Withdrawn Allied airgroups return with planes?
I have a question that I suspect several will be able to answer off the top of their head. When an Allied squadron withdraws for 60 days, upon it's return does it come back with a full compliment of planes? If so, are those planes subtracted from the replacement pool?
I remember in WitP, they returned with planes and they were not taken from the pools, but don't know if it works the same in AE or not.

If allied production is on for the scenario, when it comes back in, it will attempt to draw on existing replacements. If there are none or not enough, the compliment will be reduced or at zero.
As far as if production is off, not sure because havent played that.

Thanks, Andy.
So with production on, returning airgroups will attempt to draw planes from the replacement pools.
Anyone know how it works, if production is off? Not as big a deal to me, as I play with it on, but just for the sake of the full picture.

what I am noticing, is if the production is on and a Squadron is new or withdrawn - if you use up the planes in the pool the squadron will arrive with 2 aircraft. If there are enough planes in the pool, it seems to draw them into the squadron, so if you have 20 in the pool, a squadron sized 16 will have 16 aircraft.
Personally I never bother to check when squadrons are arriving, if I need the planes at the front then thats where they go, so quite a few of my fighter/DB/Patrol squadrons arrive with only 2 planes, and I later fill them in when they reach pearl etc.

RE: Withdrawn Allied airgroups return with planes?
Related to this, I have a question.
OK: There is an sqn which withdraw in 6 months, and it will come back in 2 years. If I push withdraw now, and said no to the question "do you want to reform it in 60 days?", will it come back in 2 years.
Thank u.

RE: Withdrawn Allied airgroups return with planes?
It will come back in 60 days and you still have to w/draw at its sheduled time. And yes, it will return in two years once withdrawn.

RE: Withdrawn Allied airgroups return with planes?
Do airgroups that return on X date return to the base where they were withdrawn at? Or do they return at a home base like San Fran or Sydney or Karachi?
RE: Withdrawn Allied airgroups return with planes?
They come back in Sand Fran, Sydney, Karachi. They also may come in elsewhere, but I've not paid much attention to it, sorry. Don't worry if the base they withdrew from is overrun. They'll still come back somewhere else. Somebody correct me if I'm wrong, but I think Dutch planes reform in Sydney if Java is captured.

I've had at least one case of 3 Dutch Buffallo's coming back at Coco Islands after I have changed it to an ABDA base and put as many Dutch support units I could 'Abda-ise' and get out of Java & Sumatra

Speaking which, I had a weird bug happen, I withdrawn a dutch unit and a fragment showed up at Sydney and the other fragment showed up at Haiphong, China. The original unit actually was in Darwin when I withdrawn for 60 days, not quite sure why a fragment is in china, no way I could of possibly shipped any units that far.

I had condensed together two of the depleted ABDA banshee squadrons and I see it now in my reinforcement list but with a withdrawal date of March 42. As it is currently May of 42 will I be dinged for the total of PP points when it shows up for one turn before I withdraw it permanently?
I've also had what looks to be one of the USAAFE fighter squadrons (21st PS) I also withdrew when consolidating squadrons due to attrition show up in San Fransisco with 2 P40Bs. Two squadrons associated with 224 Group have shown up in Aden with 2 Hurricane IIc planes as well. Likely from being overrun in Singapore and consolidation.
I had a british unit or unit fragment of Catalina's show up in China as well.

I don't believe so, when you receive those squadrons as reinforcement, I would check to see if you need to withdrawal them or not, if so that very turn you need to. I have had squadrons where I withdrawn for 60 days and it was past their due date, i simple withdrawn them when i got them to avoid the pp loss.
Yeah I believe if there isn't enough aircraft in the pool and you withdrawal a squadron for 60 days, you end up with 2 planes, xx amount of pilots which is actually nice because I have so many other airframes I can refill the squadron with, like right now I have over 300 P39s just in case.

RE: Withdrawn Allied airgroups return with planes?
Thanks, I'll make a note to myself to not forget to withdraw them ASAP. I have PDU turned off...and strangely enough the two fighter squadrons showed up in Hurricane IIc's which I have none of in the pool since it is a month before production starts so I'll just leave them in Aden to train till they build up.
