6.41 force ratio modifier is not included in the list of amphibious assault modifiers as for reorganization, I can't give you a reference, but I think it's heavily implied. You're welcome to ask a mod if you want. |

I may be wrong but for AA we have just 1 DRM. |

Does that rule apply to general reorganization |
24 | 5/8/2025 11:59:00 AM | Spring 1861 | Confederate | Message |
the force ratio and the fort are separate values we each had +2 so it goes 1/1, but you don't get the star 2SPs reatreat back to AoP or another port you could have sailed from, your choice. |
