Here is how the Sub rule reads for Alpha 3
“Submarines:
Submarines no longer fire a special “sneak attack” shot at unescorted transports that move through their sea zone (see page 30 of the Europe Rulebook). Instead, transports are not allowed to unload land units for an amphibious assault in a sea zone containing an enemy sub(s) belonging to a power with which they are at war unless at least one of his warships was also present in the sea zone at the end of the Combat Move phase.”
So IDK

This is how the Rule reads

" These air units can be scrambled to help friendly units in adjacent sea zones that have come under attack. They can also be scrambled to resist amphibious assaults from adjacent sea zones, whether or not the territory being assaulted is the territory containing the air base. They may defend against the enemy ships conducting the amphibious assault even if friendly ships are not present."

So I think that yes the planes can be scrambled and once you do that then the subs could participate and can not be ignored.

You can also scramble to resist an amphibious invasion as well. If that brings in the subs I am not sure of.

Any ideas if AAG40 will be on TripleA?

Thanks

The great thing about this game is the replay ability of it. I have found that each game is different games flow and strategies change depending what your opponet does. In you 2 post and with your explanation of your purchases, I think you give a very good idea of how to approach playing Japan. Great post!

and to go through the straights Turkey has to be controlled.
