CAP question

Howdy,

As the jap player, I have my fighter squadrons at Rabaul set for "zero" range, and a CAP target of Rabaul. However, I read in the rules that CAP has a chance to react to enemy sorties up to two hexes away. The reason I am asking this is that I am trying to keep out of range of the enemy corsairs, yet every so often my CAP reacts to a corsair sweep from moresby that targets a base two hexes away from Rabaul(and my guys get lit up, of course). Is there any way around this, or do I just have to live with the fact that every so often my CAP will react to his sweeps, even if I don't want them to? (dummies don't understand those are corsairs). Thanks in advance.

The Range setting controls how far they will fly on the Escort or Sweep mission, not how far away they will react on CAP. You have no control at all over that.

Stick them in Emirau Island, that should keep them from leaking. Until Allied planes start hitting Rabaul that is.
