Need your scramble order for Egypt

[BombsAway]

Just a naval base in Egypt

[Me1945]

This is what the current rules say (I sent you the link)

Scramble:
Scrambling is a special movement that the defender can make at the end of the Combat Move phase. It must be done after all of the attacker’s combat movements have been completed and all attacks have been declared. The attacker may not change any combat movements or attacks after the defender has scrambled.
A quick reaction team of no more than 3 defending fighters and tactical bombers (strategic bombers can’t scramble) located on each island or coastal territory that has an operative air base can be scrambled to defend against attacks in the sea zones adjacent to those territories. These air units can be scrambled to help friendly units in adjacent sea zones that have come under attack. They can also be scrambled to resist amphibious assaults from adjacent sea zones, whether or not the territory being assaulted is the territory containing the air base. They may defend against the enemy ships conducting the amphibious assault even if friendly ships are not present.

[BombsAway]

You can only scramble from “operative air bases”, Egypt does not presently have an airbase.

[Me1945]

Did you read above? If understand this correctly, you can scramble and sea combat occurs. In this case you’ll loose your Tac, but no bombardment happens.
Whatever, I don’t like scramble in this particular turn.
I am posting Egypt combat.

[Me1945]

Egypt Bombardment:
Rolls: 1@4 2@3; Total Hits: 31@4: (2)2@3: (3, 1)

[BombsAway]

If the allies attacked north Italy and there were axis fighters in south Italy they could scramble to resist an amphibious assault even though south Italy is not the territory being attacked.  So in that way you could defend north Italy even though it had no airbase.

[Me1945]

3inf are gone.

[BombsAway]

Sounds good.  I really like that move with Italy, Egypt’s within reach.  Just one more thing, you wouldn’t be able to retreat the rt in Egypt because it came by transport, so you’ll have to keep the mech.

[Me1945]

I am keeping the mech. See the updated map and thanks for comments.
