Actually, the answer is yes. Just do what Wild_Willie said.

Well, if you have the PP, time (60 days or so), but your shipping is tied up, and you are worried about India, this is just the ticket!

Or if you need to send a few cheap units to India i.e. Seabees or some of those West Coast inf units

Status: offline 		This process only works for land units, not for air or naval units, therefore you can't do it with the air units from the West Coast HQ (those that IRL went to Europe, thus it would be "cheating" to use them).

Otherwise it would be "cheating" for the IJA to use units from Manchuria/ China under the same logic.

Hi

Yes it does but it should not >really< be transfering a static unit {unless you make the transfer time a couple of years to represent tearing up old the old emplacements/etc, and rebuilding them in karachi}.

I thought under new 1.5 games, SE Asia air reinforcements from the US were supposed to start in Karachi (whereas before they arrived in SF)

The "What's New" for 1.5 has the following in the database changes section:

quote:

4) Changed all USAAF Air groups set to arrive as reinforcements (Groups arriving after 3/42) for
SEAC to arrive in Karachi instead of US west coast. (Groups flying the Trans Africa route to get
to India) all scenarios that apply.
