ORIGINAL: pcasey In game, there are bases. Bases in turn have a controlling Headquarters e.g. a base might be owned by China Command or Southeast Asia or Abda. When you capture a base, the controlling headquarters is set to match one of the units that conquered the base (not sure what the precise logic is here, but you end up with a mix of base ownership if you have, say, a mixed stack of British, Australian, and Chinese troops conquer a number of bases in Burma). You can choose to spend PP to change the ownership of one base to another. The main question I have though is ... what does base ownership concretely impact. Do garrison requirements go up/down based on base ownership? Do units fight better in a base of their own command? Do they recover morale/devices better? Do they use less supplies? Are they more likely to get supplies? etc. Basically I'm looking to understand if there's a mechanical advantage to spending PP to align my bases with the forces fighting in and/or near them. The conquered base will be assigned to the Command HQ of the first unit in the stack that conquered it, even if that unit has no assault value. Units in a stack are sorted by nationality first, then by their index number in the database (at the upper left of the unit screen). US units appear first, then British Units, etc. But if the US unit first in the stack was assigned to a British Command HQ such as ABDA, the base would become an British ABDA administered base instead of a US one. Very rarely should you need to use precious PP to change a base's administration HQ. One example would be changing a Northern Oz base to ABDA so you can fly in Dutch air units before the DEI is overrun. That would give you more time to get PP to buy out the Dutch air units to an unrestricted HQ. Base administration does not affect garrison requirements, fighting or recovery effectiveness or supply availability. As has been already posted, it can affect which air units can be based there and it can affect whether PT/MTB/MGB boats or Barges/LCTs or mini-subs can be created there. There is no discrimination based on nationality or race in the game! [:)]
