Do transports have a combat block?

@Maddog77:

…
All other A&A games I own, the xport can at least defend with a roll of 1.

Yes, this has changed starting from Anniversary Edition.

Sometimes I find the units on the transports more valueable to eliminate than the transport itself.

In a RARE occassion, someone might opt to NOT scramble against such an attack, and let the infantry be destroyed instead!  :evil:

AA guns can’t load in Combat Phase.

Believe me…

You can load them in NCM a turn before, and choose NOT to unload, then choose to unload in a future non combat.

The warship and transport need only end their movement in the same sea zone.  They don’t have to move together.

Thanks and no they dont complain about scrambling for defence of their own sz. Scrambling has taken some getting used to. They didnt like when I used German fighters in combat and noncombat and landed them in Italy, Then when U.K.attacked Italy in sz 97 I wanted to scramble the German fighters and this what caused confusion. The aircraftcarrier is a good example.

Noncombat unloading is not blocked and does not require an escort.

Thanks guys.

thank you once again for the prompt response
