• Lets say the US is going to invade an empty Korea with 4 infantry with a fleet of 2 transports, 1 battleship while being protected by 2 fighters and 1 tactical bomber from a possible scramble from mainland Japan.  The Japan player of course scrambles 2 fighters and 2 tactical bombers.  Lets say the US player assumes Japan will scramble ahead of time, can he move 2 US bombers to that seazone where his fleet is to “be ready to attack” the oncoming scramble?


  • Yes.  Any time there is a potential for defensive movement, the attacker may bring additional units to protect the attack force.


  • Thanks for the clarification, my friend was trying to argue that we couldn’t bring bombers into the sea zone just in case he wanted to scramble.
