Thank you. Had not seen that and was unhappy to contradict Kriegkund, but could not see any difference with what I had said. Now I realise without a japanese DOW against UK/Anzac a Japanese player could have moved through an occupied sea hex on its way to a Dutch territory. Now it cannot. Though, of course, my way and knowing I was provoking war with UK/Anzac, I would have attacked them too and, therefore, not moved illegally through a sea zone . You have to love Japan.
Scramble question for Krieghund
-
Say a lone transport( with land units) attacks an island with a fighter and an airbase on it.
The seazone was empty before the Combat Move.
-
May the fighter scramble to the seazone to defend against the transport’s amphibious assault?(automatically destroying it).
-
Even though the seazone was empty, is it still considered a combat in the seazone allowing the fighter to scramble?
(I guess ‘yes’ for both Q1 & Q2)

You guess correctly. Your transports need an escort when amphibiously assaulting an island with an airbase.
