Subs work like they do in 1914 in this game (and in Pacific). In the battle off Canada, the surviving German sub would submerge in lieu of returning fire. I am going to edit back in a German sub as well as a USA destroyer.

Oddly enough and just so you know going forward, the UK destroyers could have been selected as casualties in the fight started by the USA. Shit you not. Check this out from page 26:

German Submarines vs. Allied Ships
If one of the Allies attacks a German submarine while other Allied naval units are present in the same sea zone, the combined Allied forces may chose any one of their ships as a casualty if the sub successfully returns fire.

Anyway, it may be best to use the independent dice roller when attacking subs. I will do so now for the fight against the Russian navy up top:

sub surprise strikes [dice 2d6]

@Ragnell804 the transport will disappear

now the German fighters roll [dice 3d6]

@Ragnell804

but these rolls are now inconsequential since aircraft can’t hit subs so they will be ignored.

so now the big question in this cascade of sequential combat, would you like to return fire with the Russian sub or submerge? You cannot do both.

@Ragnell804 here is the rule from page 10:

Defending submarines may submerge instead of firing back. The sub is turned on its side to indicate this submerged condition. It remains on its side and may not attack or be attacked again this turn. Submerged subs are returned to their upright position in Action Sequence 6. Note: Submarines are the only defending units in the game that may withdraw from battle.

@Ragnell804

Russian sub returns fire [dice 1d6]

@The_Good_Captain

German subs surprise strike round 2 [dice 2d6]
