Regarding scrambled aircraft during an amphibious assault

@tmartin if the sea battle fails and the Transports weren’t hit during the combat,
at the beginning of the next Round,as the attacker, you can choose to retreat the Transports. They can retreat one SZ from which they came into the battle . There might be 2 or 3 options , depending how many routes were taken to arrive at the SZ.

The units that were going to unload would still be on the Transports , of course .
It would be up to the other side to attack them on their Turn and try and sink them .

Yep…

If you place your invasion fleet in seazone 112… Could´t you just attack Novogrod through seazone 127?

The Sub dosent block youor move as I read it.

You can, but if you stay in the baltic you can use the fleet to ferry inf +art from germany to novgorod the next turn as well. Making that 3 unit factory a 7 or 9 unit factory ( by moving from germany directly there each turn ) speeding up your attack and having more units available.

Inf + art is same attack as mech+tank but you save 3 ipcs.

Good point - It was a Backup ideer :)

Thanks for the responses guys. Much appreciated.

The US can choose to fight the battles in either order, but it won’t matter. Defending planes that lose the carrier holding them in combat get 1 movement to land after the Combat phase is done, so at that point it would already be determined if they had a friendly place to land regardless of the battle order. The landing is done after the whole combat phase to avoid confusion of planes getting to defend twice, which they don’t.

I had just experienced this in a game the past week. Thanks for the link Gamerman.

Yup…one you make yourself - print’em out, cut’em out, glue’em on some stock - and the other you buy.  Still a choice.

@Peck:

Italy has a navy in zone 110 uncontested, on Germanys turn they bring in transports and ships for an amphib on UK in same sea zone as Italian fleet.  Does the Italian fleet defend against the scramble from UK?

No.  The scrambling is defense against Germany’s attack.  So like all other battles, friendly units in the seazone are not included.  On offense, only one power is involved.  On defense, multiple powers are involved.
