USS Somers **Done**

Split fire won't work on a destroyer as it subtracts 4 dice from both attacks.

I like the Code Intercepts and Destroyer Hunter, at least to playtest it out. Do we have a point total with this SA breakout?

Im aware of that. The ships somers engaged were a gabbianio (might have actually been antilope itself) and a converted trawler.

As only 1 class of destroyers has 3 armour 2dice per attack gives a goid chance of hitting.

By W@S recokoning they were both destroyers. Hull 1 destroyers but definately destroyers

I don't get too hung up on the exact tonnage of light ship/DD/DE etc involved at the scale of this game. Destroyer Hunter would fit just fine IMO.

First, I propose we adjust the torpedo values to 2/2/2. The Somer's class had 3 X 4 tube launchers on the centerline. (Although the center bank was evidently removed fairly early in the war.) Compare to Bagley with 4 x 4 tube launchers (16 total) although two banks were opposite and not on the centerline. I think that is mostly a wash with Bagley.

So something like this?

SAs

Code Intercepts - At the end of the second player's Sea Movement step, you may place this unit in an adjacent sector that contains an enemy Auxiliary.
Light Ship Tactics - Once per game, at the beginning of the Surface attack phase, you can declare you're using Light Ship Tactics. If you do, whenever an enemy Ship makes an attack against this unit this turn, roll a die. On a 5 or higher, this unit takes no damage from that attack.

I agree. So what do you think the cost should be?
