The battleship’s actually in SZ110, so it’s dead.

Scramble 3x German Fighter from West Germany to SZ112 to defend against the British transport.

By the way, one trick I found that helps me out: You can try out different moves and such in a local game to see what the effects might be. There’s no way to tell how the dice will actually fall, but you can use it as an estimate, or to find things you might have overlooked like that scramble.

The not automatically capturing thing happens for any amphibious assault, regardless of whether there is or could be defense. At least I assume so, since my attack on Borneo was the same.
