Game Conditions Roll for map. Twilight, meaning start in daylight and play night rules starting with turn 4.
Special Rules 1. Before starting the game, the Axis player will send a private message to mnnorthstars with the names of the four subs located in markers A, B, C, D, E, F, G, or H. 2. Axis player places first, placing 4 markers in row 11 and 4 in row 9. Allied player places both destroyers out of play to be deployed later. 3. When a destroyer ends the sea movement step in the same sector as a marker, the Axis player reveals the name of the submarine that marker represents or declares that there is no submarine assigned to that marker. 4. If a submarine attacks a destroyer, reveal its name and location when it does. 5. At the end of each turn, the Allied player rolls a die. On a 3 or higher, place one destroyer in row A(dice roll + 5). For example, a roll of 6 on the first turn would put Alsedo in A11 as the last action of turn 1. On a 2 or less, the Allied player may place a destroyer in A2 or do nothing. Do not check for legal placement until the end of the sea movement phase of the next turn. 6. On the first turn of darkness the Axis player automatically wins initiative. 7. In darkness Alsedo and Lazarra cannot use the Sub Hunter ability.
