Submarines being able to attack land

@Caesar:

I might even abandon this idea, I am trying to add rules without adding actual new units. Like Japan creating the famous sub “carriers” that would launch a single fighter. They were going to use this to destroy the Panama Canal.

Try it as a special Tech…

That’s the problem though, I try to create ideas based on abilities during WWII. Something like this isn’t tech related because Submarines already had deck gun to begin with.

@Imperious:

Subs having the ability to shoot land units is sound. I would add in AA capability ( getting one shot at every plane) and i would also add shore-bombardment capabilities, and lastly subs should get SBR capability. I would make them 4-4-2-6 units and they take 2 hits to sink. This would be commensurate with the capabilities of some planned sub that was in the planning stage. Thank You.

Jules Verne actually described such a vehicle in his 1904 novel Master of the World.  It was capable of operating as a submarine, a speedboat, an automobile, or an aircraft, switching from one mode of operation to the other as needed.  As an automobile, it could travel two or three times faster than the fastest trains of the period.  Its inventor, who was planning to use it to conquer the world, called it “The Terror”.

@Imperious:

OK: attacks and defends @4, moves 3 spaces, SB @4, takes 2 hits, carry’s 2 planes, 2 infantry, shoots at tanks, 1 shot at every plane, can capture capitals, and costs 6 IPC.

I think this will finally solve the problem that SS’s friends have with unrealistic sub rules in the game… I think his friends can all agree, this is far more realistic.

Finally !  :-D :-D :-D :-D

We will call this new unit SEAVIEW RULES after that sub in Voyage to the bottom of the Sea:

Can it still shoot at planes submerged ???

Indirectly, by launching the small Flying Submarine it carried and sending it up to engage in a dogfight.

The flying sub is where the planes come in. And yes this bad ass does fire at capitals with her missiles, and Admiral Nelson and Starkey personally capture your capital. They are the two chaps with black leather jackets and colt 45’s. You have no chance. Admiral Nelson gets what he wants!

Somewhat ironically, the actor who played Captain Crane on the VTTBOTS TV series, Al Hedison, had previously appeared in the movie The Enemy Below as the Executive Officer of a WWII destroyer that was hunting a German submarine.

Wait a minute… I thought we were going to call this the WOLFSHANZE FORMULA sub?

David Hedison. I have his autograph somewhere

He used different elements of his full name (Albert David Hedison, Jr.) at different points in his career, switching from Al to David in the late 50s.
