Sort of... There are torpedo attack roll modifiers from -1 to +2, and you start out with -1. You can spend political influence and prestige to improve them.

-1?!?! To start with? You've got it easy young fella-me-lad. You've also sunk a few major warships, I'm just about to end 1942 in Silent War, the chance of sinking any of their big ships is poor even with a Gato boat [:(]

So I guess I shouldn't mention that I can't actually lose the game for not meeting tonnage targets?[:'(]

Then how do you lose?

Is there a win/lose situation then apart from final victory? Those tonnage checks can be tough, especially trying to sink 90k in 11 weeks, so perhaps that's why there aren't targets.

Just lost Perch in the Molucca Strait when she was sent on a mining operation [:(] So far that makes 11 boats lost, 3 scuttled in Manila and 1 CTL up to the end of 1942.

You can win by something called "England imperiled", which is a period from the summer of 1940 to just before Barbarossa, where if you sink enough tonnage, you can cause England to make a separate peace.

Then how do you lose?

By not getting enough victory points. There's a chart covering the whole game period, broken up into months, where you can check the number of ships and amount of tonnage sunk in the past month and earn up to five VP's in each category. At the end of the game, the VP's are totaled and you check your victory level.

I'm not doing very well, as we close on the end of 12/39.

Good morning friends.

Would like to borrow my AH 'France 1940'?[;)]

Ah - one of my greatest triumphs was with this game - pretty much crushing the German army with the French... i would have completely annihilated one half of the German Army except my opponents convinced me that the move that would have encircled the German Army was illegal... i found out the next day it WAS legal.
Heh, you've played board games with Helmut? [:D]

Dang, back home for 2 posts and you already have me laughing out loud! [:D]

Time to pack up the cooler and get ready for a long afternoon and evening of hockey tryout sessions and tailgating.
