Attacking defenseless transport = scramble?

If I attack a lone transport, do the aircraft near it (if sea zone adjacent to applicable coastal airbase) have the ability to come to its rescue? Or is the transport simply destroyed?

Yes, fighters can scramble to defend a transport.

@tincanofthesea idk. I am going to try it in the Pacific map and see how it goes. Going to do a allied bid game (our first official one lol) because last game, allies didn’t really stand a chance. I wonder if there are “Blockade” markers at HBG, well if the shipping wasn’t so expensive I could buy those-

This will be my last 40 game before I will use the new stuff I got from HBG 🙂 maybe try to learn the G40 Balanced Mod (TheCaptain’s) + some extra stuff

Option #3 is not legal.

You must unload any units loaded in combat movement in the combat movement phase.

I am always tempted to use this strategy with the allies. There is however always one thing which holds me from doing so: the Mongolian forces - if Japan can activate these units, I think this will tip the balance on the pacific board in favor of the Axis.

Nevertheless, It would be a disaster for Germany to defend another border, which is so close to france and the US at the same time…

Pretty sure I know the answer to this, but I want to clarify.
The rules say that an “allied” destroyer in the same sea zone that you attack will not cancel the abilities of enemy subs since any force attacks alone, Allied forces can only defend together. I assume this applies to scrambling as well. Here’s my situation:
The US has a large fleet occupying SZ 6. Japan has fighters on it’s airbase. ANZAC wants to amphibiously assault Korea. If the Japanese fighters scramble, will they only be fighting the ANZAC ships?
Even though the US and ANZAC are Allies, since ANZAC is on the attack, the US ships are basically idle during this action, is that correct?

@Dylan:

Still the setup says that.

The setup also says to put “artilley” in Western US and Japan… so what have you been doing about that? :-D
