Emperor Elliott Posted June 30, 2013 Share Posted June 30, 2013 Hi All! I am currently playing a game as the allies on the new 1939 scenario, and was wondering if you guys could point out some effective tactics for hunting down subs and Spee!

brianlala Posted June 30, 2013 Share Posted June 30, 2013 Early on at least, just accept that you are going to take some convoy losses. My favorite tactic is to guard the high value spots & once your patrols stubble onto a sub to surround it without attacking. Here's how my rounds go: 1) move destroyers around until they stumble into a sub 2) once sub is found, they box it in so that it cannot move 3) if #2 is impossible then setup some cruisers & battleships around the sub a few hexes away 4) then bring in the destroyers to attack it 5) you might not destroy it completely on that turn but the goal is to get it to run into your other ships when it tries to flee so that you get a second turn to pounce on it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
