Currently, a TF rebase is achieved by a patrol mission to the desired base or a patrol mission close to the desired re-base base. A TF on a raid mission returns to the original home base, unless the original home can't accommodate the TF, in which case it returns to the nearest accommodating base (nearest to the raided area).

Although picking the number of aircraft to reinforce would be a nice option, keep in mind it is a step back from the strategic command of the game. A commander at the scope of this game would issue a "reinforce" order; he would not micromanage the number. Perhaps a "lock" command would be better (and easier to code), which would lock a base's aircraft from reinforcing an adjacent base. That way you could ensure a forward base is not taxed to support a safer base.

There may also be game design considerations that limited this decision (i.e., the ability to leap frog massive air assets in a manner that unbalanced game play)

_ for rebasing, it does not always work if say, there are 2 major bases close to your patrol point. ex: Japanese CV fleet in Home island patrol Singapore and rebase to Home Island instead of Formosa. That demonstrate both the need and possibility to set a 3 points mission manualy : that is TF base at A go patrol B and rebase at C. I'd like more control on that.

_ The problem with reinforcement if that is I want to reinforce both tarawa and Esperitu santo for ex, they will take aircraft from each other, and that is defenetly not the strategic plan!!!
