General answer to your question: Your opponent is correct. Your opponent *can't* abort the mission until he's fought you. Fighting can only occur if you...

Don, What happens if the Japanese announced a counterinterception of the POW in the Palembang hex, the POW aborts in the hex before Palembang? Do the same...
