Playing our first global game. Absolutely love the strategy! This game has taken us all weekend. We started playing like it was AA 1941 then we incorporate new rules as we get through a full round. It seems to help in keeping things simple. After reading through a number of posts I’m still a little confused on scrambling.
1. Is scrambling only for island territories? Or can all coastal territories scramble? For example can one scramble from either coast of the United States if attacked?
2. Is there return fire from the attacking ships after the scrambling planes fire? If the attacker can fire do they get to roll as many dice as units? Meaning that if the attacker comes in with 2 cruisers, 2 destroyers, aircraft carrier (with 2 fighters) and a transport. Does the attacker get to roll 6 dice? I was only able to roll 3 on my scramble.
3. If there is a hit is it still the attackers choice as to which unit to remove.
4. Or is a scramble more like a surprise sub attack? If I hit they are out if I miss they get to return fire.
Thanks again for a great game!
