Thanks for that Andy, makes much more sense now.

One more (last) question I hope.

I've seen the Unit Information Screen and the toggle to display the TOE upgrade.

Where do I find the Device Upgrade Path or do you figure that out from looking at future TOE's maybe?

Dave

In-game, use the "D" key; this brings up the Plane & Weapon Database screen. You can then select AA weapons, Artillery, Vehicles, or Infantry and it will list the upgrade.

Hope this helps.

Thanks,
Will look in the database tonight when I get home.

The more I play this game the more the depth of it amazes me.

Cheers!

So when Rebuilding Unit do all the component parts have to already report to the same HQ?

I note some people say you can never combine the 8th Aus Div.� I've done it.� I did as someone else said, changed the Bats from SW Pacific to ABDA command.

It's Apr 43 and the 8th is sitting in Derby at 63% and slowing glowing. The two of the Bird Bn were first moved to N Aus early 1942 and assigned to ABDA. They combined Mid 42 in Derby. I also did the same with the remnents (10 sqds) of an Indian Punjabi Bn that I managed to evacuate by air to N Aus. I shipped them to India and combined into the Indian 9th Div.

Try WITP Tracher if you are really interested in figuring out upgrades and device usage. I find it to be a very helpful tool for that.

I can confirm that it is possible to rebuild. I am at work and can't recall which one it is offhand but I moved one of the Aussie divisions that come in at Aden to Oz early in the game. When Darwin fell, two of those brigades were lost. However the other brigade was at Tennant Creek and I was allowed to just click on that remaining brigade to rebuild the Division. So I have the division although it is rather depleted right now. I won't build it back up until later. Funny thing is I was allowed to rebuild the divsion without using the small cavalry/recon unit that belonged to the divsion. I have the depleted division and that one small recon unit is operating on its own.

Note that these three brigades were never combined into one division but went to Oz separately

It might take you a year or two to rebuild the division but still, a division is a division. I would reconstitute any that I can.
