Submarine OOB Misprint?
-
Hey folks!
I just played a game of G1940, 2nd Edition - with my local board gamers today, and was surprised when they called for my Italian submarine to defend at a 2. I told them that submarines attack at a 2, and defend at a 1.
They got out the rules, and sure enough….the reference cards say that subs attack at two and defend at two.
Was there a misprint somewhere that people know about? Was there a previous version of G1940 that had subs defending at a two?
When this happened, it was a US or UK2 or UK3 attack on Italy, and since they were ruling it as subs defending on a 2, I immediately switched my intended I3 purchase to submarines - but I don’t know what to tell them.

That is correct and according to the rulebooks.

What reference cards?
Revised was the last version (on a global scope) where subs defended at 2.
They started defending at 1 with Anniversary edition.
HTH :-)

I believe they made Submarines weak for defense to 1 because every single player would pump out cheap Sub. to boost their navy so this allowed great strength for destroyer + “any” attacks to have the advantage.
