I really start to look forward to that game. With simpler rules I might get some more people who would join a game, and more importantly, with a quiet a shorter game-time, it’s possible to play a game in one evening without staying up till morning :-)

I only hope they print enough, so it’s still in stock after two or three years… :roll:
(I remember how I tried to get Revised and now Europe40, after realizing about the games just after two years or so)

got the rulebook, just realized, that I didn’t read it exactly enough, because I thought then I’d know the rules more or less.
It was exactly enough to play and to have most of the rules right, but I missed two or three things :roll:, well, now it should be better

thanks for the correction, I thought it was strange… missread cannot and can when going threw the rules again.

p@nther and Hobbes, thanks for the clarifications.

The hole sea-battle stuff I didn’t really correctly read till know, like it seems (or maybe it’s because I learned the game with revised…). I also just now realized, that subs have after the suprise-strike still the possibility to shoot also in the “normal” round. (and so it has the possibility to attack two times per round)

hey there

First a big thanks to 94canuck for the game aids and IL for his great map. We’ll use them end of this week for the first time and I’m really looking forward to it after a couple of years with the original 1942 stuff.

I read quiet a lot in this forum, a lot of great info.

What’s a bit unclear to me till know are two things about AA:

• When having a sea-battle prior I can declare which ships take part in the battle and which don’t, so I can use them for offshorebombardement. Do I put those ships and the transports also onto the battle-strip? As far as I unterstood the rules I don’t, but after reading here I unterstand, that the transports take part in the sea-battle, so I’m a bit confused.
• Offshore-bombardement takes place at the beginning of the battle, right? Then I take the ships away from the battle-strip and in the case there are hits, does can shoot back with the other casualties of the defender?

And about the subs:

• they can never hit planes, but can hit if an enemy destroyer is part of the battle, right?
• How does the first strike exactly work? First attacker subs, then defender subs, then the rest of the ships: what happens when with which casualties? And first strike takes place only in the first round of battle, right?

Thanks a lot for the clarification!

Thanks for clarification.
