Looks like you've got me here. The intro to 8.0 states that an air point cannot be used again until the next air phase. Only assaulting units. The rule states that combat occurs repeatedly while opposing units are in the same hex. Again, not clear.
Automatic victory is achieved when all the victory points are captured within the scope.
Since mainland China and Europe are not on the map, automatic victory is no longer posible except through results on the the European Conflict Table. Keep in mind, if a player has all the objectives on the map, he's in a really good position to win a stalemate victory. The UN player just excalated the conflict to Police Action. So during the next phase, the UN Air Phase for that month, does the 2 air points take effect, or does the UN player have to wait for the next month. That's phases, not turns.
