caslug -> base force question? (9/26/2004 1:57:20 AM)
How do base force grow? In the Manual it states that BF will "grow" as the base grows. So if you BF starts out w/ 30 Aviation support sq, on a size 1 AF, eventually if the AF grows to size 4, then the base force is suppose to grow into it, right? But can you transfer a small BF into a large size AF, say 4-6. Will that small BF grow into it? It doesn't seem to in the game.

Growing base forces are for the computer player only human players will only grow to TOE

that's what i mean, how does a BF w/ 30 AvSup grow to 60-90-120-etc.,? Does an HQ need to be in the same hex?

If the base force belongs to you, the human player, it doesn't grow. It has a set maximum size (called its "TOE" strength) and it won't grow any bigger than that. (See page 145 of the printed manual.) If it is smaller than that maximum size, it will get replacements if it is at a base that has twice as much supply as the base requires. See page 197 of the printed manual: "Bases that have supplies that exceed double their supply requirements may use the excess over double needs to provide replacements (as long as the ground unit has the Accept Replacements selection made on its Ground Unit Information screen)." These replacements will bring it back up to its TOE strength. The rule on expansion of AI base forces is in section 15.4, page 198.

Ok I understand what you are asking now, I am looking into an issue (reported by Sea Wolf K) where the wrong TOE is being displayed to the human player and they are seeing the Computer Cheat TOE instead of the real one. Most of the human base forces are only 30 AV support and if you are seeing ones that show it grow to 60, 90 or 120 then you are seeing the wrong ones. It is a display issue and even if the TOE shows the unit will grow it is really capped at 30.

Ok, sounds like the answer for human player is "base force TOE doesn't grow". So what do players do w/ bunch of those BF(jap) that get capped at 30 AvSupp when you need like 90 or 120? Stack them? Thanks for the clarification guys.

Options are, if you have extra Base forces stack them, or more likely operate with out proper support.
