Drop a sub in sz100

@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!

I just looked… turns out you are correct.

Back in the days when destroyers cost 12, and rolled 3,3, +2 for shore bombard. WOW.

You are.  The influence of one unit on another disappears beginning in the round after it is no longer in the battle.

You are, for two reasons.  First, subs fire or submerge before anything else fires, unless there is an enemy destroyer in the battle.  Second, air units can’t hit subs unless there’s a destroyer friendly to the air units in the battle.  So, in the case of only air units attacking only subs, the subs can submerge before the air units fire, but even if they don’t the air units can’t hit them.

I love buying subs as germany. I think its the best cost efficient way to slow down US and put a stranglehold on UK economy. Having a lot of subs and weakening UKs economy will make the UK think twice about buying naval units. I find that attacking USSR on G2 has worked best for me. I will also buy at least 3 subs per turn and have at least 12 subs in the atlantic by the time the US comes over. The US cannot be stopped only delayed a round or two which will be huge.

the sub can do another fight in another sea zone

No.  The transport must be accompanied for its entire move in order to be “escorted”.

germany builds factory in romania. builds one sub in lake 100. unless russia builds factory then destroyer, sub is untouchable and stops one british NO–the sub rule.  sz 100 is very very strategic  :wink:
