Question:
How “in-play” are the air units in the Italian intervention box?  I note that the naval units can be brought in at any time by the Insurgents, so long as they have not used their intervention for the year.  All air units can come on board so long as the Loyalists allow it to happen via their own actions.  I ask because the CTV has an air unit available in the intervention holding box on I Aug 36, so this unit may or may not be allowed into the ARP calculations when the I Sep 36 air cycle begins.  I.e., though the CR32 arrives in Sep 36, they do not count for ARP calculations per the ruling above.  Do the Mxd A floatplanes count for the calculations, or is their placement in the intervention box similar in nature to the France holding box and they therefore don’t count?

Answer:
For ARP purposes, don’t count any CTV air units in the Italian intervention box if they haven’t been released.
