italy coming now

[boldfresh]

karl, i had to tell you but you cannot make the amphibious assault of italy because you cannot kill the sub.

[boldfresh]

i see that you edited the sub out to allow you to make the landing, but the reason you could not make the landing is because the submarine precludes it.  the only way you can land is if you kill the sub and you have no possibility to kill the sub.  so please revise your UK turn.

thanks

sure was a nice idea to go for southern italy though…  :wink:

P 18 of the Europe Rule Book 2nd edition:

Amphibious Assault Sequence
1. Sea combat
2. Battleship and cruiser bombardment
3. Land combat

Step 1. Sea Combat
If there are defending surface warships and/or scrambled
air units, sea combat occurs. If there are only defending
submarines and/or transports, the attacker can choose to
ignore those units or conduct sea combat.

Am I missing something here?  As I read I can ignore the sub. I assumed TrippleA just has it wrong.  Has there been a clarification changing the above?   :oops:
