@RYNO87 Sea units can never attack territories containing whatever defending units.
In other editions battleships and cruisers under special conditions can support amphibious assaults by shore bombardment, but not in this game.
So I understand the submerge and all abilities of subs which get cancelled if there is a destroyer but how does combat work against no destroyer fleet? If my sub attacks a lone aircraft carrier with fighters I can attack it but can I resubmerge after doing my rolls, effectively not giving the carrier a chance to retaliate?
I am basically asking if subs can submerge after doing their attack roll vs a fleet without destroyers, which would make sense because it adds to their threat.
Hi Grumphry.
No. If a Sub’s target survives, it can always retaliate.
Submerging is instead of attacking or defending. A Sub cannot attack and submerge in he same round.
It is always worth attacking a lone Carrier with Fighters on board, if the Fighters do not have a safe place to land, as they will go down with the Carrier. The lesson is: always keep a Destroyer with your fleet, if the enemy has a Sub in range.
