Ah, I see – my mistake. I didn’t realize the air base was only in one half of Italy; I was just thinking in terms of putting the planes in Italy so they’d be ready to defend the sea zone.
The planes that landed in N. Italy could have just as easily landed in S. Italy; they flew 2 spaces from Hungary/Poland to Yugoslavia, and so they could have flown 2 more spaces to S. Italy.
So, if you are willing, we can move those planes to South Italy, give you a chance to adjust your UK1 move, and then I can tell you whether I’m scrambling based on your new move. Or, if you insist, we can carry on with the board as marked, and then I will not scramble.

ok, no worries, I will adjust your planes and take a look at UK.
May be a day or so before I get to it. :|

I’m not sure what to say, Karl. I appreciate your generosity in letting me move the German planes to the right part of Italy – but I don’t think I would have scrambled against your fleet after you added the fighter from Malta. It turns it from a battle that favors me (Axis 18 punch, 6 HP vs. Allied 14 punch, 6 HP) to a battle that favors you (Axis 18 punch, 6 HP vs. Allied 18 punch, 7 HP).
That’s why I said
So, if you are willing, we can move those planes to South Italy, give you a chance to adjust your UK1 move, and then I can tell you whether I’m scrambling based on your new move.
I figured once you realized I had planes to scramble, you might bring in more forces, and then I might decide not to scramble.
I don’t want to be a pain, but losing three planes just to take out an extra British sub and destroyer kind of sucks for me.

Oh, and the Malaya swap is no problem – you just want to switch out a British infantry for an ANZAC infantry, or something like that? Or switch an infantry from Burma to Yunnan? Anything like that is fine; I don’t mind.

oh, well, the ftr from Malta wold have gone in regardless, So you will not scram then? No biggy if not. I got 4 hits r1 so the bb, cc would die. You would get only 1 hit in response, so I would lose hit to sub. I will modify.

this should be correct

Cool, I will do the Italian turn tonight. Thank you!

All right, my understanding is that other than the Dutch East Indies, aircraft can’t land on a pro-neutral territory that hasn’t been activated yet. The rules state that you can’t fly over pro-neutral territories, so if you can’t fly over them, it stands to reason that you can’t land in 'em, either. I’ve found a couple of sources that agree with me on BoardGameGeek and StackExchange. I’m willing to be corrected if you’ve got something from axisandallies.org that says otherwise. If fighters can land on pro-neutral territories, then I’m going to change my plans and attack Greece to deny the British fighters a landing spot there when Germany smacks your Med fleet on G2. Otherwise, here’s my turn:

Italy activates Bulgaria, places mech + tank in N. Italy
Italy collects 10 base + 3 Marseilles + 2 Yugo + 1 Bulg + 1 Tunis + 1 Sudan + 1 Kenya = 19 IPCs, minus convoys.Rolling 7@3 for convoy by (2 planes * 2 dice) + (3 warships * 1 dice); will subtract up to $9 based on rolls; rolls of 1 are -1, rolls of 2 are -2, rolls of 3 are -3, rolls of 4/5/6 are 0.
Rolls: 7@3; Total Hits: 57@3: (3, 3, 4, 3, 1, 1, 4) -
Italy’s Adriatic income is wiped out by convoy raids; 19 IPC - 9 = 10 IPCs left for Italy.
