The Aus brigade probably got crushed by fighting.

I would stockpile those 57mms just in case.

Stockpiled devices in the pool are not distributed to any unit.

If Division A is short of devices x, y, z and there are beaucoup of x, y, and z in the pools but device z is set to stockpile in the pools, Division A will only receive devices x and y if it's replacements toggle has been turned on.

Or to put into simpler terms, Milo has seen the colour green and has decided to supply x and y on credit but is still haggling over the price of z, so no sale of z until the contract has been drawn up by Cheathem et al.

OHHHHHHHHHHHH I get it. It is a simple matter of aligning incentives. Perhaps some Credit Default Swaps would help? Maybe some Ronson futures contracts sold to the antitank gunners?

One brigade of 9th Aus only has 500 men and missing most of heavy weapon categories. I can't remember if they were crushed in the fighting in Oz or they came into the game that way.
