Submarine first strike

[japapam]

Are subs allowed to have the first strike bonus as in the other games?

[Krieghund]

No.

I didn’t think so… thanks!!

Might be a good idea, though.

Was it tested?

[japapam]

Im actually surprised its not in the rules that they can. The U-boats did the same thing in WW1 as they did in WW2 so why wouldn’t that rule be the same? Just wondering

[Flashman]

In WWII games many subs are sunk by aircraft. Since that can’t happen in this game its probably meant to balance.

But subs in 1914 need a complete rethink.

our group went with they have first strike and if you want to kill them you have to dedicate ships to do it and they all roll @ 1’s to sink them but they attack and defend at 1
