Transport question

China needs to legitimize their hold over these fake island bases theyve conjured up. Every time they challenge us or some other power over them, and we back down, it makes their foot-hold a little more legit.

Welcome, Sir_Cala!

You are correct.

The easiest way to count air movement is everytime you pass over a line on the board it counts as 1 movement point.  So leaving an island  cost 1 movement point to get into the sea zone.

No.  Scrambling occurs during the Conduct Combat phase, so all combat movements will have been completed.  Scrambling only occurs in sea zones in which attacking units end their combat movement.

@moompix:

They can’t hit the subs, or be hit by the subs. So, what would be the point?

just a question dude.  maybe some new thing with the whole “scramble” thing.

Thats clear JAPAN is an Island ;) (surry I am used to rules lawyering … :D)

Yes, Air and ground units can kill each other.  You have to understand that an Infantry unit contains infantry and all the support units that go with it.  Some of the support units will include AA units.  Axis and Allies is set up to be a big picture view of the war, not as much detail as you might imagine.  I can understand why it becomes confusing when we have artillery, armor and infantry represented seperately.  In earlier games, we didn’t have arty and it was understood they were part of the other manuver units.

Enjoy the game!

Ok, great. Thanks for the answer!
