Status: offline 		Turn 60-80!?! I often use reinforcements in PBEM games and they usually appear 3-4 turns after requested...longest I've seen is 6 turns (playing as Soviets). Is there possibly a setting, like there is for arty and airborne troops, that 'schedules' their arrival on a certain turn?

Status: offline 		Good question. And when I requested them it was between Turns 5 and 9. Could it be that T60 or T80 appears on the list but they could arrive a lot sooner?

Status: offline 		Stuart: I don't think so. Alby: Well, I think reinforcements are to be asked when one thinks is going to be difficult to win with the present units.

Status: offline 		Stuart has a point. The arrival turn is superimposed other data, I have seen it several times, and it fooled me the first time.
I think that is the explanation, so the figures actually mean turn 6 or 8 instead of 60 to 80.
