It is a regular tactic for me to interdict the crap out of the British, I’ve played games (Long) where interdiction has cost in the hundreds of IPC’s by the end.
One day, you’ll have to tell me how it’s done…
In my games, Uk often has a destroyer (or more) in sz106 and a bunch of planes in Uk so that any try to suck UK IPC in sz 109 or 119 is due to fail.
I will admit that I HATE BUYING DESTROYERS with ANY Power. The loss of IPC’s to chase Subs so I can build a fleet is just terrible. They ONLY thing they do for 8 IPCs is destroy subs. My last game I rolled terribly with my battleships defending Britian and with 4 subs were in SZ 109 and it took the USA on turn 6 to finally allow me to build a fleet.
Yes 109 destroyer usually survives, but its only one. and I usually build a sub G1 and waste the remaining subs with aircraft to take out 109 when I play germany on G2. IF he hasn’t withdrawn them to SZ 106 off of new Brunswick.
NOTHING IS Worse than HAVING to buy destroyers. Since they no longer bombard and can’t carry troops (Pacific 99 for japan)
