Question about Inventory window...

[Tzar]

Guys,

I am looking at the Inventory and Replacements window and I see 5 columns: On Hand, Rate, Turns, Assigned and Lost.

OK, the On Hand and Lost columns are quite obvious: On Hand is what I have as available replacements at the moment and Lost is, well, what I lost so far in the scenario.

But I am a bit more mystified about the Rate, Turns and Assigned columns. Can somebody shed some light on this please? :confused:

Rate is the amount of that piece of equipment you recieve each turn

The turn colums are for starting and ending the rate function

And Assigned is a count of the equipment that is on map for your force.

If I enter 10 as the "Rate" is that number treated as an integer or as a percentage? In other words, would the force recieve 10 pieces of equipment every turn as replacements, or does it recieve 10% of of some total every turn?

I ask the question because the Event engine seems to treat the Rate as a percentage.

Integer. It's the physical # of pieces of equipment/squads.

Yes, this does make a difference in the way replacements are allocated. Obviously ties in with the Replacement thread going on at TDG.

Thanks, Regards, RhinoBones

Thanks Tim! :)

Regarding the turns and rate, if I see a rate of 4 and turn of 3+, it means I receive, every 3 turns, 4 more units of replacement?

no. it means you get 4/turn every turn starting with turn 3 (eg every turn except turns 1 and 2)

AH! Ok, that's clear now.
