Can fighters scramble to defend land territories?

@klykke89 I was confused too. The rulebook clearly states that planes can fly over enemy territories as if they were neutral, and that AAA guns can only shoot at planes when the territory the AAA gun is in is being attacked.

However I have seen some house rules that actually allows AAA guns to fire at enemy planes that fly over the territory they are in.

I think that is cool, but I also think that gives the AAA gun much more power and value and that they should cost more than 5 IPC if that is the case.

In addition to Young Grasshopper’s point, you seem to be sending up outnumbered interceptors. Don’t do this. Leave them on the ground until you have probably more defenders than attackers. Defenders can be worthwhile on the ground in the sense of tying down the Luftwaffe though. If the odds are even, trading fighters for fighters is a negative for the defender in the event of a sea lion.

I’m also pretty sure it’s a no.
The rules say you can plan to win a sea battle (no matter what the odds are), but there’s nothing about planning to lose a battle or retreat from a battle.

@Krychek:

Can you point me out where I can see these rules changes please ?

absorb everything alpha+2 has, it’ll up the gameplay

The 2 TP purchase is crucial to ensuring that the British cannot forgo turn 1 defenses for a G2 Sealion. It also allows for a G2 Barbossa purchase with the TP’s hitting up the Russian coast should you be in such a position, or better positioning for a G3 assault on Russia.

Thanks Krieghund.

Planing amphibious operations vs. the US-Player at the moment.  :-D

New Guinea is after Greenland the largest island in the world.

The fact that Japan can scramble is a big advantage, of course. But if it gets to that Japan is in serious trouble. Then you need to hold out until Germany captures Moscow and Italy captures India.

Whomever asked this question has no idea what they are talking about and clearly don’t understand simple language.
