Question Regarding Multiple Attacks

@Gallo: @Krieghund: @Gallo: 2.a) they shoot before the attacker, and if roll at 1, if they score attacking unit sinks before having the chance of attacking – if attacking unit is a BB she can take the torpedo hit and attack anyway, but if it’s a Cruiser she goes to the bottom right there without dropping a single deep charge. This is true if there’s no attacking desrtoyer.  If there is an attacking destroyer, the sub fires at the same time as the attacker(s) and the results are simultaneous. yes, as I’ve stated, I was assuming no enemy destroyer attacking. buy what does it means that “the sub fires at the same time”? 1.Attacker rolls 2.Defender select casualties 3.Defender moves casualties to casualty zone 4.Defender (subs) rolls 5.Attacker selects casualties 6.Everybody removes casualties. that’s how it is, right? Yes. @Gallo: @Krieghund: @Gallo: 2.b) can submerge after attacker roll If there’s no enemy destroyer, subs may submerge instead of rolling.  This can be done in any combat round, including the first, so a sub can submerge instead of firing before the attacker fires if desired. yes, I’m always assuming no enemy destroyer attacking at this point… but again, just to clarify: If an attacking fleet with no destroyer moves into a sz defended by a submarine… the submarine can just choose to submerge without fighting? I mean: nobody fires? not even a first round? Example: four British Battleships moves into a sz where there is just one single German submarine to attack it (I know that British can ignore it, but say that they want to sink that annoying U-Boat)… and the German sub can chose to submerge avoiding even the first attack? Yes. @Gallo: @Krieghund: @Gallo: If there’s a destroyer present, subs can’t do their sneak-attack (2.a doesn’t work), and they can’t submerge True.  They then fire at the same time as everything else. again, by firing at the same time you mean the 6 steps mentioned above, right? Yes.

artillery attack on a 2 inf on a 1. If you have an artillery and a inf both attacking the inf gets boosted to 2. 1 arty can only boost 1 inf Inf and arty defend at 2 by themselves. Inf are cheaper. You need inf for defense as well as for the attack bonus. You also need inf for cannon fodder and blockers. Once you get some arty just buy inf to replace your losses and try and maintain a 1:1 ratio. If on defense you probably want more of a 2:1 or even 3:1 ratio. Depends on your situation. If you’re really under pressure a lot of people will go all inf for max defense. I’ve always liked to be able to do small counterattacks when possible though. It’s nice to have a couple planes so you can at least do some minor counterattacks. Best thing is to set it up and give it a go : ) you might want to read through the after action reports a couple threads above you. probably some good info there for ya

Sent PM to Umgar.

Short answer: Yes Long answer: Yes you can 

I concur (since that is what it states in the rule book). 

Thanks guys.  The faq clears up a few things too.  Am planning a 2nd game Friday and will be playing the allies again.

@Pinnacle said in Question regarding combat for unit inside hostile sea zone: It wasn’t explained explicitly in the rule book, but the defend together attack separately rule defn makes sense in this case It is at the very top of page 21: “Multinational Forces Units on the same side can share a territory or sea zone, constituting a multinational force. Such forces can defend together, but they cannot attack together.” I have moved the topic to the Anniversary category of our forum. Welcome to the forum.

@P@nther: Guys, you have been misleaded … the OP thought it was a good idea to post his Anniversary-related question here in the Global forum. @LHoffman: Yes, I only posted it here because rules are similar and this board gets far more traffic than the Anniversary board. It was fully disclosed as such when I posed it. If people read it before thinking they knew the answer, that would help. @P@nther: @taamvan: You have 4 choices with every ship separately and independently … This part is correct for every WWII edition at least back to and including Anniversary Edition. Thank you. That is all I was asking. The rules do not state this explicitly. Considering the naval retreat rule in which the attacker retreats with naval units and they all must go back to a single sea zone from which at least one ship came… I thought it plausible that a similar ‘all or nothing’ rule may apply here.
