When Are Reinforcements Considered?

Reinforcements are only on the table if your total number of soldiers falls below a certain level. Near capacity? HQ figures you can manage.

The system also checks the last few days. Fresh arrivals recently? Don't hold your breath for another batch right away.

How the Chance Changes

If reinforcements fail to arrive, the chance increases slightly the next day. Long dry spells become less likely over time, but bad weather can lower your odds regardless.

When reinforcements do arrive, expect waves of four to six.

Cohesion

New soldiers arrive with low Cohesion. They don't know your men. Throwing them straight into difficult missions before they settle in is a gamble.

Bottom Line

Reinforcements are uncertain, but not arbitrary. Losses matter. Weather matters. Time without support increases pressure, but the system slowly corrects itself.

You cannot demand men. You wait, you adapt, you hope.
