<![CDATA[Scramble from a Carrier? Is it possible?]]>Hey all.

Is it currently possible to give a unit, such as an aircraft carrier, the scramble capabilities of an airbase? I tried adding the "airbase" options to the carrier in Global, namely:

<option name="isAirBase" value="true"/>
<option name="maxScrambleCount" value="2"/>

But nothing happened when I play tested it. Any ideas would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

You could set it as a game option within the game by forcing the first player to choose it or not.

Now for the tricky part. How do we make this new Carrier feature a selectable Game Option? Is there away to have specific unit properties activated by a game option, so players can choose whether to play with the rule. Thanks alot

The original scramble rules for Global limit scrambling from islands only... (if I remember properly)

Correct, that's how it was in Global 1940 1st Edition.
In Global 1940 2nd Ed. scrambling is possible from islands and coastal territories.
(An operative airbase is needed in any case.)

<property name="Scramble Rules In Effect" value="true" editable="false">
  <boolean/>
</property>
<property name="Scrambled Units Return To Base" value="true" editable="false">
  <boolean/>
</property>
<property name="Scramble To Sea Only" value="false" editable="false">
  <boolean/>
</property>
<property name="Scramble From Island Only" value="false" editable="false">
  <boolean/>
</property>

The original scramble rules for Global limit scrambling from islands only... (if I remember properly)

  <option name="unitType" value="britishCarrier"/>
  <option name="unitProperty" value="isAirBase" count="true"/>
  <option name="unitProperty" value="maxScrambleCount" count="2"/>
  <option name="uses" value="1"/>

Is it possible? on Fri, 29 May 2020 03:58:02 GMT]]>does it really? I didn't see it in notes, and when i tested it by attacking a British destroyer in a sz adjacent to a British carrier loaded with planes, no scramble option presented itself. What am I missing?
