@The:
Hey guys, I always had a problem with Submarines. Lets just say 3 Subs attack a Cruiser and misses, what happens now? I mean the cruiser can’t fire back because the only attacking unit is Submarines and can only fire back with a Destroyer. So, then what happens?
3 subs attack a cruiser and miss >> cruiser defends >> remove casualties,
press attack or retreat.
The only time you need destroyers in order to ‘spot’ submarines, is when you’re trying to hit subs with air units. Sea Units (warships) are able to hit one another regardless of destroyers being present.
if it were
*before any dice are rolled, subs chose to submerge or stay and fight
(if subs chose to stay and fight) a cruiser attacks 3 subs >> 3 subs defend >> cruiser attacks (if remaining subs miss and cruiser hits) >> remove casualties,
press attack or retreat.
subs always attack first or defend first without the presence of an enemy destroyer,
also casualties caused by subs are immediately removed without the possibility of counter attack from the opposing ships.
and last, you can chose to ignore subs and go through or remain in the sea zone as if it were friendly.
