Overrun airfield

[mark dolby]

What happens to a unit that is in an airfield when Allied troops take it over? Are they all captured, does the unit reform at a later date?

They are supposed to reappear within a week or so somewhere in Greater Germany.

Would there be a message telling the player they are ready for use?

Not as yet.

Hi.
On a similar vein, do the Allies gain any advantage if they capture a factory producing 'advanced' types whether they are in service or not? I have separate factories in S.France producing He162 and Ta152 that will shortly be overrun. Would it be best to change them to 109G6 to deny the Allies a chance to 'see' these types before they enter combat?

If I understand your question correctly, the Allied player doesn't get to see what the factory was producing after capture. Interesting idea though.

Thanks for clearing that up (and dispelling my paranoia!).
