You take me for teh n00b?
(actually, the place in your screenies is mostly where the naval battle would be at, if Russia and Asia placed some parts of their fleet in the Pacific, so definitely a lousy spot to surface in at defcon 1 )
Naah, and I agree with placing subs at defcon 5 and placing them first, unless you're going to scout with ships first. In fact it's in my script for the Defcon tutorial. I just meant to show that it's not necessary in most cases to get into enemy waters to hit coastal cities with subs.
Edit: and to also show the proximity and range of subs which from spectating it seems that most don't take into account. I like to get my subs just barely in range of whatever target I'm going for. Hugging the enemy coastline is not my style unless I know its safe and want to maximize the number of potential targets.
