If I attack a lone transport, do the aircraft near it (if sea zone adjacent to applicable coastal airbase) have the ability to come to its rescue? Or is the transport simply destroyed?

Yes, fighters can scramble to defend a transport.

In the latest printing, that last sentence reads, “Transports may not attack in a sea battle without being accompanied by at least 1 unit with an attack value.”

@Kreuzfeld:

@simon33:

I wish there was a defender decision phase between combat move and conduct combat to clarify these things. Declare kami, scramble and intercept are all effectively done before any dice are rolled.

There is.
Scramble happens at the end of movementphase (as the last thing)
Kami assignment happens as the first ting in combatphase, and are resolved before any combat begins
then you do bombing raids
then you do all your amphibous assault combats
then you do general combat.

RulebookE page 16 says

Scrambling is a special movement that the defender can
make at the end of this phase. It must be done after all of
the attacker�s combat movements have been completed

RulebookP Page 16

Japanese
player can announce at the beginning of this phase that he or
she intends to launch one or more kamikaze strikes in that sea
zone. They are resolved before any combat begins.

It isn’t as obvious as what I would like. That’s all I’m saying. You have to dig into the nuances of the rules to understand how everything works.

I suppose, this thread has been accidentally moved to the Global forum, because the same question has already been answered in the 1942SE-forum:

http://www.axisandallies.org/forums/index.php?topic=38035.msg1547350#msg1547350

(The answer applies for Global, too.)

Yes, if there is a possible scramble there. Is probably a good idea sometimes.
If you are landing a unit amphibiously, yes it would take the territory unopposed. But you have too clear the Sea Zone first, of course. You fail and the unit stays on board.

the best Sydney strike I have seen is when Japan takes West Aus, lands planes on it next round, and sacks Sydney the round after.

No worries :-D It’s in a bunch of other threads, but here’s the latest Alpha+1. Frankly though I like Alpha+ the best so far. I think it’s the most balanced. Haven’t tried +1 yet though.

Alpha+1 here:
