British Wartime Income and Enemy Submarines

@kmtnt the last turn of the game the 50 IPP thing wont be in play anymore because the US will be at wartime income. they should be able to declare war on any nation they wish (although we know the case with Italy) , but also as others have stated: if the US is threatened by Italy (and attacked) they can easily respond.

@trig said in Can submarines move through enemey channals like the suez Channel in combat move:

@hbg-gw-enthusiast
My suggestion would be to have that sub moving through Suez wait to enter 83, and then raid in it. That would show you can seperate moves, and don’t have to do them sequentially.
Also, what was the point of the transport in 85? I didn’t see where that came up.

I was going to have the Japanese use their Surprise Attack ability to grant that submarine one more movement to go after the transport in 85. Maybe I’ll make the transport in 85 two naked CV’s instead.

You should probably also mention scrambling and maybe something with MAP, do cover all the bases. Maybe there is a plane on MAP in 82 or something to do with that in another spot? Just to show how this also applies during wartime moves after the DOW.
Overall, looks good! I would also probably mention some other possibilities, if say, GB does DOW and how that would work with screening forces.

Great ideas!

I really like the use of this system for all moves, and will definitely “house rule” it in.

I believe in the game designers and hope that with time, this system will be officially adopted! Other than the two GHG videos, this is how I would have thought the rules work as written.

So, basically when a convoy is raided and you have ASW, for each raiding submarine, you roll:

one D6+1 compared to the raider’s D6 to see if your convoy loses IPP one D12 against each raiding submarine, hitting on a 1 or 2

The D12 is a “free Defense roll”, as it does not depend on surface warships or aircraft on MAP being on escrot duty.

See table 9-8 in the rules for all modifiers, including ASW.

@hbg-gw-enthusiast The fortifications are more that just a solid wall. Any unit no matter how it attacks is subject to the fort rules if it crosses that border. In the case of Malaya, that includes all borders as you rightly pointed out.

@hbg-gw-enthusiast I bought some of these and they don’t represent the Type VII. I recommend XP Forge. I know the owner and he has the best 3D printed ships out there. I have used most of his sculpts to outfit my entire navy of all my nations.

HBG just posted an Errata Sheet to the rules :

Page 42:

Add “Submarines have a Target Selection of “1” to the list in 9.10

I think the “each time” thing threw you off a bit there too. That is more in reference to any attacks on other neutrals besides China (Warlords/KMT/CCP all included in that “China” umbrella), and not to potential other attacks on other Chinese factions.

But as GHG said, once a faction of any kind in China is attacked, the rest automatically align, so there couldn’t possibly be any other Chinese factions that could be considered neutral anymore anyways!

Under the current rules it doesn’t say that you can’t do it. However, V-3 rules have a separate reference card for Free France which states that Free France cannot research Technology.
That’s not the only change. It says that FF can place units at any Allied factory and that FF can invade Vichy territories.
