Can you use scramble to defend unescorted transports

@marshmallowofwar

Okay, thanks for correcting me on this

Sometimes I find the units on the transports more valueable to eliminate than the transport itself.

In a RARE occassion, someone might opt to NOT scramble against such an attack, and let the infantry be destroyed instead!  :evil:

@kcdzim:

In addition to what was already stated by Moralecheck -

While the game engine may sometimes allow it, you are not technically allowed per the game rules to load during the combat phase if those units cannot or will not be used for an amphibious assault during that combat phase.

Yes, I understand. I was assuming that they could be offloaded at some point that turn, but either way it would have ended up being the same if I loaded them in combat move or non-combat, since they could do nothing either way.

AA guns can’t load in Combat Phase.

Believe me…

You can load them in NCM a turn before, and choose NOT to unload, then choose to unload in a future non combat.

transports do not count as warships

I will get a mod to change the name of the thread.

Thank you!

Prior to these changes I saw no reason for Japan to NOT attack Hawaii.

Italy’s fleet can’t be sunk on the first turn, is what he is implying.
