The Reorg times

Command Ops: Battles From The Bulge takes the highly acclaimed Airborne Assault engine back to the West Front for the crucial engagements during the Ardennes Offensive. Test your command skills in the fiery crucible of Airborne Assault’s “pausable continuous time” uber-realistic game engine. It's up to you to develop the strategy, issue the orders, set the pace, and try to win the laurels of victory in the cold, shadowy Ardennes.
Command Ops: Highway to the Reich brings us to the setting of one of the most epic and controversial battles of World War II: Operation Market-Garden, covering every major engagement along Hell’s Highway, from the surprise capture of Joe’s Bridge by the Irish Guards a week before the offensive to the final battles on “The Island” south of Arnhem.

The Reorg times

Post by Wiggum »

From the COTA manual:
The Reorg times again vary according to the force size. As a rough rule, a force takes the same amount
of time to Reorg as its Orders Delay. See Estimating Orders Delay. However, as soon as all forces
are in position in the Reorg at the FUP, they will start to Assault. So you can reduce this Reorg task by
50% for foot and by 75% for motorised.

I dont understand the bold marked part. Why can i "reduce this Reorg task by 50% for foot and by 75% for motorised" ?

That's poorly worded. What I meant by it was that as soon as your forces are ready the AI will automatically end the FUPReorg task and go straight over to the assault. Depending on circumstances this may result in significantly less time being spent on the reorg than on orders delay.

Does that help?

Yes, thanks.
Just to make this clear, with ready you mean that they are in position for the assault ?
So if Orders Delay would be 1h for a Inf force, i can expect that (maybe) they will only need 50% of that time for Reorg and maybe will finish the reorg in 0,5h ?

By ready I mean in position and with a reasonable level of cohesion. And yes to your last sentence.
