16L G40 Simon33 (Axis) vs variance (Allies + 6techs) +tech +Sierra Leone as UK

@variance:

Oh for ����’s sake.  I lost the 3 fighters and took no hits on the carriers.  So triplea decded to sink my carriers.  WRONG.  I will stop the attack and edit back my carriers

Ok, but if you don’t continue the attack you have to retreat to SZ114.

The SZ is hostile with the scrambled fighters. You cannot remain in a hostile space. That would be why AAA removed the CVs. To retreat you have to have moved to SZ114 and back to SZ113. We can assume you did that.

You can ask for a ruling if you like but I’m sure I have the rule correct. You cannot attack a SZ with scrambled fighters and remain in the SZ without killing all the fighters.

I suppose I can allow you to undo the attack if you’d prefer that.

Ok, I’ve asked the FAQ. But I would refer you to Step 6 of Conduct Combat
@Starting:

Step 6. Press Attack or Retreat
Combat rounds (steps 2–5) continue unless one of the
following two conditions occurs (in this order):

Condition A—Attacker and/or Defender Loses All Units
Once all units that can either fire or retreat on one or both
sides have been destroyed, the combat ends.
Players who have units remaining along the battle strip
return those units to the contested space on the game board.

In a sea battle, if both sides have
only transports remaining, the
attacker’s transports can remain in
the contested sea zone or retreat per
the rules in Condition B below, if
possible.

Condition B—Attacker Retreats
The attacker (never the defender)
can retreat during this step. Move all
attacking land and sea units in that
combat that are on the battle strip
to a single adjacent friendly space
from which at least 1 of the attacking
land or sea units moved. In the case
of sea units, that space must have
been friendly at the start of the turn.
All such units must retreat together
to the same territory or sea zone,
regardless of where they came from.
Retreating air units remain in the
contested space temporarily. They
complete their retreat movement
during the Noncombat Move phase
using the same rules as an air unit
involved in a successful battle.

Clearly only Condition B can apply.

Rule is clarified here: http://www.axisandallies.org/forums/index.php?topic=28562.msg1544885#msg1544885

I’m correct.

@simon33:

I suppose I can allow you to undo the attack if you’d prefer that.

So is this still on the table?

Yes, Ok.
