sub did not hit, the cruiser fires back.
If the cruiser does not hit either, the sub can continue the battle and has again a surprise strike (or retreats).

An enemy destroyer takes away the sub’s surprise strike ability.

Officially, it’s only for Global.  However, there’s nothing to stop you from using it in Europe.

@Krieghund:

I’m assuming that you’re playing by the box rules, wwestpro.  Techroll42 is correct - subs don’t block movement.  For the effects of the “sneak attack”, see page 30 of the Rulebook under the Doesn’t Block Enemy Movement unit characteristic of submarines.

Ah, thank you thank you!

@wwestpro:

@Spitfire38:

Quick Alpha +3 rule question. Does the US still have the 30 IPC bonus during wartime? (for just europe, and for global) thanks!

Krieghund has answered this question for me already (I’m in the same situation).  Basically, there is no definite answer yet because they haven’t finalized the rules for global.  Once they do, they can narrow it down for pacific and europe only maps.

What I have been doing is using Alpha 3 and giving the US only 20 IPCs more to balance it out a bit.  You’ll find that the US is way too strong with 30.

Thanks…20 IPCs sounds like a good “bid”, or inverse bid/penalty I guess  :lol:

I’ll have to try that. I’ll let you know!

Welcome, Schleiffer!

Your answers are all correct.

Only the carrier.

@jim010:

Krieghund,

The rules say:

The original controller of the capital is still in the game but can’t collect income from any territories he or she still controls and can’t buy new units.

It doesn’t mention bonus $.  Can bonus $ still be collected?

Calvinhobbesliker is correct.

@WILD:

Whats the ruling on your other NB/AB if you lose your capital. I see you noted can’t repair your own ships (skip that phase), but will your other NB’s still repair your allies ships? Also do you and your allies still get the +1 movement from your other AB & NB, if you have lost your capital.

My thought is that your AB/NB in other tt are still 100% functional as long as they are not damaged (you won’t be able to fix them). They still get +1 as far as movement (for all powers on your side), and can still repair allied ships (yours can’t be repaired as noted above),

Your thought is correct.

France shouldn’t be allowed to do anything. That would be realistic.
