From the Uncommon Valor Days, everything north of Autstralia was either SOPAC or SWPAC. Now, looking at the map at the beginning of another PBEM, it occurs to me that New Guniea, Rabaul, and the other areas that were SWPAC in UC, is currently Australia Command.

Question: Will all those areas stay Australia Command or will the game at some point turn them into SWPAC AOR? Or will I have to expend the PP to change those to SWPAC? (hope not, Post Moseby, Rabual, and some of those other areas are 600-800 PP expenditures).

In WITP bases don't have to be changed. There is little or no gain. Be careful with HQ's and there distance to the units that belong to them

As far as I can tell the HQ of a base is only relevant for one thing, and that is upgrading/replacing aircraft. Basically all bases need to be within transfer range of the base containing their HQ unit. Transfer range being that of the plane types installed at that base.

However, if you can keep more than 20,000 supplies at a base the whole thing becomes moot.

I can see how you might want places like Port Moresby to be assigned to SWPAC. This might be in conjunction with moving the SWPAC HQ up to Townsville. Anywhere that is difficult to supply may be ripe for a HQ re-assignment.

P.S. The HQ of an actual air group does not matter unless that HQ is a Restricted Command.
P.P.S. The whole thing is not very intuitive. I would suggest reading Section 15 of the manual several times until it sinks in.
