example:

"F:\Matrix Games\War in the Pacific Admiral's Edition\War in the Pacific Admiral Edition.exe" -dual -altfont

Not sure which units should have been addressed, but I'll ask Nik.

Status: offline 		If it's listed in yellow (clickable) on the Unit Screen, then you can change it and it's not _permanently_ Restricted. If it's not actively clickable then you can't change it and the unit has to stay in that command. Otherwise, pay the PPs to change the unit to an unrestricted command and use it where you want it.

Status: offline 		Ok I see what happend. Since the old Pac War days Australian Command has been a restricted command. In the main campaign it is in AE. For this scenerio it has been made unrestricted so you can load troops assigned to that HQ with paying PP's to load those units onto ships.

Australia Command
SoPac Rear Area

The hotfix involves an error that made them permanent restricted, not allowing players to pay PP's to change the HQ of the desired LCU to a non-restricted HQ

I am a bit confused. Looks like we can't afford to change their HQ due to the lack of PP's. What is the impact of sending say the 7th Div to New Guinea without changing its HQ? Can they go there and be part of Australia Command in a SW Pac base? Does it affect their recovery and supply rates?

PS : Just out of interest shouldn't the divisions which were brought back from Africa and went to New Guinea be a part of SW Pac command or is there an ANZAC command of some sort?

To release various units you'll need to allow PP's to build up allowing you to release various regimental/brigade sized units to reinforce areas you feel need priority. From a "Real World" perspective, think of it as you gaining through various manipulations permission to utilize various units for your operations.

From a game/scenario point of view, the purpose is to make the scenario worth playing. Japan player's biggest handicap when playing under non-variable arrival schedule is lack of troops. Historically the Japanese didn't send enough, soon enough and this crippled their efforts from the get go. The Allied player of course can't help but know that thx to hindsight. If all the LCU's on the map were unrestricted, it would not be hard for the Allied player to quickly move forward enough LCU AV to make any kind of invasion all but impossible from the Japan perspective.

This way......game pace is slowed and the Allied player has to plan in advance on which bases he wishes to prioritize because the scenario is designed to not allow you the luxury of freeing enough LCU's to defend ALL your objectives adequately at the same time.

Status: offline 		The Australia Command in the Guad scenerio no longer has the "R" troops will load from that command after the hot patch. With them being in the Australia Command thats why I first thought the hot fix did not work because that command has been a restricted command from wayyyy back. In this instant it is not in this scenero with the hot patch.

Status: offline 		sigh....i'm afraid another fix.....though it might have to wait for the first patch.

In the meantime......to play the scenario as it was "designed" one simply needs to pay Political Points to change an LCU from Aus Command or SoPac Rear Area to a forward HQ if you want to move them from Australia or Nomeau.

sigh. It is fixed now for the next hotfix/patch. HONEST!

Sorry if I'm being dense and newb, but how do I do this? When I click on the unit's "attached to" command, there are no options to change it. I am in a couple pbem games of this scenario and would like to be honest about it.

Thanks for any help.
