@RYNO87 Sea units can never attack territories containing whatever defending units.
In other editions battleships and cruisers under special conditions can support amphibious assaults by shore bombardment, but not in this game.
Can battleships attack/defend against subs? My understanding is that subs and destroyers can. If not, can you just bring one sub against a fleet of battleships and continue to roll till you knock out all battleships? Seems wrong. Thanks.
@shake118118 Welcome to the forum. Which game are you referring to? Please ask your questions in the respective forum category. I will move this topic to the correct one, once you indicated the game in question. For now I have parked it in “Player Help”.
However:

Yes.
This is specifically regarding Axis & Allies 1941.
@shake118118 Moved there. Thank you.
Don’t hesitate to ask further questions. Have fun :slightly_smiling_face:

Welcome to the forum @shake118118 . I think Panther may already answered you with his “Yes”, but to expand on that any naval unit can attack/defend against subs. If a sub submerges, which it can do if there is no enemy destroyer present, then that sub is not involved in the battle, so no attack/defend against that sub is relevant. If the sub does not submerge and so is part of a battle then it can be hit by any naval unit.
The exception is planes, which cannot hit a sub unless they are accompanied by a destroyer.
I hope that is clear.
