So, with 20 points to spend in the Spring of 1641, as an example, Queen Polivka can "recruit" five regiments of foot, with a fighting value of 5, at a cost of 4 points per regiment. Or, she may use the points to "buy" a battery of artillery, a regiment of horse, and spend the rest on regiments of foot. Reinforcement schedules are as follows: Queen Polivka: 100 points over the course of 5 years (5 Springs) 20 points at one time, no more than 1/4 (5 points) may be horse units, no more than 1/4 may be artillery Prince John: 120 points over the course of 6 years (6 Springs) 20 points at one time, no more than 1/4 (5 points) may be horse units, no more than 1/4 may be artillery Scots: 64 points over the course of 4 years (4 Springs). Applies once forces are engaged in campaign. 16 points at one time, no more than 1/4 (4 points) may be horse units. Artillery replacements not possible unless manufacturing town(s) are occupied. (still in development as of 1/98; rule on what constitutes a "manufacturing" town.) (*) Exception: Armies / Commands may "borrow" up to half the allowed points, in addition to those already provided by the schedule, provided the "recruiting" towns are still free of enemy control. Cost for these extra points is double the value of Victory Points. For example, the Queen wants to smash the armies of the Prince in the coming year, so requests 30 points of reinforcements. She will pay double the price in Victory Points for these extra 10 force points. Note: Returns after a battle shall be determined by following the guidelines provided in the Advanced ARMATI book, page 33, under Post-Battle Reclamation. 11.0 GENERAL NOTES: Concerning Supply "points" and the costs of maintaining a force in the field: Each month, one (1) infantry regiment costs one (1) supply point. Each month, one (1) cavalry regiment costs three (3) supply points. Each month, one (1) artillery battery costs two (2) supply points. The cost for maintaining an army then, quickly adds up each month. The revenue for supporting the army is gathered from the districts of the army's home region or province, constructed depots, and possibly captured districts of enemy territories. The campaign map is divided into three "sides", one Rebel, one Royalist, and one Scottish. The Scottish side comprises two (2) regions, totaling seven (7) districts. The Rebel side comprises three (3) regions, totaling 12 districts. The Royalist side comprises three (3) regions, also totaling 12 districts. Each district within the Scottish regions produces 10 supply points. Each district within the Rebel and Royalist regions produces 15 supply points. Every month a total comparison must be made of the supply points "produced" and the supply points "required" by the standing army for that region. If supply production is higher than supply requirement, then the army is considered to be "IN" supply. If supply requirement is higher than supply production, then the army is considered to be "OUT" of supply. Subjugated enemy districts yield a supply production of 2/3 their original value. For example, a subjugated Rebel district will only yield 10 supply points to the conquering Royalist force. A subjugated Scottish district will yield approximately six (6) supply points to the controlling force.
