Is this bugged?
I am experiencing the same problem. From my understanding of the rules as stated in the rulebook, combat in this instance SHOULD work like this:
SCENARIO
SUB A, carrying 8 drillers and an infiltrator, encounters SUB B carrying 9 drillers.
SPECIALIST PHASE
SUB A has one specialist, an infiltrator, which has NO EFFECT since submarines have no shields, and the infiltrator does not destroy drillers. SUB B has no specialists. The specialist phase ends with no net effect.
SHIELD PHASE
This phase is skipped in sub to sub combat.
DRILLER PHASE
The side with more drillers at this point should win. SUB A has 8 drillers, SUB B has 9 drillers. This should result in a victory for SUB B.
EXPECTED RESULT
SUB A should be destroyed. The infiltrator should be captured and returned to the nearest outpost owned by SUB B's owner. SUB B should have 1 drill remaining, and it should continue on to its destination.
END SCENARIO
However, Advanced 1 is not working this way for me. Instead, considering the scenario described above, I'm getting the following result:
EXPERIENCED RESULT
SUB B is destroyed. There is no change to the number of drillers on SUB A, the infiltrator remains on SUB A, and the submarine continues on to its destination.
It seems like there is some problem with the way the infiltrator's ability is being calculated during sub-to-sub combat.
