If I have a russian soldier invading Sardinia with a British fleet protecting it, does a scramble matter?  Triple A has nothing to attack since there are no Russian ships…is this legit or a flaw in the program?

it’s off a UK transport btw.

Afternoon  Mallery.
Yes, the scramble matters. It prevents the Russian unit disembarking. Neither the TT nor the ground unit dies, however.

Wittman is correct.

There is a ruling in the FAQ somewhere.

Basically it’s not UK’s turn, so it’s units can’t be targeted or used to attack.  But because the Italian plane scrambles and there is nothing to defeat said plane, nothing happens.
