Silly novice question - 1/22/2022 4:21:52 PM

Status: offline 		Can't find the answer, sorry. Can anyone help, please? I'm trying to transport a Bn that is given as attached to a Regiment that has an '(R)' after it. Restricted, can't move, I believe. But does that mean that that HQ (the Regiment) is restricted, or also that everything under it is also restricted? The Bn I'm trying to move does not have an '(R)' after its name, just after the name of its parent Regiment. But if the parent HQ is restricted is the Bn beneath it also restricted, even though it isn't marked as such? Thanks.

A Regiment is not an HQ. If the Bn is "under" the Regiment, it is part of it. But as CT described, it must be under the same HQ to recombine. Think of it as a sub-detachment assigned to another HQ for a while and needing some political clout to bring back early from that assignment.

There are some situations where an Unrestricted HQ is under a Restricted HQ and therefore able to move troops assigned to it. (Australian Corps HQs are assigned to Australia Command[R]). You can buy out the Australian units to the Australian Corps at 25% the PP cost of assigning them to an HQ outside Australia Command, but that is considered gamey. The developers intention was that you should assign the Australian Corps HQ to SWPAC (historical) before assigning units to it - which would mean paying full PP price for each unit assigned.

If that would be the case, that should not be gamey. Although there are other ways . . .

Status: offline 		Mmm. Thanks. Sorry to be stupid about this, but this is me playing the Guadalcanal scenario (again) and trying to move troops from Australia to Port Moresby. The units I want to move (not marked 'R') are attached to higher units marked 'R'. Does that mean I can't load them onto transports? I have no pp to spend. Thanks.

If they are not marked [R], you can move them. The smaller scenarios sometimes take shortcuts with the GC rules to save doing separate programming for the smaller scenario. So consider your unrestricted units bought out beforehand when the Australian government decided to fight for Port Moresby.

It's marked with an R under "attached to" column.
