Just picked up Harpoon, and like it as much as the board version. Great
Wargame! Anyway, my problem is that whenever a submarine launches a torpedo
(I'm getting better at preventing this!), it almost always hits. Sometimes I
get lucky and am pointing head on to it and get a miss, but rarely. Does
anyone have any good strategies for reducing the hit chances for incoming
torpedoes? The individual ships don't seem to do much turning into them, and I
can't get my guns to fire at them (heard that this occasionally works in real
life, so I thought I'd try it), but nothing works. Any ideas?
