Whackamatt (Axis) vs. mrcunego (Allies +10)

You can’t actually take Gibraltar as France.  I asked for a rulse clarification from Harrisgamedesign.com (the creator’s website).

Offical answer:

“Italy can scramble. The US transport (and US unist) doesn’t participate in the sea battle because it’s not the US’s turn, so it can’t be sunk. Since there are no attacking (French) sea or air units, there is no sea battle. However, the sea zone can’t be cleared of defending combat units, so the amphibious assault can’t proceed.”
