      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.

          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?

              @Joe-G Probably the second part that defines how many can scramble

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

                @Joe-G Sorry, after looking at it the issue is probably in the game properties list.

                <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)

                  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.)

                    Guys. thanks so much for your guidance. Looking at Total World War helped alot with this, and we got it to work!

                    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

                      @Joe-G Change the "editable" part to "true" for any option you want selectable on the map options screen

                          @Joe-G There isn't one.

                            @Hepps But you could achieve the same effect with the same options that are in TWW on G1. You could set it as a game option within the game by forcing the first player to choose it or not.
