Airbase commitment levels

Gary Grigsby’s War in the East: The German-Soviet War 1941-1945 is a turn-based World War II strategy game stretching across the entire Eastern Front. Gamers can engage in an epic campaign, including division-sized battles with realistic and historical terrain, weather, orders of battle, logistics and combat results.

The critically and fan-acclaimed Eastern Front mega-game Gary Grigsby’s War in the East just got bigger and better with Gary Grigsby’s War in the East: Don to the Danube! This expansion to the award-winning War in the East comes with a wide array of later war scenarios ranging from short but intense 6 turn bouts like the Battle for Kharkov (1942) to immense 37-turn engagements taking place across multiple nations like Drama on the Danube (Summer 1944 – Spring 1945).

What purpose/function do these have?

My advice - ignore them.

If you set the airbase commitment level to say 5. The after you press the button MOVE it will
i) if you have more than 5 airgroups in the airbase the AI will choose to send some to national reserve
ii) If you have less than 5 airgroups in the airbase the AI will choose to send some from national reserve to the airbase

What you get or lose, with some qualifications, is pot luck. It could be recon in a bomber base or transports in a fighter base, or send your best airgroup to NR but leave out the worst ones.

Given the littel extra effort to send airgroups to NR or back again manually for better choices I just do not see the airbase commitment tool as useful
