1) is there a summary of the different CORPS sizes (Major/Minor) somewhere?

I thought I saw something posted by Monadam, but I cannot rememeber where...

if not, I guess I can troll through the game and make something....is that okay with the Game Designers?

2) is there a summary of all the possible PP changes possible in the EIANW game somewhere?

ie. declare war on a 1 AREA Minor -1 PP
ie. declare war on a 2 AREA Minor -2 PP
ie. declare war on a Major Power -3 PP

etc....

I assume they are stored in a database and I would be interested in what actions IN GAME can cause PP change.

ADDED QUESTION: Political Point related

3) Is a Corps with 20 or more factors still worth 1 PP in a battle, versus a .5 PP for a sub-20 factor Corps?

I'd like the View Units Report to show corps sizes too. Instead of just showing strengths, maybe reduce the font or something to show both current strengths and max strengths? Seeing 15/20 for infantry tells me at a glance that a corps could receive 5 reinforcements. Considering how different corps have different sizes in this game, it's not so easy for those of us who haven't memorized the OOBs yet to know if corps are maxed out or not from this report.

Bueller? version 1.01

I am really only interested in the Political Points (PP) points 2 and 3, if at all possible.

Actually version 1.00 should have corps with more than 20 factors worth 2pp. Are you guys not seeing this?

Sorry Marshall, I have not actually tested that as yet.

I prefer to get the information from a SOURCE and then test for accuracy.

I could not find anything in the manual that summarized all the PP changes in the computer game.

What I was looking for was (events/actions/results, etc..) the EIANW game could add or subtract PP for a country.

I noticed that a DoW costs -4 PP where it use to be -3 PP in EiA and wanted to get a summary of other differences.

You comment above is another difference I missed....

Without a reference it is hard to understand HOW PP are being used....

But I do appreciate your answer!
