Attacking air + destroyer vs subs+surface ships +air


  • Hey Kriegshound
    Thanks for the help in previous threads, unfortunely i have another question…

    In my last game i attacked ger SS,BB,CC+DD and several fighters, with UK fighters, DD,CC and BB, after first round i have no destroyers left, however my opponent does have several subs left, And this is where we disagreed…

    I believe (very firmly, unfortunely cannot find in rulebook or in threads on this lovely forum to back me up) that my fighters can only hit his surface ships and air units since i have no destroyer in 2nd round.
    He believes that since i had a destroyer present in the start of battle, its effect (air can hit subs) works the rest of the combat regardless whether its alive or not in the next rounds of combat. (it is actually rather wagely stated so under destroyer in the rulebook (1940E).

    So who is right???

    You are.  The influence of one unit on another disappears beginning in the round after it is no longer in the battle.
