Amphibious Assaults and Scrambling

@SuperbattleshipYamato If germanany does’nt send enough units to 110 and 111,I would consider scrambling.Generally if the number of dice I get to throw is equal or more than my opponents,I will scramble.
Of course that does’nt happen often.

That make sense, the result is no amphibious assault can take place.

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! :-)

Good idea Mellemhend.

@RedHunter:

The reason that Germany wasn’t able to invade England was that England had a fleet blocking the war. Remove the fleet and they can indeed make it across to invade.

Sure, but they were also hell bent on taking out the RAF prior to launching an invasion. The fleet is never really a problem in A&A unlike reality…

Naturally, the RAF would have attacked an invasion fleet without any doubts, which is why Sea Lion was called off.

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  Initially these were the outdated Glostor Gladiator biplanes (and at the start of the war they only had 5!)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
