question repairs/change

[Wdll]

Although I have played more than a couple of PBEM campaigns (and few against the AI), I have never tried this and I am considering trying it for a PBEM campaign. Is it possible, good, bad things about it?

What? Oh, yeah, changing a damaged/destroyed unit into something else at the end of one battle, without first repairing it.

I did that once. The cost to change a damanged unit was more than to change a non-damaged unit of the same type. I don't know if the additional cost as offset by the repairs, or if it was a different amount. I'll have to check it out at the end of my current battle.

IIRC,it was said if you plan on changing the unit anyway,do not repair.

I remember that because i thought that was important.

I'm almost sure it was Andy or Don.

Of course.

If you repair it and then change it you pay twice:
1) the points to repair it
2) The points to change it (assuming the new unit is more expensive)

The points to repair a destroyed unit are about 50% of full unit cost.

If you simply change the unit without repairing it then you avoid cost 1.

Andy, you say about 2)The points to change it (assuming the new unit is more expensive).
Do you mean that if the new unit is less expensive (say of a different type), you will get points back?

No - you will just have spent less points on the change.

Go fig. It looks like I was wrong in my theory. Thanks for clearing it up.

OK, thank you.
