Could someone explain the scrambling rule to me in regard to amphibious assaults?
I’ll use this scenario as an example:
**UK has 2 battleships and a cruiser and is landing 4 infantry via 2 transports.
Germany has 2 infantry and 3 fighters in the territory being attacked.
UK intends to use his naval power to bombard the territory before the infantry go ashore, but Germany declares that he is going to scramble his three fighters. **
Does UK now have to assign part of his fleet to battle the fighters and part of his fleet to conduct bombardment (for instance: 1 battleship and 1 cruiser will take on the fighters and 1 battleship will bombard the territory), or do all of the naval ships battle the fighters and any ships remaining after the battle get to bombard, or is it something totally different?
I understand the other part of the scramble rule where it’s fleet on fleet, but I’m a bit confused by the amphibious side of it.
