TOE upgrade question - 12/4/2010 11:34:43 AM

Hi,
I have reached the point in my PBEM when all the IJN base forces are allowed to have a significant TOE upgrade with the addition of DP guns.

My understanding is that to upgrade the TOE, a unit must be in rest mode in a friendly base and within range of a Command Hq. Since the only available Command Hq for Japan is Southern Army, I was thinking of putting it aboard a Task Force and moving it around to various locations to cunduct the upgrade.

My question is if the Hq has to be unloaded at every different port or is it considered to be in range even if aboard the Tf, saving me the unload and reload time?

Thanks a lot

It calculates the range from the HQ's location (X,Y).

If it is on a ship, then it doesn't have a location (X,Y). So answer is that it needs to be on the map.

You can use 4th Fleet or 5th Fleet command HQs.
The 4th is better in the function of "mobile TOE upgrade machine" because it consists of 90 support squads only.

Altogether, you have:

non-restricted:
Southeast Area Fleet - range = 5
4th fleet - range = 1
Northeast Area Fleet - range = 9
Southern Army - range = 9
restricted:
Kwangtung Army - range = 9
General Defense Army - range = 9
China Expeditionary Army - range = 9

My recommendation would be to move the Northeast Area fleet down to Rabual, have the Southern Army in the DEI (Java or Celebes), use the Southeast Area fleet in Malaya/Thailand where it can ride up and down the rail line, and use the 4th fleet for sailing around and converting people whom the other commands cannot reach.
