There are 15 technology areas (5 categories x 3 areas each). I think I've figured out the aspects 14 of these 15. However; what is organization? This is one of the three categories in the general technology area. How does this help my war effort?

Well, it increases max effectiveness of your units, and assuming you have no advantage set, each level of Organisation adds one to your max labs.

How it affects max labs in the face of a handicap, I am not sure.

Ok ... I see ... organization increases your maximum effectiveness by a given level. I through your maximum number labs was a function of war effort, which is increased by industry. Correct me if I'm wrong but I though the formula was

Max # labs = floor(war effort (%) / 10)

Is this correct? If so, the maximum number of labs is increased by industry, which grows your war effort %.

You may well be correct, my friend. If you check the manual, section 17.2.5 says of Organization simply that it increases the effectiveness of units. OTOH, we both know the limitations of a manual for a computer game.

I was under the impression that it also allowed more labs, but I may well be mistaken

I don't think organisation has any influence over the max lab you can have, "just" the effectiveness of units.

By no means am I an authority on CEAW.

I beta tested, yes, and I've played it against the AI rather a lot, and I have edited scenarios some. But all that aside, there are many here who know the game better than I do.
