Convoy centers

@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.

@The_Good_Captain Yes. Only “unoccupied” territories may be blitzed through.

@krieghund : +1: Ok, thx again for your help. Unfortunately, there are a lot of mistakes in all versions of this game. So, it’s really not easy to translate the book rules in french.

Thank you guys, that is a big help and will make the game go smoother.

Submerged subs don’t count as a presence, so the attacker would gain control of the convoy zone.

The info given about the fleet only apply to AAR, not Europe. Subs are immune to AF without a destroyer present. With the presence of destroyers, subs lose first strike, nothing else.

@Grigoriy:

IMO, the game is unbalanced towards the Allies, however, I’ve seen the Germans win a time or two, and they come close most of the time, even though most doesn’t cut it.

Yes, “most, sometimes, maybe, long-shot” doesn’t cut it. This game should make players want to play both sides just for a change. Though I always choose Axis, perhaps I’ll start playing as the Allies as I’d like to win a few…

Yes, a sub moving through a convoy zone is like a tank blitzing an open territory and then into a battle.
Ya know what I’m saying?
