#10 Werner Hartmann (Commander) GER - ahead slow

This card was released for development early as the commander mechanic and costing will require testing. Having a axis commander doesn't hurt that.

A simple fleet bonus would be wolfpack leader, as a derivitive of flotilla leader

Those all look great! Unrestricted warfare is especially scary :-)

Hunters seems like it might pop of only once or twice during a 100/200 point game (first turn, and maybe turn 4 or 5 after the number of ships has thinned out a bit), which makes it a little steep (paying for 4 subs + commander)

While it makes a neat commander it might be a tad overpowered. I might suggest removing at least one feature. Otherwise, he's going to be pretty expensive to attach to those 4 submarines.

Is hunters limited to one sub per turn, or is it as many as fit the conditions?

In that case I would favour unrestricted warfare: it lends the subs a strategic power rather than increasing their already significant tactical power. I think it will also increase the power of DDs and CAs/CLs (since you won't be able to bring a solo super BB against Germany).

Would actually make U-2511 cost effective. Elite crew and Unrestricted Warfare gives the sub an effective armor of 6 and it can hold a sea zone if it's unoccupied. It also has Dangerous Quarry so if it's adjacent to a objective it can move into the objective sea zone if attacked and missed (strong possibility).

Hard nut to crack even with an Avenger or even a good allied destroyer. Truly frightening combo.

Ok. Im going to make a proposal to wind this up. Looking for endordement (move,second) or counter proposal.

Werner Hartmann - Commander - 1939 - Cost 7(estimate)
(REQUIRED)Commander: This submarine in the deployment phase. If that submarine is destroyed or removed from the map, this unit is removed from play.

Flagship 1

Unrestricted Warfare: If no enemy ships are local or adjacent. The unit this commander is attached to can capture an objective if it is after turn 2

Wolfpack Leader: You get +1 initative for each submarine you control with wolfpack other than the submarine this commander is attached to. Up to a maximum of 3.

Elite Crew: The unit this commander is attached to has ASW thread reduced by 1.
