Depth charge effects chart.

The submarine player rolls 2D6 and consults the table:

       H -hull compartment flooded.

       S -Steering jammed.

       T -Torpedo tube doors jammed (dice for bow (1-4) or stern (5-6) -cannot fire torpedoes).

       NE -No effect.

       F -Fire.

       G -Deck gun (if fitted).

                            Ds -Forced deep and speed reduced to 2 knots.

                            Tx -Torpedo Tubes damaged (as above) -also dice for magazine explosion.

Any submarine with 2 compartments damaged must surface, as must one with a fire that was not extinguished in the first damage control roll.

One of the problems in anti-submarine warfare is the lack of observable effects; the submarine player rolls a D6 and consults this table.

	1H	2H	T	Tx
1	NE	NE	NE	NE
2	NE	NE	NE	OS
3	NE	NE	NE	OS
4	NE	OS	NE	OS
5	NE	OS	NE	OS
6	OS	OS	OS	E

 Key: NE -no observable effect.

        OS -oil slick on surface.

        E -underwater explosion, oil and wreckage on surface.

If an E is rolled then the submarine marker is removed; for all others the marker will remain but be removed if successfully pinged.
