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.
I told them that submarines attack at a 2, and defend at a 1.
That is correct and according to the rulebooks.
They got out the rules, and sure enough….the reference cards say that subs attack at two and defend at two.
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.
