Eggman (Axis) vs. Miamiumike (Allies +6)

I signed up for one of those free file hosting services a while ago just so I could handle problems like we currently have and you can’t do an upload.

@miamiumike:

UK1

Since I didn’t get asked for a scramble, I presume that the SZ97 attack didn’t happen, which was my actual trap…

The eventual efficacy of said trap remains an open question!

I just want to check, are you hoping to scramble in SZ109 and 110?  Since each Air Base can send up a maximum of only 3 Fighters that you have to split between each SZ you want to defend.

Europe 2e page 16:

In situations where a territory containing an Air base is adjacent to more than one SZ (United Kingdom and SZs 109 & 110, for example), the territory may still only scramble up to 3 Fighters and/or Tactical Bombers, but they may be split between in the SZs in any combination.

@miamiumike:

All depends on what you come with in each SZ I guess…

I just want to make sure that because you piled up everything in London you’re not thinking you have all 6 Fighters available to scramble, it’s still just 3.
