first of all, Giantantispyware program says there is a file in my steel panthers directory " irunin.lng and claims that it is part of IM Mass adware, is this a mistake, is it a normal file, or did parts of an adware program make there way into my steel panthers folder

2nd question

in my Das reich campaign, I had 4 panzer IV, their headquarars were J0 k0 k2 L0

then, when experiementing with the assign new headquartars function for the first time, I assigned JO and LO to K, so now they are K0 K1 K2 K3

so now the JO and LO have disapeared, is there any way I can create a new headquartars and separate these units again?

1st Question: As I have those files in my SPWAW folder and they appear to be game related - I would say they are not spy/adware.

2nd Question: AFAIK once you have "lost" a formation you cannot re-create it.

Hmm .. good question .... as a guess I would say they become part of the AUX forces and no longer part of your core.

Wonder if the reverse would be true? Interesting ....

I might be mistaken but I think irunin.lng is part of Inigorose's Autoplay program used by Matrix.

got another question, if anyones reading this

how much damage does a squad have to take before it requires rebuild points to fix it

for example, If I have a 10 man squad, and it takes 1 casualty, does it require some points to fix it?

No points. As long as a squad isn't destroyed, all men lost are replaced automatically at no expense to you. Who says you don't anything for free nowadays? [:D]

Is there any plus side to not useing most of your rebuild points, will it increase the ammount available after the next battle?

So delete it and see what happens. I've had many files mistakenly identified as spyware that weren't.

No, the percentage of points available doesn't increase. You just keep accumulating them from battle to battle if you don't use them. I've ended several long campaigns with thousands of unused rebuild points. You get your core to a point where you are happy with it and there is no point in upgrading to anything else and the rebuild points more than cover the losses most of the time.

It is not a good idea to assign a command unit to another platoon, especially one lower in the roster. You assigned K0 to L platoon. This may result in the captain commanding K platoon being subservient to a Lieutenant in L platoon.

btw,, when editing the roster for ascenario, the same rule applies. If you reassign K1 and K2 to L platoon, you can delete the rest of K platoon and buy a new K platoon.

But if you reassign K0 to L platoon, you will not be able to buy a new K platoon.

so your sure they accumulate? it seems like after a battle I always have a number like 300 350 400 never 334 367 489,

Yup. 100% sure, at least on the long campaign. I just ran a test as the Americans in N. Africa. After the first battle I had 98 rebuild points (didn't spend any) and 196 after the second.

I know rebuild points do not accumulate in the user-generated campaigns because the designer sets the rebuild values.
