5.1.5 Setting Up Additional Battalions

You can add battalions to a brigade to replace those lost through combat, or to build up ‘ five battalion’ brigades to their maximum size by adding the sixth and seventh battalions.

This command is written on section -04- on the turn sheet, "Set Up Additional Battalions", and is as follows:

Command:  (brigade)/(battalion type)

Example:4001/22

You have just added a battalion, of troop type 22, into brigade 4001.

The chosen battalion type will go into the first free space in the brigade.

All preconditions valid in section 5.1.4 are also valid here, with the following exceptions : The money required is doubled, and in Europe the types with even code numbers will be set up in any of the seven battalion spaces.

Notes:

You can't actually add additional battalions to a brigade in the same month that it is being built. A brigade is only available for this command, when it appears on your empire sheet with its id number!

When setting up additional battalions, new elite units (i.e. even numbered troop types) can only be added to existing brigades in section -04- of the turn sheet, and can't be created with a new brigade.
