Ask me anything about the board game

[Darkreaver1980]

Hi there,

You need the enigma sheets. Use the code from the day you received the message.

You need the enigma code sheets. Look up the code corresponding to the mission date.

I have ordered the board game, just wondering when using the hydrophone or periscope is it used continously until either watch change or the crew member moves or do you need to activate them each time.

You need to activate it each time you use it but most people (me included) do it like its a busy action. Means aslong the crew is on the station you can use periscope or hydrophone if you have spend the inital cost

question, what is best way to deal with minfield, full reverse, dive, r turn to get out?

[colonelusar]

I would stop and do full reverse, and pray that the current is not going to drift you into a mine.

I would say turn and run, as far as I can tell course changes are done instantly.

Short answer is each time its used it needs activation, the peri/hydro is active when you need to adjust an order in the app other than Course or Speed, else you can keep it up as long as you like. It takes an order each time you raise the periscope. Previous responses as they have stated, have stated house rules. Also understand that it does increase your chance of being spotted (as it did in real life).

This is truly a fantastic game, just played my first 4 player game and it was awesome, even the two girls enjoyed it seeing it as a problem to be solved instead of a war themed game (which it carries well also)

Course change is not instant, you will turn to the heading set so if you are moving you will turn in an arc. I am not clear on the odds of hitting a mine or if anything besides duration in the quadrant influences that chance. Best to get out of the quadrant super fast and the way you came in would be the fastest way.
