Main scenario, British 5th Infantry Division (slot # 6502) - arrives at Mombasa (off map base in Africa). Reports to HQ India Command (R). That is a restricted HQ and the unit's (5th Div) reporting HQ cannot be changed, so it cannot leave the off map base Mombasa.

[Did a search to see if this was already reported, didn't see it.]


Andy,

Would you please confirm that you picked up this one for the patch? Unless fixed the British 5th Inf Div sits in Mombasa useless for the entire game as the hq is white (not yellow so it can't be changed) and restricted so it can't be loaded on a ship. Thanks.

Status: offline 		I just pullede the Div out of the game between attacking off map it was around for such a short time that it was actually in danger of being unbalancing having it on map.

So I pulled it for patch 1 - I may revisit in patch 2 perhaps replacing one of the other invasion reinforcement Divs with it

Status: offline 		I hope this wasn't brought up, but there are several HQ's that are removed from the game in 42. The presents a bit of a problem if you have not lost the area they were in. For example, the ABDA is gone and Burma HQ is gone. I still control Burma and have Java. I know have units with unknown for their HQ and bases the same way.

Is this a problem for logistics?

I know I can use PP to fix it but some of the bases say they can't be changed. (I can't remember the complete message)

Status: offline 		Regarding upgrades to the squads in LCU's and filling out LCU's that have less than 100% of their squads: which one takes priority?

In other words, you have:

- Australian LCU with "CMF" squads, which upgrade to "AIF Inf Section 42" squads

- Australian LCU with "AIF Inf Section 42" squads, but less than 100% of them.

Assume both have plenty of supply. Which one gets the newly produced "AIF Inf Section 42" squads first?

I want to know which one get priority so that I know when I need to bother micromanaging by turning off replacements on some units.

Most ausies are attached to restricted HQs -an (R)next to the name of the HQ shows this- you can not embark. You have to change their HQ assignation first if allowed and want to spend the PP to do it.

Status: offline 		Hi Andy,

Just a couple things I noticed when clicking through the Australian land units today, grand campaign Scen 2.
This is all post beta patch, but I don't think that's changed any OOB stuff.

1) I noticed the 39th Militia Battalion has a morale of 0. (Originally posted in another thread, but it really should have been mentioned here.)

2) The 2/4 MG battallion, (In Darwin at start), is the MG battalion of the 8th AIF Div. Currently it is not part of 8th Div's OOB (ie, not listed as part of 8th AIF's organisation). If this is changed the battlion's morale and experience shuold be raised to match the rest of the Div.

3) In relation to the above, the 8th AIF Division is currently comprised of the 2 Brigades in Malaya plus Sparrow, Lark and Gull force (This was the third Brigade broken down into battalion battlegroups.)
So why is there such a variation in morale between these forces? From memory, (I'm at work right now), The 22nd and 27th Brigades in Malaya are around 60\60 morale\experience while Sparrow, Gull and Lark have a similar experience level, but morale up around 90! I realise there might be a specific reason for this, but that still makes them amongst the highest levels in-game for morale.

Basically my point in number 3 is, shouldn't all of the 8th Division sub-units have the same levels of morale and experience?

Thanks, and great work on AE btw
