thank you for the answer

Exactly what are the differences in Subs from Revised to AA50?
Did I read somewhere that they would only get their preemptive shots in the first round of combat?
-
Subs get to fire first only in the first combat round if no enemy destroyers are present. They may submerge instead of firing in any combat round before any dice are rolled if no enemy destroyers are present. They don’t block combat or noncombat movement of any enemy ships. When a warship ends a combat movement in a sea zone with an enemy sub, it may choose to attack it or ignore it. Air units can’t hit subs unless there is a destroyer friendly to the air units on the battle board. Subs attack on a 2 and defend on a 1. They cost 6 IPCs.

Subs got ruined as soon as the destroyers came no need for subs really except for germany since there not all navy like island nations

All this is pretty odd … with so drastical change for a unit who worked in Revised? Saving the aircraft stuff, the rest is … odd …

Probably you have reason, Craig, with people thinking subs were not enough good, but I think forcing aircraft have a dd to attack them and the reduced cost was enough. The thing most annoys me is a lone trannie ignoring a sub and sending people to other place, but I guess, as you say, opinions will vary with the time

I love these sub changes, and can’t wait to play it out! I think the tracking of enemy destroyers and moving of subs into striking position can be a new and exciting part of the game. Let’s see if this change will make Convoy interdiction house rules disappear, time will tell…

Krieghund…
Let’s say a group of 3 Subs is attacked by 1 Destroyer, 5 Fighters, and 2 Cruisers
If 1 Sub survives the first round of combat, does it have any opportunity to submerge prior to facing second round attacks?I know the answer is yes if the opposing Destroyer is taken as a casualty, but what I’m wondering is if it can submerge if the Destroyer is not taken as a casualty?

Since it went mostly unaddresed, I would like to point out the following:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/World_War_II_casualties
You can see that Canada’s % deaths vs total population was higher then the U.SHopefully that info is accurate, but I imagine it is.
Please don’t belittle Canada’s role in WW2

Yeah, but canada’s total population was 10 times less than America’s…
The fact is, a Canadian was belittling the Italian army in WWII, which is OK by you apparently, but when someone mocks Canada’s (relative lack of) influence on the war, it’s going “too far.” I would never mock a nation’s war performance unprovoked, but when a person from Canada of all places is mocking the performance of Italy (which could have probably run Canada three times over in a one on one war), then yeah I might make a lighthearted comment about the humor apparent in that.
-
You totally missed my point. I said percentage of total population. Thus it doesn’t matter what the total population is. What it means is that Canada lost a higher portion of their population then the U.S. For each household, they had a higher chance of a death.
P.S using the logic that somebody made fun of A so I can make fun of B is pretty weak.

Kendric,
I apologize for having given the idea of belittling Canada. I do not want to be offensive. Moreover, I do not want to be unrespectful of Canada and Canadian soldier in WW2.
I was only considering if it is correct to chose a nickname like “italiansarecoming” with the declared intention of belittling Italy.
HOLD IT I CAN READ MAN don’t be so rude to me you know i can check some conversations out!
Also anyways i understand the rules easily i just need it explained to me once or twice or read it over a million times.So don’t dis me until you actually know me and i can read perfectly thankyou.
also on another post i said i was canada i chose italiansarecoming as a joke because they sucked in ww2 :lol:
So there you go i am canadian, i am capable of learning rules and i am not italian!
My only fault would be i am to lazy
This post: please do not show much anger italiansarecoming even though you are lazy. lolIt is not a question of showing anger.
What do you think if I changed my name to “CanadiansAreNotInA&A” and then started to write post like: xve rght shyrt shergt cvb bmm qwerty asd asd???
Excuse me for being out of topic.
I think that the one that should be indicated for belittling Canad is not me.
Considering that Italy suck in WW2 is a thing without sense. Which means that we italians sucked?
We have lost the war. We had 454,500 Total deaths, 1.02% of 1939 population, reading your link. My home city was bombed by USAF, RAF and even Luftwaffe. Historical vestige were destroyed in the process. People dead.Then? We suck for that? So be it: we suck! And now that we know that we Italians suck? What we shoud do?
I have to read posts like the above one and other similar.
I have no problem about that. Every one is free to express his opinion and to choose the nickname he like.But, now you are asking to me to not belittle Canada for having said that i could select as nickname “CanadiansAreNotInA&A” and then start to write nonsense.
I do not want to start a flaming only to understood: the thing I wrote is offensive for Canada while the post I quoted should be not considered offensive for Italy? Or do I have misunderstood?
Excuse me again for being out of topic.

ok thats fine. Stay on topic.

You know what I think is pretty weak? That it’s all fun and games when you bash one nationality, but when your own takes even light flak, then that’s just going “too far”. I think the logic “I’ll make fun of A but people related to the A category have no right to fire back” is full of hubris. And I believe you missed the point: If a country of 30 people loses 10 in the war, they still had minimal impact on the war, if any at all, despite losing a third of their population.
-
Romulus, I was referring to Rakeman, not you.
Rakeman I guess we will just disagree. If my country lost 1/2 of its population and you lost 1% and i lost less people then you, I will feel that I was much more devastated then your country. Your country will go on, mine will probably collapse. -
OK no more of these posts. I don’t want to lock this up because of a perceived issue that has no relevance to the thread.
-
I hope that they make canada a bit better i am sorry but canada was good in ww2!
-
Yes yes fine. Canada won the second world war. Enough.
stay on topic…

Ok Challenge,
Use the new unit costs in your next game. We have, using 2004 Revised Board. There is enough information on this site to play some house games with the new unit costs and mechanics. You will see, I believe how much more mobile the Navies have become, especially subs, very useful unit. I am curious to see if you guys are having the same results we are getting. Then a real discussion of how good subs are or are not will some potency.
item:I salute the brave soldiers and sailors of Canada and Italy for their contributions to their countries, right or wrong the average soldier went out and did his job, bravo!!
No one sucked. You can have an opinion, fine, your tactical assessments are poor IMHO. We are suppose to be students of this war.
Unforunately, the victors write history, and leave out the brave, bright contributions of the losers, German and Italian or Japanese and important members, like Canada.
Think Poland, 4th largest Allied Army, no press, fought every where and zilch credit.
Speaking of percentage losses, the Russians, can you imagine being told to charge across a battlefield without a weapon and told to pick one up from your dead comrade, ouch. -

I agree, tracking will be great.

The Russians weren’t merely told to cross the battlefield without a rifle and pick up one
from their dead comrade.
They had a gun at their back!
