Awaiting your scramble orders for Gibraltar

(BTW - can you fly over pure neutrals so long as they are pure neutrals? My feeling is no, but I'm not sure.)

(BTW - can you fly over pure neutrals so long as they are pure neutrals? My feeling is no, but I'm not sure.)

Nope. I'm sure you can't fly over true neutrals. In fact, I feel you can't fly over any neutrals for that matter.

[BigBadBruce]

-2 dd (95) and 1 fighter (SI) vs. dd (97)

I guess you mean z98... unless Italy has rebel in their z97!
FOOL ME! I completly forgot to move that DD during Non combat moves, it wasn't my wish to leave it there. 

Your figter can't join battle. Don't know if you meant it to stay in z92 or at Gibraltar itself (please could you specify if this scenario occurs again), but in both case I don't see where it can land. Anyway, yes, fighter will scramble... trying to hit something more valuable than a footman.

[Jercules]

Yeah, SZ98, sorry. The fighter is from SI. By my count, it can attack SZ98 and land in either Tobruk or Lbya.

Anywhoo, on to the main event.

So Italy takes Gibraltar with a rolled BB.

NC
-93 aircraft land in SI
-98 fighter lands in Tobruk
-Albania 2 inf. and tank activate Bulgaria

PLACES
-1 trans. in 95

COLLECTS
10 + 3 (saved) + 6 (territories) + 5 (no allied ships in Med.) = 24 IPCs

France is up.

[BigBadBruce]

Yeah, SZ98, sorry. The fighter is from SI. By my count, it can attack SZ98 and land in either Tobruk or Lbya.

I should have split my two subject more clearly... for the Fighter I was talking about Gilbraltar, where you say :

2 trans w/ 4 inf. (SI), 1 BB, 1 cruiser vs. 1 fighter (Gibraltar)

But then... just reliaze now that's  MY fighter in that line... sorry   

[BigBadBruce]

COLLECTS
10 + 3 (saved) + 6 (territories) + 5 (no allied ships in Med.) = 24 IPCs

I don't see your 6 IPC for territories. Kenya doesn't count (convoy blockade by french DD) and adding up S.France (3), Tunis (1) and Bulgaria(1) makes 5.. and deducting Ethiopia gives a total of 4.

Therefore : 10 +3 + 4 + 5 = 22.
Just for your information, G40 module adds up IPC for territories and convoys.
