Need your scramble orders in SZ 91

[Commando Brado]

The FTR in W. Ger & Tac in SZ112 can’t reach Gib. Since there is nothing to attack in SZ91, they can’t move to that space during the combat move phase, unless there is something to attack. Which there isn’t. Also, they AC & DD can’t move to SZ91 either since there is no combat to conduct. Let me know if you want to still attack Gib or redo your combat move phase?

Are you sure of this? I’m fairly certain you can move them to screen against scrambles in amphibious assaults. I need to check the rules.

[Commando Brado]

Positive. Page 12 states all combat moves must result in combat with a few exceptions. This is not one of the exceptions. Feel free to post in the question area to Krieghund.

[M K P]

But that doesn’t make sense… Germany would never pull off a Sea Lion then because 3 scrambled fighters in all likelihood would destroy their whole fleet… I have never seen Germany buy more cruisers or battleships for scramble protection.

From page 11, Europe 1940 rules:

"You can move units through friendly spaces en route to hostile spaces during this phase. However, units cannot end their movement in friendly spaces during the combat move phase except in four instances:

• Tanks a mechanized infantry yada yada yada…

*** Sea units that will be participating in an amphibious assault from an uncontested sea zone.**"

[M K P]

Ahh sorry. The rulebook was pacific I believe.

[Commando Brado]

Right but your units aren’t participating in a amphib assault.

[M K P]

Where does it say only the units that bombard the shore or land units can perform amphibious assaults?

[Commando Brado]

I posted the question to Krieg on the forum. Let’s see what he says.

[Commando Brado]

It appears I was wrong. My apologies! I will not scramble. The Tac & FTR in Gib will fight the invasion force. This sucks!

[M K P]

Yea… I was confused as to why you had left Gibraltar opened…

Maybe you will roll all 1’s and me 6’s…

[M K P]

Did you subtract the Japanese convoy in SZ 36 from India’s income?

Also the Russian sub cannot leave the Baltic; Germany controls Denmark and thus the straight, and I’m not letting you through. :)
