I'm playing Dababes mod Scen 28 ("a" as I recall). I'm working on the opening turn and noticed I'm unable to see any reinforcements. There is no "button" next to the: Group reinforcements,
Group Withdrawals, Ship Availability, Ground Reinforcements, Ground Withdrawals, Ground Units Destroyed. I opened a game in Head to Head and the buttons were available.

Any advice would be much appreciated.

I guess they become visible on the following turn.

Thanks Yaab. I thought that might be it, but I can see them on a head to head one I pulled up. It's just a pbem thing, then?

I am the AI man. Let's wait for the PBEM folks to chime in and confirm it.

This is correct. First turn of a PBEM, you won't be able to see reinforcements. I don't know why this is.

Thank heavens! That would have been a month's work down the drain. I'm new to the IJ, so didn't know why this was. Thanks guys!

A good reason is that if you are using variable reinforcements in a PBEM, the Japanese player could restart a game until he is happy with the reinforcements arrival time.

Good point EHansen, you are right! The ability to put in +/- 15 or 30 makes in imperative that the setup turn does not reveal the reinforcements one gets. This is most important in PBEM. On turn 2 all will be revealed!
