I believe the reaction range doesn't apply to ships on the open seas. I was under the impression that it only applies to TFs in friendly base hexes that you want to react to enemy TFs. Basically, it's for surface TFs, not Air TFs. Most definitely applies to air TFs. That's how I lost Zuikaku and Shokaku near Andamann. They had absorbed a very damaging air strike and were incapable of flight ops. I set them to withdraw towards Rangoon. What happens? They both react to the allied TF (who was heading away from them) and charge right in. Both got sunk outright without a single plane in the air for cover. And their reaction was set to ZERO! Unfortunately they did have an aggressive TF commander. Chez
