Hi,
I don’t see this ability in AAP40 (it is listed in AAE40).
Is it done on purpose for this game ?

It also applies to AAP40, and was corrected in the FAQ.

Both of them

@Krieghund:

@moralecheck:

The UK not only can’t land it’s units, but it has to endure one round of defensive fire from the scrambled unit(s) before it can retreat. Any units on those transports are lost.

Not so. Since it’s not the transport’s turn, it is not in the battle and can’t move. The scrambled fighter simply prevents the amphibious landing without inflicting any casualties.

@moralecheck:

KH explained: A fighter can scramble to join a battle or against an amphibious assault. It cannot scramble against ships that are just putting around its waters though. This raises a new question, so I hope Krieghund is reading: If I send transports (only), or even a fleet with warships to assault an island with scramblable (I made up a word!!) units, can I send a fighter into the waters with it, even though that is not really a combat move (but it will be if my opponent scrambles)?

Yes. Just the chance of combat is enough to justify the move.

UK units on a US transport. Missed that. My bad.

@calvinhobbesliker:

If the Jap fleet is at Singapore, what stops the US from taking Truk, which threatans all VC’s except Calcutta and San Francisco? What stops the US from landing in Korea? You need quite a few planes in japan to stop the capture of Korea, and those planes are needed in the CBI theater.

x4 fighters and x4 dive bombers.

At least by US2, and maybe even on US3, depending on where the US fleet is based out of.

@robbie358:

Well, to answer your question… when I play as Japan in this game I build ICs in China or Malaya in order to turn out ground units for taking India. I would rather spend 12 bucks on 3 mech inf than 18 bucks on tanks and the rest of my money goes towards building Navy to ward off the US. Your power lies in your airforce so what you really need (more than tanks) are just guys to lose, but plain infantry move so freaking slow.

I do that to, I put a minor in French indo china

@UN:

@calvinhobbesliker:

@UN:

Did you also put in the 10 Chinese infantry? :?

yeah. Keep in mind that japan had 8 more planes than the allies.

I still call it luck. Grumble

I have a question. I think, since Japan has no navy at ALL in the Dutch East Indies I can have ANZAC send its submarine fleets to disrupt convoys there. But I’m not sure exactly how convoy disruptions work. It said it can’t exceed the combined IPC value of all adjacent territories or islands in the disrupted sea zone.

So if I had 4 submarines in SZ42, the most amount of IPC I can destroy is 19 IPCs (3 from Malaya, 4 from Sumatra, 4 from Java, 4 from Boreno, 3 from Celebes)?

Z42 only borders Java, so you can only disrupt Java for 4 ipcs

I just think that if they are treated like airbases and naval bases then it would be easy, any territory can buy them, and they give an extra move if the unit starts at that location.
