Can you scramble from an airbase if there are only friendly transports in adjacent SZ?

Yes, it does not matter which territory the troops on the transport are invading. The amphibious assault is in the sea zone adjacent to a territory with an airbase, which is all that is required.

On the subject of the Flying Tiger unit allocated to China, by the way, a nice way to provide a distinctive sculpt for it is to borrow a green American fighter sculpt from A&A 1941.  The 1941 Allied fighter in that game is a Curtiss P-40 Warhawk, the plane actually flown (famously painted with a shark mouth design) by the Flying Tigers.

I’m not looking for a rule change but they did fly ���� over the Himalayas. I’m tempted to get out my grandpa’s US Army Air Force stuff from the war and scan and post it. He was there and they did do it. Â

It’s not a matter of etiquette.  The owner of the air unit makes the decision whether or not to scramble it, regardless of the controller of the territory it’s in or the owner of the attacked fleet.

N. America is all messed up, have you tried putting them together? It makes Canada next to mexico!

Europe is small, BUT ITS A AWESOME GAME!!!

This is a tactic everyone should consider in their games.  Especially for the United Kingdom, or Nazi Germany when under Duress…

Several Seazone’s Have multiple territories that touch them.  For example, Eire, Scotland, and London, all Service Sz109.

A new German strategy - is to pull a tradition british bypass,  Threaten Sea-Lion, build a few subs for economic damage, and keep britain locked down on their island, relatively unable to make a navy to escape!

As you build one or two, or three ships at a time, the Gerries will use their subs and fgt’s to piece meal you off, trading subs for ships, or aircraft.

Building a second, or third Airbase, can allow you to essentially flood the zone with 6 or 9 aircraft for the rest of the game.  You will always have a navy.

The same can be said for the Germans, if they are smart, and build a dst or two, mixed with airbase flooding.  Consider this if you want to Stop or delay invasions into france and normandy.  AB in Holland, or Normandy,  Flood Sz110, and 112 can be serviced by Denmark, and Norway - ontop of West Germany.  Not that the Nazi’s will have 9 planes necessary to field this defense, but with italian support it’s possible, and certainly an obstacle not to be trifled with.

Has coastal only house rule been play tested at all???

Thanks.  Kinda disappointing however…  :cry:
