Torpedo boats immune to Kondor missilesI saw this recently and I think it's one of the most obvious houserules.

Agreed. Their is simply no way a WWII Glide Missle would be able to hit a MTB.

How would you reflect this in errata? Here's the existing text in the Rules Update (27 Feb 09).
Small Ship Evasion
Destroyers and Torpedo Boats are naturally evasive and hard to hit.
• Extended Range: Destroyers and Torpedo Boats are immune to Gunnery attacks at range 4 or greater.
• Battleship Main Batteries: Battleship main battery attacks take a penalty of -2 per attack die against Destroyers and Torpedo Boats (they hit only on 6, but 6 still counts as 2 hits). This penalty overlaps (does not stack) with similar penalties such as Crippled. Use the worst penalty that applies.
• Torpedo Attack: Torpedo attacks can't hit Torpedo Boats.
Maybe something like below but that only addresses anti-ship missiles - what if there's another aircraft attack that comes out with a Range 1 (like Ohka):
• Anti-ship Missiles: Torpedo boats are immune to anti-ship missile attacks.

G'day all,
I'd go further....
• Bomb Attack: Bomb attacks can't hit Torpedo Boats.
Would make Torpedo Boats immune to attack by Patrol Bombers and Dive Bombers and Kamikazes.
Leaving Torpedo Boats still extremely vunerable to straffing (main gun attacks by Fighter-bombers etc)

25 dive bombers could eliminate a squadron of torpedo boats easily. 3 Patrol Bombers coudn't.

The massive concussion alone would do it!

Question.
Why would you waste you anti ship missle on Torpedo boats anyway?

My son does this just to piss me off.
"I know it doesn't make any sense but the rules don't say I can't do it. Plus its fun to watch peoples' reaction."
Wait...what!?!? You can't....that's....grrrr.
