I've done some testing on this and malarial areas are problematic...you are actually better off sitting outside of a base in a malarial area than you are in a base.
In addition base size does have some impact but does not make an area immune.
I set up three test subjects each had 1000 inf squads and 1000 support squads. I set morale and experience to 50 and leader values to 60. I then gave each 3000 supply and the two test bases Rabaul and Buna to 10,000 supply. All disruption and fatigue was set to 0.
The three units were Japanese
One at Buna AF 4, Port 3
One at Rabaul AF 8 Port 8
One just ourtside of Buna on the trail in the Mountain hex heading towards Pt Moresby
After one week everyone’s Disruption and Fatigue had increased relatively equally. The unit at Rabaul had some support disabled (3) and the unit at Buna had a little more support disabled (5) and an inf sqd disabled (1). The unit not in the base however had suffered no disabled.
After a little over a month and a half Dec 8 through January 29.
Buna – Disruption-15, Fatigue -34, 20 Inf sqds disabled, 21 Support disabled, Assault strength down to 872 from 1000
Rabaul - Disruption-14, Fatigue -31, 10 Inf sqds disabled, 15 Support disabled, Assault strength down to 881 from 1000
Non Base - Disruption-10, Fatigue -26, 0 Inf sqds disabled, 6 Support disabled, Assault strength down to 920 from 1000
I stopped the test after over two months the Non base Unit still had 1000 Inf sqds in good order and 3 disabled support squads. The two units in bases had continued degradation with the unit in Buna suffering a little more.
My next test I ran with the Non base unit in a Non-base Coastal Wood …I checked the progress at roughly the same point…Dec 8 through Jan 30
Buna – Disruption-15, Fatigue -32, 26 Inf sqds disabled, 22 Support disabled, Assault strength down to 876 from 1000
Rabaul - Disruption-13, Fatigue -31, 17 Inf sqds disabled, 18 Support disabled, Assault strength down to 884 from 1000
Non Base - Disruption-16, Fatigue -35, 0 Inf sqds disabled, 5 Support disabled, Assault strength down to 890 from 1000
Findings:
In both test runs the unit in a Non-Base Malarial hex faired much better than the units in base hexes…and appeared to take few if any disablements over the course of the test.
When in a base hex base size did impact the degree to which a unit was affected, however large bases did not provide immunity.
The units only suffered disablement and did not suffer any actual losses. The disablements will heal with the proper application of supply at non-malarial bases.
