I am aware of the concept of unit withdrawal in the larger game, but I have a question with respect to "Withdraw to Pearl Harbor" in the Guadalcanal scenario I am currently playing. For example, if I have to withdraw a ship [not sure if I have to in this scenario] I know I can do it via the "Send to PH" button. But other than withdrawing a unit because you are instructed to, are there any other reasons in the game why you may wish to?

For example, if I had several badly damaged ships and the Sydney shipyard could not handle it all, could I send damaged ships off map for repair and have them return after repair? As this is the only scenario I have played with a "Withdraw to:" button it has me wondering if it could be of use other than for taking out units that I am ordered to.

Thanks, as always.

If a ship is due to withdraw and you do not withdraw it, it will cost you PP every turn until it does withdraw.

I understand that, Joe; what I'm wondering is if there are other uses for that "Withdraw to Pearl Harbor" button in the Guadalcanal scenario. Can you use it to send damaged ships to Pearl for repair and then get them back after a while. I suspect the answer is no, but a fellow can dream.

To be honest, I can't remember!
