@krieghund Can you tell me where in the AA Classic 2nd edition rule book it would help you make that call?
I am basing my understanding of this rule on what I have sighted above, and based on the Land Combat and Naval Combat portions of the “5 Combat” Section on pages 18-20.
On page 18, under the subtitle Land Combat, it states “When land and air units move into an enemy-occupied territory, follow the sequence below”
On page 19, under the subtitle Naval Combat, it states “When land and air units move into an enemy-occupied sea zone, follow the sequence below”
Now how I interpret this, anytime any air unit flies into an enemy-occupied space a combat sequence needs to be followed.
