thanks alot guys, i thought that was right, but wasnt sure the rules were a bit vague.
So in the case of some cruisers that get for example ESCORT KILLER - Eugenio di Savoia- and it says it can make 2 gunnery attacks against seperate targets, as long as one is a destroyer, it gets 2 main gunnery attacks then in that surface attack phase when it would normally only get one? is that right?
Correct. Ships like the HMS Kent and Eugenio di Savoia may make two separate attacks using their main gunnery in the same phase. Ships typically only have one main gunnery attack in the surface attack phase. Some ships have secondary and even tertiary gunnery values which also gives you additional surface attacks.
