Sub question

:-D :-D :-D :-D

If the subs fire in the First Strike phase they are detected for that round of combat.

The planes would fire on the subs once and then in the second round the surviving subs could submerge.

Have to build on next turn. Newly built naval units may only be placed in sea zone with a Naval Base and IC that were there at beginning of turn.

Yes.

The finnish pieces move as if they are Germans.

All attacks are combined at the same time.  Like FEC/ANZAC  or Japanese/Siam.

If Germany did not take France on turn 1 and bypass Poland there is no way they would win. France and UK would be able to build up and eventually the Germans would have to attack the allies. Believe me…if you dont take France on the first turn Germany is doomed.

You have got it correct star.

And if the only Vichy territory is in the pacific, guess what? :p

I think if Denmark is neutral then the straights should be open to any country. Germany should take Denmark to keep the UK fleet from entering….I will add this in my 6.1 rules coming out this weekend.
