questions - squad upgrades and recon

[Alpha77]

I believe this upgrade of unit fractions was changed in some patch - set to not working. Reason would be, if you upgraded one regiment of a division, but the others are not upgraded the divison can not be formed as they have now differing devices.

Fractions are those resulting from loading on ships or air transporting. A/B/C regiments can upgrade separately, in fact it is standard practice to upgrade division infantry squads via successive A/B/C because you need only this many squads to upgrade a regiment

Lots of good info in this thread! I'm also amazed at how much I still can learn about this game, and I've been playing since the UV days (hell, since Grigsby's PacWar days...back in the Truman administration, I think).

One thing I've never seen though, playing against the Japanese AI, is a serious push by Japan into India. I pretty much let them have Burma and I keep and fortify Chittagong, Imphal, Kohima, Ledo, etc. and the AI always seems content to just keep Burma and launch air raids into India. Even in my current #102 scenario where the AI is very solid and aggressive, it seems to be a repeat in CBI (in Jun 42 now). Anyone ever have the AI make a serious attempt to invade India?

A reminder to new players, this is only applicable to the Allies. Japan doesn't have anywhere near the amount of LCU upgrades the Allies have but as Japan creates device points through its Industry the only criterea that is important is supply and not pools.

What about for devices that are not build? i think for that devices pools matter for Japan.

And when playing with PDU OFF?

What devices might that be?

Can't comment on PDU off nevr played it.

PDU OFF only affects aircraft AFAIK, has nothing to do with devices.

Thanks Pax.

Chris21wen means for example guns and AFV of models that are not build from start. Lets say a big mortar from begin of the century: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/28_cm_howitzer_L/10

They should be available in the pool but not being able to be build by industry.
