Campaign Questions

[DennisS]

Pardon me for being such a noob, but I have a couple of questions for the folks here.

I have started a campaign, 750 points. Brits vs. the Italians, 1940. I got a Northern Africa map, and my artillery just blew UP the Italian ground forces. Decisive win.

After I repaired what little damage my forces had, I then had the option of spending quite a lot of points to increase my core forces.

With a long campaign expected, how does that work? If I use all these points to buy new troops, then it will take a ton more points to keep them up and operational.

If I purchase more core units, doesn't the AI also gain an equivalent number of core points to go against me?

Also, I have a ka-billion points to spend on support units. I understand that these support units do not follow me from scenario to scenario, but does the computer ALSO get the same number of support units that I do?

If I don't use these support units, does the computer get to use them? I would get crushed, if this were to occur.

I purposefully chose 750 points, and modestly sized maps. I don't WANT an additional 1250 points to spend. 2000 points worth of units on a 40 x 40 map is overkill. Literally.

Help me out here folks, I be clueless. Thanks.
