Yes.

Any unit that has a negative Land Attack national capability offset will not contribute to obtaining (or blocking) CA.

If you do obtain CA (via other units), the negative LA offset units still benefit from it.

This sounds good. What about on the other side - can minor Axis units count toward preventing the Allies from getting the CA bonus? If you have 2 German tanks and 1 Italian tanks for example, would the Russians need 3 tanks or only 2 to get the CA bonus? Or if you have one of each unit (infantry, tank, tacair, and artillery) - would it matter that one was Italian?

As far as determining whether CA is applicable or not, if the unit has a negative national capability offset for LA just pretend it is not present. It doesn't factor into giving the CA to the attacker nor blocking the CA for the defender. That includes the armor unit count.

OK, the main thing bugging me on all this is still being tied to the Neutral levels as the floor. I want more flexibility, but need to have a GUI to do it.

Here's a proposal: sneak it into the World Standard row. This is quick and easy.

You can't see my pointer in the image, but it is hovering over the "(5)". When it hovers over the parenthetic value the "Evasion National Capability reduction lower limit" text box pops up.

Good enough?

This additional number on the unit intelligence screen would not show up in a standard scenario (e.g. Total War), since there is no National Capability offset.
