Shouldn’t we have had the option to scramble against the Gibraltar landing??

[Vold]

you mean from the fleet?  Gib was unoccupied and (testing my very shady memory here, no map atm) I don’t recall it having an airbase to scramble from - it didn’t come up as an option.

Let me know if it needs to be pulled back.

[JeffM]

Vold,

What RGP was asking about is the air base on Morocco.  Being that combat occurred in sz 92, I assumed that it would ask for a scramble decision to send 3 planes to defend the sea zone.

If the game did not give you the option at all then don’t worry about it… we will continue without the scramble.  If it did ask, I would prefer to go ahead and scramble to try and defend against the Gibraltar invasion.

Jeff

[Vold]

There was no combat in sz92, the only battle was sz112

[rgp44]

there doesn’t have to be combat in the sea zone, an amphibious landing can be scrambled against unless they have changed that rule in the last month, see:

http://www.axisandallies.org/forums/index.php?topic=26858.0

[rgp44]

It flagged my last post as spam for linking to a posting from this very site!  Anyway, if you search “scramble” on the site you’ll see a discussion about the Novgorod sea zone that covers this topic.  Planes can scramble against an amphibious invasion even if there are no ships in the sz, if it did not offer you the scramble option then this is a glitch we should report to whoever is editing the game

[Vold]

Here’s the relevant excerpt from the rules:

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.

I can see how it could be interpreted this way, but I need to wrap my head around how an airbase in Morocco can scramble on a landing in Gib on a sea zone that is already controlled by Axis.  I can see it happening for a neighboring territory, one across the water doesn’t make much sense to me, especially when I had control of the zone.

In that same vein, I should have been entitled to a scramble in sz112 had I had a plane in W.Ger capable of doing so (I may have, I don’t have my map atm), yes?

But, rules are rules regardless of if they are coded into TripleA or if I agree with the interpretation :)

In any event, I would like for Garg to weigh in with a verdict before rolling it back.  Not to be petty or because it will make any big difference in the outcome, but so we have a definitive rule clarification going forward for this and future games in the tourney - and it’ll get some more visibility to get it coded into the next TripleA/map version.

We’re all learning here :)

V

[rgp44]

On the US to Norway move you only had 2 HBs in WG, there were no fighters or tac bombers to scramble, go ahead and run it by Garg but i’ve seen him state this rule on the boards as well so i know he is going to confirm the scramble order.

[rgp44]

i ran through the turn and TripleA does not query for scramble orders in this instance, bug that needs to be fixed

[Vold]

now that I can see my map you are right on W.Ger - I suspected as much because I had staged my fighters out of Paris.  However, now I know for next time.

How can a scramble be initiated in TripleA?  It’s not letting me add land units (apparently it classifies fighters as land units) to water.

[rgp44]

Not sure how to do that, but if you see the dice i just rolled we can use that and just run the combat “manually” and then edit the results.  You just roll your 3 dice in order DD, Ftg, Ftg; i’ll take casualties, then i’ll roll my three dice all fighters so no order necessary and you’ll take your casualties and so on.  You just need to be in some version of our game, doesn’t need to be the current one and use the “roll dice” option under the “game” menu.  Remember you are attacking so the carrier doesn’t get a roll and your fighters are at 3 and ours are at 4.  If you would rather withdraw the attack because you didn’t know about the scramble feel free to re-do the Italian turn since there was no other combat.

rgp44

[Vold]

Sounds like a plan.  I’m going to do the same move with one adjustment in light of the rule clarification, not your scramble - I’ll bring the bomber along instead of sending it to 112.

Rolls will be in order of 1b(4), 2f(3), 1d(2) (sub and cv are not combatants in the fight).

I’ll let you roll for the scrambled planes

V

[Vold]

1,6,3,2 - 3 hits.

[rgp44]

wow, back up if you’re bringing the bomber we don’t want to scramble because then its 12-12 and you have 6 hits and we have 3.

[rgp44]

whoa that should read, if you’re doing that you need to run the turn without the scramble.
