This only works if there are only Italian aricraft scrambling. I usually use two fighters from the United Kingdom terirtory, and the fighter from Malta-the fighter from Girbraltar should be used along with the cruiser off of Girbraltar (it takes three submarines to have more than an 80% chance to kill it, my normal standard to win a battle, so the submarines are usually used for easier prey in the north, especially if Germany attacks the Soviet Union in the first turn, which will nessecitate one submarine in sea zone 125) to destroy the Italian navy off of Malta. If a German aircraft lands in Southern Italy, I usually will call of the attack, as there is a less than 80% chance to win. All of this assumes Germany invades the Soviet Union in the first turn.
Island Fighter Scramble Range
-
A friend of mine and I are having a disagreement on fighters defensive scramble range. I say that a fighter can scramble only in the sea zone in which the island is in. My friend believes that it is the island sea zone AND all surrounding sea zones.
Who is right?
Thanks for any help.

Only the seazone which the island is in. It would have bizarre consequences if all surrounding seazones would be in range too. An airbase on Sicily would become standard!

The answer given is definitely correct. We made a phone call to WoC because we had the same questions. The rules state sea zones Notice the “s” surrounding
the island. This caused us some confusion -
“Sea zones” on page 16 is plural because “islands” is plural. Each island may scramble only into its own sea zone, as is clearly stated on page 25 in the air base unit description.

Whomever asked this question has no idea what they are talking about and clearly don’t understand simple language.
