Hi there,

Just starting 1943, and the Soviets are pushing up against Bucharest. I still control the city, though, and there is even a free hex next to it. Nevertheless, my new Romanian unit did not appear this turn – I was expecting a strength '3' infantry. One appears next to Budapest, for example. Here's the position:


What are the requirements for this unit to appear? Free hexes around (or in) the capital? No adjacent enemy units?

Wouldn't it be reasonable to have the unit appear next to another Romanian city if the spaces around the capital are not free? Dropping it in the force pool would be even better, but I gather that just is impossible.

The requirements is a free hex within the country adjacent to the capital. In your situation the free hex is part of Bulgaria and not Romania. So no reinforcements are possible in Bucharest at the moment.

Thanks for the explanation! Any way that the reinforcement could be 'bumped' to another city or something like that, if the capital and surrounding areas are not available?
