Quick question on leaders and the * symbol

[Platoonist]

In response to:
"-s designation identifies bases that the air unit can transfer by ship. Anyone seen this??"

-s designation is for off-map movement. For example, Eastern US to Cape Town

I think the general idea behind that -s designation is that the air unit is being abstractly "shipped" to an off-map box as opposed to being actually loaded into the hold of one of the named vessels in the game and sent to an off-map port. The transfer in this case is using shipping on vessels not represented in the game but it's still traveling by sea.

No wonder I can't find an example all my checking was done as Japan and I probably wouldn't of thought of off-map anyway. Good, thanks, updated here.

Many thanks Chris21wen, I have been playing for years and never knew what some of these actually meant! Doh

I agree entirely on the intended abstract.
As a side note, land units can use it, too. It's slower than if you sent them via actual transports, but it works. I think it's 38 days from the East Coast to CT. And they don't need to be in any particular op mode

It might be slower but the land units don't need to be purchased before they are sent either.

The name is also in green. Isn't he the leader of the unit?
