I think a new Problem occurs. Since now ships are allowed To move through enemy controlled sea zones in The final movement, the italian Navy has no Option to stop the allies sending reinforcements (Transports with troops ) through the Gibraltar straight. As a british You just always wait in Gibraltar until final movement and move 8 spaces to the North africa territories.
I still would like to see some Intercept rules to Block this.
Solution:
So every ship / plane that moved tactical and did not attack / snapshot Is in an Intercept Mode and can stay in the Sea zone.
Planes have the option to stay in the sea zone and skip the landing phase ( after mech phase).
The initiative Winner and then the initative Loser moves his ships and planes back at the end of the final movement phase. ( after all other ships that attacked or moved strategically)
Planes in "Intercept Mode" Land now but have no further movement. (No 2x range)
Ships & Planes in Intercept Mode have a chance to attack ships moving through their sea zone (or maybe also adjacent) in final movement can roll on a new intercept table and then trigger a battle.
What do you think ?
