Drop a sub in sz100

ok, thanks i was getting really confused cause I thought I’d been playing everything wrong.

@Krieghund:

I’m assuming that you’re playing by the box rules, wwestpro.  Techroll42 is correct - subs don’t block movement.  For the effects of the “sneak attack”, see page 30 of the Rulebook under the Doesn’t Block Enemy Movement unit characteristic of submarines.

Ah, thank you thank you!

I love buying subs as germany. I think its the best cost efficient way to slow down US and put a stranglehold on UK economy. Having a lot of subs and weakening UKs economy will make the UK think twice about buying naval units. I find that attacking USSR on G2 has worked best for me. I will also buy at least 3 subs per turn and have at least 12 subs in the atlantic by the time the US comes over. The US cannot be stopped only delayed a round or two which will be huge.

lots of sub help stalling an american progress, this for sure. but it is hard to find best positions on the map where you can “hide” yourself from destroyers etc. and counterattack later on.

but it helps.

maybe next time i will spend the french money on mostly subs and bombers. maybe like this: G1 3 subs, 1 bomber, G2 (63 IPCs) 6 subs, 2 bombers. so one can have up to 10 subs and 4 bombers as germany. after that planes and infantry…etc.

any ideas about it?

rock`n roll

the sub can do another fight in another sea zone

@hewhoisnickel:

Wait, wait, wait. Surprise strikes are before EVERY round in a sea battle? If so, I’ve been using subs wrong the whole time I’ve played Axis and Allies.

Unless the other side has destoryers yep.

No.  The transport must be accompanied for its entire move in order to be “escorted”.

I agree. Far flung territories should have a controlled path to the homeland before thay can contribute IPC’s to their “homeland” otherwise they should have to spend the money themselves if they have a factory or save the money until it can be transported along a clear path.

Hmmm.
So would that be your evil twin brother saying that rules shouldn’t keep IPCs in Canada as it totally unbalances the game and dooms the Allies?
:lol:

Canada would still be owned by UK.

And this proposed rule would cause the same net effect.
