**Q: What does faded numbers mean behind engine/guns/misc. damage spaces (2nd/3rd printing)?**
A: If you are talking about the numbers on the Hull damage track, the numbers indicate how many additional months your submarine will have to stay in in refit between cruises. If you are talking about the numbers in parenthesis next to the 8.8cm status box it tells you how ammo tokens you place there for use in your cruise.  The numbers in the electric engine and diesel engine boxes indicate status changes to the subs engine operations that will have game play ramifications explained in the rules manual.

**Q: Hi, this is the third printing?**
A: CLS Games is selling the 3rd printing.  But, what edition you get depends upon from whom you order.  At the time of your question, there are 11 different listings for this game, so you would need  to check with each of the other 10 folks with listings here to know what each is selling.
