@BobbaRossa

Sorry, please disregard, I need to spend a bit more time and re-think Japan’s move.

No worries. Take all the time you need. This one is especially complicated.

@discalced use 2nd file – minor change to ncm

@surfer So there’s basically 3 scenarios

AB scramble to SZ, no additional restriction, same as OOB rules

AB/CV scramble to land requires defending unit (could be an AA gun or plane, doesn’t have to be a land unit)

CV scramble to SZ requires defending surface warship
