Some units will arrive as reinforcements due to an automatic event or date, or a player instigated Decision Event [DE]. These units could be totally free of MPP charges or may incur an MPP charge. Either way, their arrival may affect the players decision making process regarding Unit Purchases, as some units in the Purchase list may be eligible to arrive without being purchased [or may be purchased at a reduced cost]. The following list provides a description of units that may arrive other than by direct purchase. GERMANY Afrika Korps: Panzer Armee Afrika HQ Deutches Afrika Korps Armor 90.Afrika Mechanized Luftflotte V Fighter Luftflotte V Tactical Bomber These units will arrive in Afrika via a Decision Event taken by the player. The units do incur a cost, and if the DE is not taken then the units will not arrive [but will remain available in the Purchase list]. Norway: XXXVI.Gebirgs Korps XXXIII Korps 71.Bodenständige Korps XIX.Gebirgs Korps 70.Bodenständige Korps 20.Gebirgs Army HQ KG.40 Maritime Bomber These units will arrive in Norway via the DE to invade Norway. If the DE is not taken, these units will arrive in Germany around Rostock and Stettin. In either case all of these units arrive understrength as they were comprised of lesser units during 1940 and were filled out as the war progressed. 29.U-bootsflottille: There is a Decision Event for this unit that is available August 1, 1941. Saying YES will deploy the unit in the Mediterranean for 35 MPP's. Saying NO will deploy the unit in the Baltic at no cost. Herman Goring Panzer Korps: Will arrive by Decision Event at Tunisia along with the 5.Panzer Army HQ. This Decision Event will become available if Algiers [152,113] is in Allied hands and Tripoli [172,121], Syracuse [176,112] and Palermo [173.109] are in Axis hands and will cost 150 MPP's at 50 per turn for 3 turns. This DE is relatively cheap as the 5.Panzer Army was hurriedly formed in Tunisia mostly from scattered garrison and Luftwaffe units that were already in existance. GrossDeutschland Panzer Korps: This unit may arrive via a Decision Event that will appear in September 1944. If you had previously purchased this unit, another will arrive in its place if you say 'Yes' to the DE. This DE will cost 280 MPP's [at 70 per turn for four turns] if you accept it.

USSR Mobilization: The Soviets began Mobilization in 1938, although in practice this mobilization was slow and poor. The Soviets begin the game with the twenty-five corps that they had mobilized by September 1, 1939. Once the Soviets reach 100% Mobilization, the player will receive fourteen additional corps units. Additionally, if Axis units approach within five hexes of the following locations, the Soviets will receive [at reduced strength] four corps and a HQ at each of these locations: Minsk 201,71 Velikye Luki 207,63 Rzhev 214,64 Vyazma 214,67 Bryansk 214,73 Moscow 221,65 Moscow 220,65 All of these will also be triggered by an approach to within five hexes of Cherkasy [210,83].

You will get a notice in July 1942 that Guards Rifle Corps are available to build, but it is not the intention of the design for you to build them. The design is intended to allow you to Rebuild them if they are destroyed.
