PBY-5A Canso *DONE*

I was thinking a 1st turn initiative bonus

Valiant ASW:  Once per game, before you roll this unit's ASW attack against an enemy Submarine, you may declare that you're using Valiant ASW. If you do, roll a die. On a roll of 1 or 2 destroy this aircraft. You roll two extra attack dice against that Submarine.

Rather than a ASW buff, what about denying an attack if you manage to damage the sub?

I appreciate the creativity, but 
I don't know if I like this. The torpedoes are already suppressed, aren't they? I think I would prefer to keep it simple and use an existing SA rather than create a new one. It appears that this SA may require use of a marker or remembering that the results from an attack in the air attack phase will be carried over into the sub attack phase. I prefer KISS and avoiding complex SA's, but I realize that is just me.

It's taking me awhile to catch up. Here are the specifications on the Canso.

Game Stats

Canso

Aircraft – Patrol Bomber
1941
MG: -
Bomb: 5 (same as GST)
ASW: 3 (same as PBY)
A/VA/HP: 3/5/1

Loiter - Rearming counters aren't placed on this unit during the Air Return step.[/b]

With 5 MG's it should probably get Light Defensive Armament. Remember that SA did not exist at the time of Set I. The Soviet PBY/GST only had four MGs.

Notes: Canada received American made PBY's in 1941. The first Canadian built PBY came out of the Boeing Canada assembly line and flew in July 1941. The first operational use of Canso's was October 1942. Canso's served in 11 RCAF squadrons in WWII. Some of the squadrons were attached to the RAF.

According to PBY - The Catalina Flying Boat by Roscoe Creed, Canso's made eighty five submarine attacks resulting in seventeen kills. All the kills were in the Atlantic.

Trying to think of something relating to the early spotting of jap fleet. Maybe some variation of shadowing, early warning or something. Nearest? (within a certain range, 3?) 1 or maybe 2 friendly ships (same sector) may move (1 or 2) sectors away? from spotted ship(s). Giving a limited move after sea movement phase. Could be helpful if you initially moved first and have been closed with superior forces.

But was that a canso specifically? Or just a catalina with canadian pilot?
