The Germans have no destroyer present, therefore the defending air units can not hit the sub, and of course the sub can never hit planes. Think of it in terms of the combined arms rule, air units can only hit subs if they are combined with at least 1 participating destroyer, the difference with this particular combined arms is that it works while attacking and defending. In the scenario that you described, the sub would destroy the remaining transport without rolling and the defending fighters can do nothing.
Scramble question. *important *
-
The UK has Egypt with an air base and 3 fighters. If Italy moves a warship into sz 98 (adjacent ), aND then GermanyGermanys following turn they move transports into the zone for an assault, can the fighters scramble even though I own the sz?
-
Absolutely. And the Italians cannot join in, as the Germans are the aggressors.
Owning the SZ is not relevant. -
wittmann is right, the Italians can’t participate in the German attack so they are bystanders. By rule the German transport should endure one round of combat, then it can retreat if still alive (unless you are playing a friendly game and allow the German player to rethink his move based on the new info).
