Battle Board Casualty Zone Error

@marshmallowofwar thanks to both you and @AndrewAAGamer for clarifying. Thought I had a sneaky way to slow him down, but will have to give it some more thought!

Yes, they can do that even if the powers are at war. The presence of a sub belonging to an enemy power does not block movement.

Thanks all for your comments. I understand it now.

@wwestpro:

But planes can still take them out if the defender is scrambling.

That’s true.  The defender could still have planes left (either carrier-based or scrambled), which would also stop the amphibious assault.

i knew about the British flags i was just saying that they were over represented in Pac 40. But for once i would like to see the German Flag Prominent. I know that this will probably never happen but still, i would be cool.

yes

The rules for scrambling specifically state that you may only scramble if combat is occurs in the sea zone surrounding the island with the air base.  This combat may be either a straight naval battle if defending naval units exist in the sea zone or just an amphibious attack launched from the sea zone if there are no existing defending naval units.

My friend… a little searching never hurt anyone. The top thread in the Axis & Allies Pacific 1940 board has what you are looking for:
