@GeneralDisarray No thanks, you can skip scrambles with 80%+ odds in the future if there is more expected TUV change (6 to 13 in this case). Particularly for blockers. Might be different if its a big fleet but definitely you can skip blockers with those parameters

@666

Yep, sorry, can’t give you Berlin that easy! ;) The rule is found on page 16 of the Europe rulebook.

Think of it this way.

Japan is amphibiously attacking India and there isn’t any navy there, but UK has 3 fighters and a tactical bomber defending in India. Japan has 3 battleships and 3 cruisers. You can choose to scramble the tactical to block the 6 bombard shots, and most players would. So there you are scrambling against an empty sea zone where there is an amphibious assault taking place.

The same would hold true if Japan was attack Ceylon, although that is less likely, or if the UK was landing in Yugoslavia or Northern Italy, and sea zone 99 was empty but you have figs/tacs in S. Italy and the airbase is operable. And it holds true if the attacked territory is empty–you are defending the sea zone, not the territory.

Again, PtV makes this more complicated by also allowing carrier scrambles, but then having slightly different rules for the carrier scrambles. ¯ _(ツ)_/¯
