Destroyers delay the removal of sub casualties, allowing them to fire back in their normal step even if they are hit by a sub. However, both attacking and defending subs always fire in the Opening Fire step, so a defending sub will return fire even if it is hit, regardless of the presence of destroyers. This is because fire within a step is simultaneous. In effect, the presence of a destroyer only affects the ability of surface vessels to return fire when hit by subs.
Stupid question of the day
-
Combat move. Could an infantry move 1, load onto a transport, then offload another place.
Norway is undefended and I’d really like to use my Eastern Canada transport and my Western Canada infantry. :-D

No. Units may NOT move before loading onto a TRN, nor after offloading.
-
That applies for tanks as well right?
-
Correct. It applies to all land units.
