Amphibious Assault (no warships) vs Scrambled Fighters

The original AA Europe is fatally flawed.  Germany can win every time by just buying tanks and smashing Russia.  This is a well known problem with that game.  This AA Europe 1940 is much better.

You can only scramble from the AB

Exactly. The Med ( and seizing and holding Egypt) is all about Navy.
Enjoy your games.,

@Krieghund:

Note that if the allied air units are controlled by a different player, the decision whether to scramble those units is made by that player.  As with any battle involving multiple defending players, they must decide upon casualties among themselves, and if they can’t decide the attacker chooses.

Also, such air units may only be scrambled if that ally is at war with the attacker.

I see, thank you so much! :-)

I would also refer you to this question that was almost identical to yours, and Krieghund’s official answer:

Welcome, hajimetakume!

No, you don’t need an escort for the transport(s) if the sea zone is undefended.  Of course, defenders could also include air units that may scramble.

there’s always seems to be an exception to the rule

so i think this may be the case

@mike:

Historically they tried to have around 80 airplanes in Malta.  Initially these were the outdated Glostor Gladiator biplanes (and at the start of the war they only had 5!) But they kept shipping airplanes to Malta via Aircraft Carrier until they had around 80. These include Spitfire Vs, Hurricane IIs as well as some single engined ground attack planes as well as some Bristol Beaufighters and even a squadron of De Havilland Mosquitoes in late 1942.

Malta was a good place for an airbase
