No capital ships. Had 4 subs sunk, one by circling torpedo.
Comsubpac(or is it compacsub) is very tired, but pleased. I messed on a few rules occasionally, but believe my errors evened out.
Now a weeks vacation for the commander and I will be back on patrol again, maybe to tackle the grand campaign.

Q2......Rule 14.6(E) makes no reference to applying the TDC modifier for the 'target sub'...BUT rule 14.6(D) does advise that a TDC marker is drawn and placed for it.
Is the TDC modifier applied in Sub v Sub combat?

I downloaded the Vassal mod for this game and I'm trying to figure out how to play it. I can't find any list of scenarios, or what ships are included in which scenario, etc., so I'm not sure how to set it up to start. Does anyone know where I can find that material?

Thanks,

If you reveal combat events and/or aircraft, are you required to fire blind at unflipped targets or can you choose to not place all of your TDC counters? ]]> feeds@yuku.com (mtyree1972) http://compassgames.yuku.com/topic/605 Wed, 20 Aug 2008 11:56:48 GMT http://compassgames.yuku.com/topic/604/t/3-questions-on-the-rules-hopefully-most-of-them-new.html

I have sank 17 Ships for 68,000 tons.
I lost one sub to a circular running torpedo.
One sub was a "constructive total loss" due to having two damage tokens when it returned to port.

I seem to be in no danger of meeting the 70,000 ton requirement by the end of February 1942.

Is it usually this easy to meet your tonnage quotas?
At this rate it will... ]]> feeds@yuku.com (Edsel62) http://compassgames.yuku.com/topic/418 Sun, 06 Apr 2008 20:46:02 GMT http://compassgames.yuku.com/topic/419/t/Combat-Calculator-v1-1-Questions.html
How do you determine the value that goes in the Convoy field? I can't figure this one out at all.

Is the Defense field the defense value of the submarine? ]]> feeds@yuku.com (Edsel62) http://compassgames.yuku.com/topic/419 Fri, 28 Mar 2008 07:58:01 GMT http://compassgames.yuku.com/topic/420/t/first-time-silent-war.html
i have some questions. since it's my first time i thought i'd try a patrol scenario (henry g munson)

1. how do i set up the board for the patrol scenario? If it says
starting date is from july 1942 do i only use subs from 1942 onwards?

2. it says 3 weeks, does that mean 3 turns only?

Question 1: In the rule book, at the beginning of Section 4.0, it says for patrol scenarios to skip the Strategic and Triple-R segments except for the prep for operation phase. Is this for the first turn only, or for the whole patrol. I was wondering because if I get damage from combat or RTB from the END check, wouldn't I have to do the Triple-R segment on the turn following my arrival at a base?

Question 2: In... ]]> feeds@yuku.com (cyberjockey) http://compassgames.yuku.com/topic/421 Wed, 05 Mar 2008 19:26:12 GMT http://compassgames.yuku.com/topic/425/t/Forced-RTB.html
If a sub is forced to RTB per rule 15.22, then it moves to the base regardless of speed limits and does not perform a Transit Event Roll.

Is this correct?

I start April '42 with 19 ships at 57,000 tons. It was close until the second week in March, when multiple subs scored huge. Triton, Grayling, and Tuna combined for 21,000 tons. Grayling sunk 2 and Tuna took down an 8 ton Maru in the Marshall's. I'm Enjoying this campaign a lot, The number of subs is not that large and there a lot of Op areas open for play.

Will there be anything included in the re-release of Silent War different from the initial release, such as items now available only through download:

- rules reflecting all initial release errata?
- the extra counters?
- Campaign Set #1?
- Campaign Set #2 and counters?

Thanks!

Or can you choose to send 4 out of 6 leaving the other 2 to deploy the next turn?

Only asking because I'm playing a mini campaign and the limited number of op areas means that the congregating risk factor is quite high at the moment.
