6. Reinforcements
During the Reinforcement Phase, each country at war receives
reinforcement units. These units are to be placed either in an HQ, or in a
city (not a town) in their own country or in the GHQ “Reserve” of this
country (See 2.F). Players also receive Recruit Points (RP) to bring their
units that had incurred losses back to full strength.
6.1 Reinforcements Placement
New reinforcement units may be placed (keeping in mind the stacking
limits):
● In one of the stacks or the reserves of an HQ.
● In a non-isolated national city (not a town).
● Directly in the general Reserve of the country’s GHQ.
Units with an Army number must be placed directly with their HQ.
There are two windows that open when you hit the reinforcement button.
One (1) is a vertical window on the left that lists all your armies currently
on the map. The true reinforcement window (2) is along the bottom of your
screen.
If it is empty you have no “placeble reinforcements” This does not mean you
didn’t have any. It just means that all your reinforcements this turn have
been placed in existing or created armies for you by the comp. Use your
message window to see what was placed where.
If reinforcements must arrive in a certain town or city, and this town or city
has been captured by the Enemy, these reinforcements will then arrive in
the closest national city.
Reduced corps are brought back to full strength during the Reinforcement
Phase (with RP), for both sides simultaneously.
There is no Reinforcement phase during the 1st turn of each scenario.
6.2 Recruit Points (RP)
At the start of the game, each country has a “stock” of recruits, called “RP”.
These RP are used to repair reduced units (during the Reinforcement
phase), as well as to support (back up) losses during combat (during the
battles in the Military phase).
Each turn, each country receives an RP “flow”. These RP are added to the
stock and are used:
● Either to bring reduced corps back to full strength. Each country may
spend ½ its RP stock (rounded up) per turn to do this.
● Each HQ may only replenish 2 units for its Army.
● The Main Army may replenish 4 units (the one with up to 12 corps).
● The GHQ may replenish 2 units of its reserve.
● A country may also replenish 2 units anywhere, as well as any
number of garrisons in fortresses. In total, one HQ or the GHQ may
fill up 4 units per turn, or 6 for the Main Army.
● Or, with the remaining RP, to replenish losses sustained during
combat, when a unit is diminished and must do a morale check.
● A minor country may replenish up to 4 corps.
● RP cannot be used for isolated corps.
Stocking RP
RP are saved from one turn to the next. However, a maximum capacity per
country exists (at the end of the Reinforcement phase), equal to double its
RP flow.
Maximum capacity in 1914–1915:
Germany 32 Austria 24 France 24 Russia 34
England 12 Italy 24 Turkey 20 Minor countries: 10 (each)
