Multinational scrambling?

@fanofbond:

The US is amphibious assaulting Korea and can the planes in japan scramble to kill the transports in the seazone.  The are no jap ships in the sea zone.

The scrambling fighters will defend the seazone, not the territory.

Nevermind - the answer is on pg. 16.  Looks like attacking air units can either be chosen to defend against the scramble (i.e. participate in the sea battle), or can ignore the scramble and assist in the amphib assault - but cannot do both.

Thanks for the clarification, my friend was trying to argue that we couldn’t bring bombers into the sea zone just in case he wanted to scramble.

Yes and yes.

the answer is yes cause korea it’s in the same zone as japan… and japan it’s an island with an air base that’ why you can scramble your fighters

:)

and hi all i’m new :)

ahh, thank you… :-)

Interesting to see how it affects the Atlantic war; I’ve always believed there should be a “killing zone” in mid-ocean which is out of range for land-based aircraft, but will the sea be wide enough?

@MaherC:

if you have 6 planes on an AB do they all have to scramble or can you hold some back?

Just as with fighter interceptors for SBRs, you may scramble some, all or none of your fighters and tactical bombers from an island airbase.
