Knp7765… Spring 1942 did have defenseless transports ie “no combat value” in the rulebook (ref to your question a few posts ago). Also, agree with you, Cromwell and Hobbes regarding “fleets exist to defend transports, not the other way around”. Personal note - i prefer the colors of 1984 map to all the others that came after, but i’ll be buying both games whenever they come out. Regards all, graaf
