@SuperbattleshipYamato they can get more:

Cruiser, fighter from gibraltar and tac bomb from egypt to land on carrier. Fighter from malta can attack and return to malta. The strat bomb can get there as well. You have a good chance to win it. I wouldn´t send the cruiser bc without that the italian sub can not participate but it is still an uphill battle.

@Rongor said in Is there a way to engage in air war only?:

I would like to air attack these enemy air units on that enemy island. Can I do this without the tanks sitting on that same island defending against my air with their 3 or less rolls?

It seems that bombing enemy ground forces is also quite risky. I am a bit surprised that any ground units defends against air attack with the same capability as it would against enemy ground forces…

Welcome to the forum. The concept of the game is that you attack in hostile seazones and/or in hostile territories. And when you attack there you attack everything. You can’t choose to attack only a part of the units present there (except bombing raids - here you choose to attack a facility).

So an “air only battle” is not part of the rules (except maybe the one round dogfight between bombers, escorts and interceptors in the special case of bombing raids).
