Replacements & Reconstitution in the
|
From the manual (italics mine): "In some scenarios, units may have different priorities for receiving replacements. This will usually be mentioned in the scenario briefing". Any unit may have one of the following priorities, as set in the Scenario Editor by the Designer:
Priority | Percentage Value |
None | 0 (The Unit NEVER Receives Replacements) |
Very Low | 20 |
Low | 40 |
Normal | 60 |
High | 80 |
Very High | 100 |

Players would be wise to note all the above. Additionally, the consequences
of unit breakdowns should also be noted, both as regards the higher probability
of each unit generating a fractional replacement request and therefore getting
none, and as regards the greater likelihood of destroyed/disbanded broken-down
units reconstituting (with a lower 66% of first line equipment threshold)- thereby
soaking up replacements that might otherwise eventually reach on-board units
through the normal Replacement Distribution process.
Players might also want to take care not to have units destroyed early on in
scenarios where there is a large on-hand replacement pool at start that could
cause these units to reconstitute- AND where these replacements might be urgently
needed to compensate for losses in on map units as soon as possible after scenario
start. Otherwise destroyed units may soak up many/all of these replacements
leaving none remaining for on map units when desperately needed- the destroyed
units of course not reappearing on map for up to 4 weeks. This would be especially
true of short time-frame scenarios (1/4 Day Turns) where 4 weeks is represented
by 112 turns- in which case you might never get to see reconstituted units return.
iNot stated here, though indicated elsewhere (next section in this document),
is the proviso that the Replacement Priority must be greater than 0%.
iiThough the process is equally valid for other equipment items.
iiiU#=Unit Number.
ivIn this example U#6. This can be tremendously important- with the average replacement
priority having a far greater effect on overall replacement distribution than
any individual unit’s replacement priority, as evidenced in its use in
this equation. Take a unit putting in a request for 100 units when 100 are available
and its priority is Very High (100%). If it were the only unit with a need it
would receive all of them. If another unit with priority=none (i.e. it NEVER
gets replacements) also has a need for 100, the first unit will only receive
50% of its request or (50 units) while the second unit will still get none-
though it has added its ‘need’ to the equation- resulting in 50
units remaining in the replacement pool.
vRounding appears to be almost always (brutally) down- judging by the TOAWLog
file.
viSoviet Overall Need for Rifle Squads Turn 2=17142. Rate=100. Priority=Normal
(0.6). So 285*(100/17142)*0.6=1.
viiThanks to Jarek Flis for coming up with most of these.
viiiAgain, this can be tremendously important- with the average replacement priority
having a far greater effect on overall replacement distribution than any individual
unit’s replacement priority, as evidenced in its use in this equation.
And note also there must be a change in need for there to be any impact both
for this remedy and the following (related) one.
