Battalion/Regimental reserves


Recommended Posts

Can anyone tell me what the chance that Battalion or Regimental reserves, as defined when making an operation, will arrive? I am playing around with a small operation and the units I have reserved for the reserves (ouch, bad pun) always seem to show up in the second or third scenario of an 8 scenario operation.

Just wondering

I refer to the explanation by BTS in reply to the questions by Franko :

6. Reserve Pools. How are the "battalion", "regimental" or "divisional" reserves triggered? Can you be more specific than the "things start hitting the fan" stuff contained in the manual?

The computer looks at the relative strengths of the two sides after each battle. If one side is doing poorly, the reserves may be released. The threshold at which a reserve unit is released depends on its type. Battalion reserves aren't that hard to trigger, i.e. you don't have to be doing too badly to receive these. But divisional reserves are given only when things are going quite badly.

Attacker gets reserve if relative strength to defender is below...

1.8:1 Battalion

1.4:1 Regimental

1.0:1 Division

Defender gets reserve if relative strength to attacker is below...

1:2 Battalion

1:3 Regimental

1:4 Division

I wonder if this has been changed in line with the changes in force ratios in single battles....
