Increment Reinf./Upgrade number by less than 10?

Post by RocketMan »

Is there a way to increment the Reinf./Upgrade number on the Production sheet by less than 10? It seems like the only options are ±10 and ±50.

No and since you can't really predict the order of reinf/upgrade for all your units, this is quite impossible to predict the right number. This is just a guess exercice.

The system reinforces units in the front lines 1st.
Then it reinforces rear units.

WP2 will have a manual reinforce option.

Excellent a manual reinforce option.

What I am feeling too is that "the system reinforces units in the front lines 1st" from North to South. Playing Russia, I have really this feeling but I maybe mistaken.

Thanks. What prompted my question is that some of the Reinf./Upgrade numbers at the start of scenarios are incremented in units of 1, not 10.

Manual reinforcement/upgrade option would be great, although that might get to be to much micromanagement. I actually think the current system works pretty well with the troop priorities, etc. I usually end up having to prioritize my air units all the time though in order to keep them getting reinforcements..

The one ask I've had is that there was a list of units that were reinforced and how much was spent on each, as this would allow me to better understand how much to allocate there, but if a manual reinforcement option gave the cost for each unit, that would solve the problem as well.

I made a table of unit reinforcement costs:

A Soviet Infantry Army is just a Large Corp. Same values.

Not quite, as it has 36 strength instead of 30 for the same 180 PP. So each strength point would be 3 pp to repair instead of 3.6 (at 39 advancement). About the same difference in % as between mechs and armors.

Yes really a good thing to add in the manual.

lol I forgot about the priority toggle. I meant what we have now and a specific button to reinforce a particular unit.
