Query: G1 sub in SZ125 affects USSR NO?

Thanks again for the help.  I am playing a very close league game so I am sure it was my opponent that asked the same question.

@WILD:

If I’m going to spend IPCs on an IC I would wait until I have Western Ukraine (it should fall quickly), that way any units I build in W Ukraine and Ukraine could be with-in striking distance of Moscow.  You don’t need more units to push into Russia, but you need more units to finish them off. That way if the allies fly a bunch of ftrs into Moscow you can build more units at the front, Romania isn’t going to help you in the later stages of your Moscow campaign. The only possible help a Romanian IC will give you later is if the allies try to come up though the Balkans mid game.

When I did it, i ofcourse filled all of the w ukraine IC as soon as i got it as well. I also built a minor in rostow and once I had Rostow, ukraine  and stalingrad, I produced 9 infs there every turn, keeping the russian bottled up in moscow, while using the infs/arts to release my more mobile elements to attack the middle east from the north. Persia and iraq should fall once you come crashing down wtih 40+ units. The brit could perhaps challenge this. if UK has the minor IC in iran, iraq and in egypt from UK2/3, they should be able to have a lot of units being able to trade cauc and nw persia for a few turns.

Correct.
Subs are cheap and powerful. Destroyers cost more and are very necessary to combat them.
Destroyers (DD) are also necessary  for blocking fleets, as the cheapest Surface Warship.

Lesson: bring a DD along when there are Subs around and you are serious about landing!
Brilliant scenario though.

Well, I’ve had success with SBR’s on London in a previous game, but my mistake was to not combine it with a legit or fake attempt at sealion (thereby forcing London to pay the damage).

Won’t be making that mistake again.

Per the Alpha+.2 rules, only amphibious assaults are blocked.

Transports are automatically destroyed only when they are defenseless.  This means that something is still shooting at them and they either have no protection or cannot retreat.  Attacking transports are very seldom defenseless, as they can usually retreat.  See the AAP40 FAQ for further information.

Peck is right.  Transports may not unload after retreating.

the uk had a mass of ships comming from canada and the uk player slyly hidd 2 transports among them i thought they were just renforcments w/ out transportys. other wise i would have prepared
