Just get your bombers out and pound the german ports as the uk. On the strategy above for the germans you could reinforce those transported units from norway and remember finland is pro axis so thats more units!!!

1. So a defending sub can submerge and always ignore battles so their would be no point in attacking them

2. So may as well leave carriers for defensive duties and movement during the non combat movement phase.

Thanks man

Hi guys bought europe and really love the game but I have two problems with the rules so far that have got me confused.

1. If a sea zone contains an enemy submarine and I choose to attack that submarine with say a cruiser and a battleship, it says in the rules that when no destroyer is present the submarine can do a surprise strike and submerge. Now this reads to me that their is no point in attacking a sub unless you have a destroyer present because the submarine can just submerge during stage 2 and not even fight.

2. Moving aircraft carriers during the combat move phase. I dont understand what the point is in moving an aircraft carrier into a hostile sea zone can achieve as it has no attack value. I can understand moving the planes off an aircraft carrier into a hostile sea zone to attack and then landing back during the non combat move stage. But the rules indicate moving a carrier into a hostile sea zone is a special move, however the planes ( apart from friendly cargo ) must take off first  :?

3. When you capture an enemy capital it says you collect any UNSPENT IPC’s however it will always be the maximum amount since their collect income phase assuming each player does all six their phases before moving on to the next player.

Thanks  :-D
