Hopefully this isn't a dumb question.

If someone were foolish enough to want to change the CHS start date fom 07 Dec 41 to 01 Jun 43, should the LCU's have their squads changed to the appropriate version (i.e. in the case of the IJA, change the "41" units for "42" units)? I'm guessing yes.

Related question - should certain devices have their pool set about zero? I'm thinking about squads again, but the question could be expanded to many of the "consumable" devices.

Theoretically, the game updates units by date. It is pretty good at "sinking" ships - not using a ship with a sunk date before your scenario begins. It is not so good at other things. But units will tend to update to the right device if the device upgrades - in a few days.

You may want to manually edit the LCUs that are on the front lines or in smaller bases at the start. The game will upgrade the elements of a unit if the replacements are in the pool, they are in or near a base with 20K supplies, and the time for the upgrade has happened. So if you load the pool with the newer equipment and squads and make sure all rear area bases are well supplied, the units will sort themselves out within a couple of days of the start of the scenario.
