AA42 Questions & Answers

@jiman79:

If it was a destroyer, there is no surprise attack, and the destroyer should fire first.

True, but that doesn’t change the fact that both attacking ships would be lost if both subs hit.  :wink:

@Nomarclegs:

Hmm… So by “friendly” destroyer/s the rule book is referring to only those of the actual attacking power?

In the case of the attacker, yes.  A friendly destroyer must be “in the battle” in order to affect subs.  Since allied units don’t attack together, the only friendly destroyers in the battle will belong to the attacking power.

The defender, however, will benefit from destroyers belonging to an ally, since all units in the sea zone defend together in a battle.

Water.

Now if the questions was ‘What do you smoke while playing AA42?’, then I might have a more interesting answer. :wink:

McLovin, that is probably one of the funniest posts i’ve read on this board. I’d add that perhaps Nutbar should put a few pieces in Switzerland and the Sahara; that should be helpful.

Thank you so much! I looked at that thread and that link yesterday but my browser must have been being picky. It works now! Again thanks :-D
