I like it the way it is . 1 on 1 is different than 3 on 3. I also think the table top is different than the computer screen. The Axis had 2 wins this weekend and of the 17 games we’ve played with the ALPHA+2 rules and set up were still about 50/50. The skill level is about even on our table
Yes, once the DD is destroyed the planes can no longer hit the Subs so the battle would end.
And yes, since subs can never hit planes any sub hits go to fleet elements.
I guess this would form a partial exception to the “transports die last” rule. For instance if two DDs, three fighters, and a transport attack 3 subs, and on the first round the subs get three hits, the transport would be sunk even though the fighters are still alive, since that third sub hit could only be resolved on a sea unit.
I don’t mean to complicate things, but if you play with techs and get the “Advanced Artillery” tech, each artillery can boost 2 infantry, 2 mech infantry or one of each up to an attack value of 2.
