Air Units vs. Subs-
My reading of the rules is that all air combat is done before other combat so that if an air unit, along with other surface naval units, attacks a sub in a sea zone and the air unit hits, the sub is gone before it gets to fire.
With this as a basis, if air units are used in defense of a convoy zone against attacking subs, would not the air units fire first and any subs hit would not get to roll to damage the convoy?
Naval Warfare and Strategic Warfare in the same sea zone-
Please clarify what happens when an attacker chooses to attack a convoy sea zone both ways. Specifically when the defender chooses to only defend against the strategic attack.
While the rules talk about the two attacks being simultaneous, your one example makes it seem like the attacking surface naval units get to do their damage first on the defending naval units and then the remaining defenders get to roll against the strategic attacker.
To me it would seem that if the atacker chooses to have the two attacks but the defender chooses to only defend one of the attacks, then the one attack (that the defender choose not to defend) would not be made. Or would have to be done after the other attack (the one that the defender choose to respond to) is dealt with.
