Status: offline 		Something I have been meaning to ask is why there is no National reserves for Infantry/armor, where burnt out units can be sent
like the Airforce?
I presume it would be impossible to create such item now, but what about WITE 2?

In a way that is already modelled - but hard coded. For instance some German units are withdrawn and come back later. Sometimes that was to operate on another front, but also includes units brought back to Germany for reconditioning or as strategic reserve. Just means you have no say in the matter.

Twelve? I thought it was ten. Was this a change recently?

I think guys on refit who are closer to the line still have an advantage on refit, just not so large as those farther back.

Status: offline 		I didn't think refit replenishment increased by the amount of hexes you pulled back and only mattered by how close it was to the rail?

I thought the 10 hexes back thing was only for increased rolls on morale gains and exp

12 is just a personal rule of thumb - farther east Axis CU goes, the farther west Axis CU needs to withdraw for best refit results. Regardless, keep your unit on friendly converted rail hex with/adjacent to HQ also on rail hex.
