Combat - Japanese

witt - I am getting a scramble request from the Carolines. There is no sea battle there, so this has taken me by surprise. If you scramble you will sink the TT and so the amphibious assault will fail?

Please confirm.

In which case I will need to rethink.

So scrambling to a sz with no naval battle only happens in the case of an amphibious assault?

@wittmann:

Can always scramble  in Combat Round. Not the Non Combat one,
So amphibious assault triggers it, yes.
