Update v1.04.10 made the following rule change.
8) Rule Change – The amount of support units can be increased by the level of fortification in the defending hex.
I am not sure to what this refers to. Is this saying the number of AA units attached to a city/town can be greater than 3, i.e. 3 + Fort Level?
Or is it refering to the amount of support units that can be committed during a battle?
It's how many support units can be committed to the defense of a fortified hex, if you are asking how many that is I have know idea, it does't say. Possibly by 1 for every level but I've not tested and do not have the code.
Here's the rules from the updated manual.
15.4.1. Support Unit Commitment
Support commitment is based on expected CV of the battle. Normally the maximum number of attached support units that can be commitment by HQ to a single battle is 6, with the exception where the defending combat units are in a light urban or heavy urban hex, where the maximum is 18. However there are two exceptions:
• Artillery (ART, MORT, ROCKET, AT) support units have priority to be committed into a battle during a special commitment phase. During this round of commitments, defending HQ's have a chance of committing 3 more than the normal limit of committed HQs (so 9 or 21 instead of 6 or 18). After this round, the normal commitment round is conducted.
• They may also be increased by the level of fortification in the defending hex.
Support unit commitment from headquarters units is not automatic. For each support unit attempting to be committed, the leader of that headquarters must pass an initiative check. The support unit must then pass several checks, with the checks becoming more difficult based both on the number of support units already committed and the total number of non-construction support units attached to the headquarters unit. This means that Headquarters units with large numbers of non-construction support units will have more opportunities to commit support units; however the overall probability of each support unit being committed will be less than if the headquarters units had fewer non-construction support units. HQs that have not moved during the current player-turn have an increased chance of committing support units to battle.
Support units directly attached to eligible combat units will be automatically committed to a battle involving that combat unit and do not count against the HQ unit maximums discussed above. Support units attached to cities will be included in defensive battles for their hex, provided there are some on-map combat units there. Otherwise they will be simply overrun as before, without combat. Note that the only combat units that artillery support units can be directly attached to are fortified region and zone units (7.5.2).
