Barticus Posted March 15, 2001 Share Posted March 15, 2001 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 ------------------ G'Damn them all, I was told We'd cruise the seas for American gold We'd fired no guns, shed no tears Now I'm a broken man on a Halifax pier The last of Barrett's Privateers Stan Rogers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
McAuliffe Posted March 15, 2001 Share Posted March 15, 2001 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
