Cruel Seas: Run Silent, Run Deep

This unofficial expansion adds detailed submarine rules for convoy actions. Submarines operate at speed on the surface, then dive to hide from escorts and prepare ambushes against merchant ships. Players track depth and position with clear markers while submerged submarines move slowly and have limited awareness of surface activity. Escorts search for decoys, shadows, and transient contacts as submarines attempt to pass through defensive lines. Surface combat remains fast and artillery-focused, while underwater play emphasizes concealment, patience, and the eventual close encounter between submarine and escort.
