placing new corps?

Post by Hoche »

How do you place new corps during the reinforcement phase. I haven't been able to figure that out.

You buy Corps counters during the Economy Phase.  When you are in the Economy Phase, click on your available counters.  You can then click on the Corps you wish to purchase for the upcoming reniforcemnt phases.  It will cost you $1 per Corp you want to purchase.

You have to plan accordingly though. Remember that Inf factors take 3 months and calvary 5 months. That means for infantry corps counters, you need to purchase the counter during the same eco phase as the one where you purchase the Inf factors. Calvary corps counters need to be purchased in the following eco phase in order for them to be available when the factors are available.

Not sure that I fully understand your questions, but yes, some Inf corps can accept Cav factors so you can place them there. If all of your corps are full of Cav though, and you purchase more factors, you will need a new corps to place them in if one is available to purchase.

If the Guard Corps is removed due to having all factors eliminated prior to guards factors being placed, you are out of luck unless you can repurchase the guard corps prior to placing the new factors.

This is what I was really looking for. I knew I needed to buy new corps but I couldn't find where to do that. Thanks[:)]
