No. Scrambling occurs during the Conduct Combat phase, so all combat movements will have been completed. Scrambling only occurs in sea zones in which attacking units end their combat movement.
Question on new units/purchasing
-
Can Japan move 2 fighters from asia to Japan during his non-combat phase in order to place them on a newly built carrier that is placed in Japan’s sea zone at the end of that turn? Thanks in advance
-
Yes. Move them to the carrier’s SZ (6)
-
Yes

Thanks guys…my friend and I believe this rule is huge for Japan since it allows Japan to build fully loaded carriers quite easily at crucial times in the game, so many extra planes that can land on new carriers.
Makes it tough on the Allies whenever they get in close.
