#5 I fear the Russians might be providing to the Syrians, in the "special cargo", the required ingredients for personal gas warfare.

#11 And what is Champ to do if a US destroyer or two are on the bottom following the first salvo ?

One of the possible consequences of the Player 2 Moves phase. Sure, the SAG should be able to defend itself. At least on paper. Despite never having done it under war conditions. (as Clauswitz said, "shit happens")

A counter-attack may lack results, but consider the Arab embrace of failure as victory And that even scorched paint on a USN vessel would be a mini-triumph.
