I will make all needed rolls via a virtual dice roller, and post the results with the post that I make for the roll.
Promotions:
Ranks
Lieutenant Commander Commander Captain
Awards
Navy Commendation Award
(available starting in
11/1943), a player must return to
base having successfully completed
some type of Special Mission:
minelaying, transport, recon, etc.
(7.4). The player with this award subsequently
is never affected by the Random Event “Run
Aground!” and treats it as “no event” if he
happens to roll it.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Bronze Star
a player must return to base with a
successful patrol that includes the
sinking of at least 3 ships. A player
with the Bronze Star is only
Relieved For Cause after 4
unsuccessful patrols in a row, not just 3
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Silver Star
must return from a patrol that resulted in
at least 4 ships sunk. A player
possessing a Silver Star does not
get Relieved For Cause (11.4), no
matter how many unsuccessful
patrols he has after obtaining it
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Navy Cross
a player must return from patrol having
sunk at least 5 ships (or at least 1
Capital Ship).
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Medal of Honor
must have finished at least
3 patrols (not required to be
consecutive) and have had sunk 7
or more ships on each of the 3
patrols. He would receive the MoH
at the end of the third qualifying patrol (instead
of a Navy Cross). For example, if a player
completes patrols of 8, 6, and 7 sinkings, he
does not qualify. At some later point, if he turns
in a patrol of 7+ sunk ships, he would then be
eligible. Any Captain with the MoH receives an
automatic boat upgrade (no die roll required)
which may be saved for future use if desired. A
player possessing a MoH does not get Relieved
For Cause (11.4), no matter how many
unsuccessful patrols he has after obtaining it
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Purple Heart
must have received a
wound of some type during the
patrol. Notice the Purple Heart (and
actually, all awards) may be
awarded posthumously. The Purple
Heart has no impact on game play, but is
included for historical purposes.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Submarine Combat Badge Insignia
awarded when a player
returns to base after a successful
patrol of any type. The player with
this insignia may re-roll (once) a
crew upgrade attempt, if the
original roll duplicates an existing upgrade. If
the re-roll also duplicates an exiting upgrade,
treat as “No Effect.” For every subsequent
successful war patrol, a gold star is placed
on the insignia (and for the 5th successful patrol,
a silver star.) Gold/silver stars on the insignia
have no game play impact, but are included for
historical interest.
Unit Awards
[11.3.10] UNIT AWARDS. The Submarine itself
can earn three different awards: the Navy Unit
Commendation (NUC), the Presidential Unit
Citation (PUC), and the Battle Star. These awards
are separate from any award the Captain may
receive and are therefore exempt from the restriction
of 11.3.7 of one performance award per patrol
Navy Unit Commendation
The NUC may be awarded on a 1d6
roll after a successful patrol that
includes the sinking of at least 6
ships. 1-3 = NUC awarded, 4-6 =
no award. It also may be awarded
from a PUC die attempt, see below.
Ships who have the Navy Unit Commendation
may re-roll one crash dive attempt per patrol.
Flip the Commendation marker to its reverse
side to reflect usage during a patrol.
Presidential Unit Citation
The PUC may be awarded on a 1d6
roll after a successful patrol that
includes the sinking of at least 7
ships 1-2 = PUC awarded. 3-6 =
award downgraded, boat receives
NUC instead. Ships that have been
awarded the Presidential Unit Citation may reroll
one torpedo miss (not dud) per patrol. Flip
the Citation marker to its reverse side to reflect
usage during a patrol.
Battle Stars
A submarine receives a Battle Star
for each successful patrol. There is
no limit to the number of Battle
Stars that can be earned. Battle
Stars increase the chance a new
replacement named crewman (not
generic crew) will arrive as an expert (roll on a
1d10):
