The confusion seems to be in you’re holding back naval ships for naval bombardment. The advantage about scrambling planes is that it forces the attacker to commit all their naval ships regardless if they want to or not. That’s why it is sometimes wise to scramble in a losing battle if the enemy is relying on bombardment for victory. The easiest situation would be when Japan invades the Philippine islands. If Japan was so aggressive that all they brought was two infantry with two cruisers as example. I would scramble the fighter in that situation because while I will lose the sea battle, if you choose to invade the island after the battle, you’re doing it without naval support which gives my defending infantry a better chance at winning.
Is an Infantry a Land Unit?
-
@barnee sorry, another learner question: when mobilizing/placement/Deployment of purchased units, the rules say that land units can only be placed near industrial complexes. Does this include infantry?
-
hmm … where did you see the above ? This is how they roll
so all land and air can be placed in the Industrial Complex with ships being placed in a Sea Zone next to the complex.
10 for Major and 3 for Minor placement
Unless you play @The-Captain s mod which allows you to upgrade to 12 and 4 :)

@barnee sorry to be unclear. My question is: is Infantry considered a “land unit”, and therefore only allowed placement in a territory where there is an industrial complex?
-
yep Infantry a land unit. Can only be placed where there’s a complex.
Can’t place them directly on a Transport either. Has to be in the Territory where the complex is -
