I would like to submerge my sub in 106.

[Omega1759]

You can go ahead and change your American combat and non-combat moves by using the edit function. You can also re-do your UK attack (if needed) by starting with the China map.

In any case, the Chinese turn is rolled / done and we should not re-roll that.

[Paksos]

I thought you had to fight at least one round with the sub before it could submerge?

[Omega1759]

@Paksos:

I thought you had to fight at least one round with the sub before it could submerge?

There might have been one of the prior versions that worked like that, but not 1940.

Page 19 of Europe rule book, combat sequence:

1. Place units on battle board
2. Attacking / defending submarine surprise strike and / or submerge (sea only)
3. Attacking units fire

There is more detail written down under.

The AAA software should have given you a decision to submerge the sub before the battle. Like scramble decisions, this is a stopping point where we need to consult each other.

[Paksos]

Fair play, my bad!

Will sort that out over the weekend  :-D

[Omega1759]

No problem. There are a lot of rules to remember, I still get surprised once in a while!  :-D

Glad I can keep my sub, which is keeping the Canadians away and destroying UK’s industry.

[Omega1759]

For further reference, I will nearly always submerge a lone sub against cruiser or battleship. Subs punch better on attack, so I prefer to live and fight another day.

[Gargantua]

Get em Paco!

@Gargantua:

Get em Paco!

Paksos has been fine tuning his strategy quite a bit, what does he has in his sleeve?

Okay, have edited your sub back onto the map and re-done UK’s turn - over to you as to whether you want to scramble, amigo!

(Loving the support, Garg!)

[Omega1759]

Scramble 2 Italian and 1 German fighters in 97.

Please consult on my order of loss after your first round of rolling. I’ll be on my computer most of the day.

This will be a dicey battle…

[Paksos]

Three casualities on Italy in the first round (not nearly enough in my opinion!)

(Also forgot to send the mech to Iraq as well - Aaargh!)

[Omega1759]

Free battleship hit, cruiser, German fighter

Lets see my defense!  Gooooooo

[Paksos]

Two more hits on Italy (you knocked out my carrier and destroyer)

[Omega1759]

Two Italian fighters

Roll!!
