Hi Simovitch. Now I've worked out how to run it through dxwnd (Win10) everything seems fine, thanks.

Couple more questions.

How is experience generated?

Can the 190F upgrade to anything else, or only jabo like 190G? Or is it that I don't have enough replacements of anything else suitable?

Thanks in advace.

Also it seems that now my pool of 109G6s has fallen below 500, I can no longer upgrade minor allies units to it. For example, a new D520 group has arrived (on Cos of all places), but it has the "standard" upgrade path. I assume this is as intended, but I assume if my 109G6 pool goes above 500, then this new unit could be changed to 109G6 then?

Hi.
The Jabo groups are like minors, limited to a certain type 190F & G in this case until the 500 pool is exceeded again.
So both these and the new D520 unit need over 500 of the German type to upgrade out of their 'limits'.

Borrowing this thread for a question:

Does the ground units get automatic AA reinforcements? Or withdrawal of AA if the AA is overstrengthened in the ground unit?

Yes, the ground units only get AA replacements automatically, within a set maximum that can't be exceeded.

And how is experience generated? I am wondering if there is a way to manage the experience of my German minor allies before I throw them into the deep end when Italy surrenders. Obviously this will be difficult if it's only in combat, but if they get anything just from flying then I can do that.
