Status: offline 		1.Is there a limit to the number of Guard Army?
Are the units that directly attached to Guard Amy receive a 10 pts bonus to national moral?(or 5 pts?)

2.Is there a limit to the number of Guard Airbase Units?
What is the benefit of Guard Airbase if most of my air units have a 90+ moral?

3.Is there a limit to the number of Guard support unit? Or they are treated the same as on map units?

There may be no bonus for an airbase reaching Guards status either.

Status: offline 		There is a limit to Guards armies, at least there was a while ago, but I don't recall the precise figure.

I believe the same restrictions that apply to on-map units also apply to support units when it comes to Guards conversion, but there are some exceptions it seems as Heavy Tank regiments can all become Guards according to what Pavel said a while ago.

Status: offline 		page 166. from manual:

quote:

While not exact, there are limits to the number of each type of unit (infantry, armour, mountain,
artillery, etc.) that may become guards units. The size of the unit may impact the percentages,
with larger units having more impact than smaller ones. There is no limit on the number of
cavalry or airborne combat units that may become guards units.
The limit for motorized type units is approximately 35 percent. For non-motorized type units,
the approximate percentage limit varies by year as follows:
1941 - 5 percent
January - June 1942 -10 percent
July - December 1942 - 17 percent
1943 - 25 percent
1944 - 30 percent
